Abstract
Phosphomannose isomerase (PMI) is a housekeeping enzyme that is found in organisms ranging from bacteria to fungi to mammals and is important for cell-wall synthesis, viability and signalling. PMI is a zinc-dependent enzyme that catalyses the reversible isomerization between mannose 6-phosphate (M6P) and fructose 6-phosphate (F6P), presumably via the formation of a cis-enediol intermediate. The reaction is hypothesized to involve ring opening of M6P, the transfer of a proton from the C2 atom to the C1 atom and between the O1 and O2 atoms of the substrate, followed by ring closure resulting in the product F6P. Several attempts have been made to decipher the role of zinc ions and various residues in the catalytic function of PMI. However, there is no consensus on the catalytic base and the mechanism of the reaction catalyzed by the enzyme. In the present study, based on the structure of PMI from Salmonella typhimurium, site-directed mutagenesis targeting residues close to the bound metal ion and activity studies on the mutants, zinc ions were shown to be crucial for substrate binding. These studies also suggest Lys86 as the most probable catalytic base abstracting the proton in the isomerization reaction. Plausible roles for the highly conserved residues Lys132 and Arg274 could also be discerned based on comparison of the crystal structures of wild-type and mutant PMIs. PMIs from prokaryotes possess a low sequence identity to the human enzyme, ranging between 30% and 40%. Since PMI is important for the virulence of many pathogenic organisms, the identification of catalytically important residues will facilitate its use as a potential antimicrobial drug target.

Abstract
Mannose-6-phosphate isomerase catalyzes the interconversion of mannose-6-phosphate and fructose-6-phosphate. The gene encoding a putative mannose-6-phosphate isomerase from Thermus thermophilus was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The native enzyme was a 29 kDa monomer with activity maxima for mannose 6-phosphate at pH 7.0 and 80 °C in the presence of 0.5 mM Zn(2+) that was present at one molecule per monomer. The half-lives of the enzyme at 65, 70, 75, 80, and 85 °C were 13, 6.5, 3.7, 1.8, and 0.2 h, respectively. The 15 putative active-site residues within 4.5 Å of the substrate mannose 6-phosphate in the homology model were individually replaced with other amino acids. The sequence alignments, activities, and kinetic analyses of the wild-type and mutant enzymes with amino acid changes at His50, Glu67, His122, and Glu132 as well as homology modeling suggested that these four residues are metal-binding residues and may be indirectly involved in catalysis. In the model, Arg11, Lys37, Gln48, Lys65 and Arg142 were located within 3 Å of the bound mannose 6-phosphate. Alanine substitutions of Gln48 as well as Arg142 resulted in increase of K(m) and dramatic decrease of k(cat), and alanine substitutions of Arg11, Lys37, and Lys65 affected enzyme activity. These results suggest that these 5 residues are substrate-binding residues. Although Trp13 was located more than 3 Å from the substrate and may not interact directly with substrate or metal, the ring of Trp13 was essential for enzyme activity.

Abstract
Type I phosphomannose isomerases (PMIs) are zinc-dependent metalloenzymes involved in the reversible isomerization of D-mannose 6-phosphate (M6P) and D-fructose 6-phosphate (F6P). 5-Phospho-D-arabinonohydroxamic acid (5PAH), an inhibitor endowed with nanomolar affinity for yeast (Type I) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Type II) PMIs (Roux et al., Biochemistry 2004; 43:2926-2934), strongly inhibits human (Type I) PMI (for which we report an improved expression and purification procedure), as well as Escherichia coli (Type I) PMI. Its K(i) value of 41 nM for human PMI is the lowest value ever reported for an inhibitor of PMI. 5-Phospho-D-arabinonhydrazide, a neutral analogue of the reaction intermediate 1,2-cis-enediol, is about 15 times less efficient at inhibiting both enzymes, in accord with the anionic nature of the postulated high-energy reaction intermediate. Using the polarizable molecular mechanics, sum of interactions between fragments ab initio computed (SIBFA) procedure, computed structures of the complexes between Candida albicans (Type I) PMI and the cyclic substrate β-D-mannopyranose 6-phosphate (β-M6P) and between the enzyme and the high-energy intermediate analogue inhibitor 5PAH are reported. Their analysis allows us to identify clearly the nature of each individual active site amino acid and to formulate a hypothesis for the overall mechanism of the reaction catalyzed by Type I PMIs, that is, the ring-opening and isomerization steps, respectively. Following enzyme-catalyzed ring-opening of β-M6P by zinc-coordinated water and Gln111 ligands, Lys136 is identified as the probable catalytic base involved in proton transfer between the two carbon atoms C1 and C2 of the substrate D-mannose 6-phosphate.

Abstract
An uncharacterized gene from Thermus thermophilus, thought to encode a mannose-6-phosphate isomerase, was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The maximal activity of the recombinant enzyme for L-ribulose isomerization was observed at pH 7.0 and 75°C in the presence of 0.5 mM Cu(2+). Among all of the pentoses and hexoses evaluated, the enzyme exhibited the highest activity for the conversion of L-ribulose to L-ribose, a potential starting material for many L-nucleoside-based pharmaceutical compounds. The active-site residues, predicted according to a homology-based model, were separately replaced with Ala. The residue at position 142 was correlated with an increase in L-ribulose isomerization activity. The R142N mutant showed the highest activity among mutants modified with Ala, Glu, Tyr, Lys, Asn, or Gln. The specific activity and catalytic efficiency (k(cat)/K(m)) for L-ribulose using the R142N mutant were 1.4- and 1.6-fold higher than those of the wild-type enzyme, respectively. The k(cat)/K(m) of the R142N mutant was 3.8-fold higher than that of Geobacillus thermodenitrificans mannose-6-phosphate isomerase, which exhibited the highest activity to date for the previously reported k(cat)/K(m). The R142N mutant enzyme produced 213 g/liter L-ribose from 300 g/liter L-ribulose for 2 h, with a volumetric productivity of 107 g liter(-1) h(-1), which was 1.5-fold higher than that of the wild-type enzyme.

Abstract
Phosphomannose isomerase (PMI) plays a pivotal role in biosynthesis of GDP-mannose, an important precursor of many polysaccharides. We demonstrate in this study that Pseudomonas aeruginosa pslB encodes a protein with GDP-mannose pyrophosphorylase/PMI dual activities. The PMI activity is Co2+-dependent and could be inhibited by GDP-mannose in a competitive manner. Furthermore, the activity could be inactivated by 2,3-butanedione suggesting the presence of a catalytic Arg residue. Site-specific mutations at R373, R472, R479, E410, H411, N433 and E458 increase the KM approximately 8-20-fold. The PMI activity of PslB was completely diminished with a R408K or R408A, reflecting the importance of this residue in catalysis. Overall, these results provide a basis for understanding the catalytic mechanism of PMI.

Abstract
Phosphomannose isomerase (PMI; EC. 5.3.1.8) is an essential metalloenzyme in the early steps of the protein glycosylation pathway in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. The Cys150 residue (according to Candida albicans PMI numbering) is conserved in the active centre of mammalian and yeast PMI, but not in bacterial species where it is replaced by Asn. Here, the dose- and time-dependent inhibitory effect of the NO-donor S-nitroso-acetyl-penicillamine on the Saccharomyces cerevisiae PMI catalytic activity is reported. The analysis of the X-ray crystal structure of C. albicans PMI and of the molecular model of S. cerevisiae PMI provides a rationale for the low reactivity of Cys150 towards alkylating and nitrosylating agents.

Abstract
We show that theoretical microscopic titration curves (THEMATICS) can be used to identify active-site residues in proteins of known structure. Results are featured for three enzymes: triosephosphate isomerase (TIM), aldose reductase (AR), and phosphomannose isomerase (PMI). We note that TIM and AR have similar structures but catalyze different kinds of reactions, whereas TIM and PMI have different structures but catalyze similar reactions. Analysis of the theoretical microscopic titration curves for all of the ionizable residues of these proteins shows that a small fraction (3-7%) of the curves possess a flat region where the residue is partially protonated over a wide pH range. The preponderance of residues with such perturbed curves occur in the active site. Additional results are given in summary form to show the success of the method for proteins with a variety of different chemistries and structures.

Abstract
Candida albicans phosphomannose isomerase (PMI) is a zinc metalloprotein of known crystal structure. When heterologously overexpressed in Escherichia coli, a blue protein that contains up to 0.5 iron atoms/PMI molecule could be isolated, with absorption maxima at 420 nm and 680 nm. These bands are reminiscent of ferric catecholate complexes, an assignment that has been confirmed by resonance Raman spectroscopy, and by reaction with Arnow's reagent, which is specific for the presence of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (Dopa). After enzymatic digestion of blue PMI, a peptide with the sequence DPHAXISG was isolated corresponding to residues Asp283-Gly290 in the amino acid sequence of C. albicans PMI, where the unidentified residue X287 is encoded by a tyrosine codon. It is proposed that iron and oxygen bring about hydroxylation of Tyr287 in PMI and that Fe(III) subsequently chelates the Dopa residue to give the characteristic absorption spectrum. The EPR spectrum of the blue protein suggests three iron environments in the protein, two in axial environments with E/D values approximately equal to 0.06 and 0.12 and one rhombic species. The nature of the iron co-ordination sites is discussed with the help of model systems and by comparison with other blue non-heme iron proteins.

Abstract
Sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles were treated with 1, 2-cyclohexanedione (CHD) in sodium borate (pH 8.0). The Ca2+-ATPase activity was completely inhibited. Inhibition of Mg.ATP and Mg.ADP binding to the high affinity ATP binding site as well as inhibition of phosphorylation with ATP occurred simultaneously with the inhibition of the Ca2+-ATPase activity. Phosphorylation with acetyl phosphate was not inhibited. The Ca2+-ATPase was strongly protected by Mg.ATP, Mg.ADP, and Mg.AMP against this inhibition. Binding of acetyl phosphate or Pi to the enzyme gave no protection. Phosphorylation with acetyl phosphate also had no protective effect. Peptide mapping of the tryptic digests, detection of peptides containing CHD-modified arginyl residues with Girard's reagent T, and sequencing revealed that Arg-489, Arg-505, and Arg-678 were modified with CHD. Arg-489 and Arg-678 were almost completely protected by Mg.ATP against this modification, but partially protected by prelabeling with fluorescein 5-isothiocyanate, which occupies the adenosine binding region in the ATP binding site. In contrast, Arg-505 was slightly protected by Mg.ATP and almost completely protected by prelabeling with fluorescein 5-isothiocyanate. Taken together, these findings suggest that Arg-489 and Arg-678 are located in or near the region occupied by the triphosphate moiety of ATP, either or both of these residues being in or close to the region occupied by the alpha-phosphoryl group in the high affinity ATP binding site and involved in the CHD-induced inhibition of this enzyme and that Arg-505 is very close to (but slightly out of) the adenosine binding region in the ATP binding site. The acetyl phosphatase activity and phosphorylation with Pi were also inhibited by the CHD treatment, but the inhibitions were considerably slower than those described above. This suggests that the arginyl residues involved in these inhibitions are distinct from that involved in the inhibition of the Ca2+-ATPase activity.

Abstract
1. Chemical modification of the Ca(2+)-ATPase with phenylglyoxal, as a modifier of arginine residues, leads to an almost total loss of the ATPase activity. The presence of nucleotides in the reaction medium protects against the binding of 18 nmol of phenylglyoxal/mg of protein and this reduction in the binding of phenylglyoxal is accompanied by a substantial retention of ATPase activity. The incorporation of phenylglyoxal to the protein alters neither calcium binding nor phosphorylation from inorganic phosphate. Nevertheless the binding of nucleotides is dramatically inhibited and, consequently, so is phosphorylation from ATP. Fluorescein 5'-isothiocyanate labelling of the phenylglyoxal-modified ATPase is not affected but, on the other hand, phenylglyoxal is not able to modify the fluorescein 5'-isothiocyanate-prelabelled ATPase. The way in which ATPase inhibition depends on the presence of phenylglyoxal indicates that this process occurs in a pseudo-first-order reaction. However, the dependence of the apparent first-order rate constant on phenylglyoxal concentration appears to be more complex and an inhibition mechanism of two steps, with phenylglyoxal binding, has to be taken into account. 2. We have found that phenylglyoxal labels both A and B tryptic fragments, but only B fragment labelling is prevented by ATP. The sequencing of peptides from mild acid hydrolysis of phenylglyoxal-labelled ATPase shows that phenylglyoxal is located in the Ala506-Gly595 peptide that is a part of the B fragment. 3. We conclude that phenylglyoxal inactivates the calcium pump in a two-step mechanism in which the second step is irreversible. Phenylglyoxal labels an arginyl residue in the Ala506-Gly595 peptide that can be protected by the binding of ATP to its site.

Abstract
The crucial role of two reactive arginyl residues within the substrate binding domain of human Type I D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3) 5-phosphatase has been investigated by chemical modification and site-directed mutagenesis. Chemical modification of the enzyme by phenylglyoxal is accompanied by irreversible inhibition of enzymic activity. Our studies demonstrate that phenylglyoxal forms an enzyme-inhibitor complex and that the modification reaction is prevented in the presence of either Ins(1,4,5)P3, D-myo-inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate (Ins(1,3,4,5)P4) or 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate (2,3-BPG). Direct [3H]Ins(1,4,5)P3 binding to the covalently modified enzyme is dramatically reduced. The stoichiometry of labeling with 14C-labeled phenylglyoxal is shown to be 2.1 mol of phenylglyoxal incorporated per mol of enzyme. A single [14C]phenylglyoxal-modified peptide is isolated following alpha-chymotrypsin proteolysis of the radiolabeled Ins(1,4,5)P3 5-phosphatase and reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The peptide sequence (i.e. M-N-T-R-C-P-A-W-C-D-R-I-L) corresponds to amino acids 340-352 of Ins(1,4,5)P3 5-phosphatase. An estimate of the radioactivity of the different phenylthiohydantoin amino acid derivatives shows the modified amino acids to be Arg-343 and Arg-350. Furthermore, two mutant enzymes were obtained by site-directed mutagenesis of the two arginyl residues to alanine, and both mutant enzymes have identical UV circular dichroism (CD) spectra. The two mutants (i.e. R343A and R350A) show increased Km values for Ins(l,4,5)P3 (10- and 15-fold, respectively) resulting in a dramatic loss in enzymic activity. In conclusion, we have directly identified two reactive arginyl residues as part of the active site of Ins(1,4,5)P3 5-phosphatase. These results point out the crucial role for substrate recognition of a 10 amino acids-long sequence segment which is conserved among the primary structure of inositol and phosphatidylinositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatases.

Abstract
Phosphomannose isomerase (PMI) catalyses the reversible isomerization of fructose-6-phosphate (F6P) and mannose-6-phosphate (M6P). Absence of PMI activity in yeasts causes cell lysis and thus the enzyme is a potential target for inhibition and may be a route to antifungal drugs. The 1.7 A crystal structure of PMI from Candida albicans shows that the enzyme has three distinct domains. The active site lies in the central domain, contains a single essential zinc atom, and forms a deep, open cavity of suitable dimensions to contain M6P or F6P The central domain is flanked by a helical domain on one side and a jelly-roll like domain on the other.

Abstract
Chemical modification by phenylglyoxal, an arginine-specific reagent, of both native and recombinant rat brain inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3] 3-kinase A was accompanied by irreversible inhibition of enzyme activity. This effect was prevented in the presence of the substrate ATP but not Ins(1,4,5)P3. The modification reaction obeyed pseudo-first-order rate kinetics. Complete inhibition of activity corresponded to incorporation of 1.2 mol of phenylglyoxal per mol of protein. A single [14C]phenylglyoxal-modified peptide was isolated following alpha-chymotrypsin digestion of the radiolabelled Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase and reverse-phase HPLC. ATP prevented the incorporation of radioactivity to this peptide. The peptide sequence (i.e. QWREGISSSTTL) corresponded to amino acids 315 to 326 of rat brain Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase A. An estimate of the radioactivity of the different phenylthiohydantoin amino acid derivative showed the modified amino acid to be Arg-317. The data directly identify a reactive arginine residue as part of the ATP-binding site. Arg-317 is located within a sequence segment which is conserved among the catalytic domain of Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase isoenzymes A and B in human and rat species.
