Octopine dehydrogenase (N2-(D-1-carboxyethyl)-L-arginine:NAD+ oxidoreductase, OcDH, ODH) is a dehydrogenase enzyme in the opine dehydrogenase family that helps maintain redox balance under anaerobic conditions. It is found largely in aquatic invertebrates, especially mollusks, sipunculids, and coelenterates, [1] and plays a role analogous to lactate dehydrogenase (found largely in vertebrates) [2] . In the presence of NADH, OcDH catalyzes the reductive condensation of an α-keto acid with an amino acid to form N-carboxyalkyl-amino acids (opines). [1] The purpose of this reaction is to reoxidize glycolytically formed NADH to NAD+, replenishing this important reductant used in glycolysis and allowing for the continued production of ATP in the absence of oxygen.

Structure

OcDH is a monomer with a molecular weight of 38kD [5] made of two functionally distinct subunits. The first, Domain I, is composed of 199 amino acids and contains a Rossmann fold. [6] Domain II is composed of 204 amino acids and is connected to the Rossmann fold of Domain I via its N-terminus. [7]

Mechanism

Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITR), [3] nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) [8] crystallography, [6] [8] and clonal studies [1] [6] of OcDH and its substrates have led to the identification of the enzyme reaction mechanism. First, the Rossmann fold in Domain I of OcDH binds NADH. [6] Binding of NADH to the Rossmann fold triggers small conformational change typical in the binding of NADH to most dehydrogenases [9] resulting in an interaction between the pyrophosphate moiety of NADH with residue Arg324 on Domain II. This interaction with Arg324 generates and stabilizes the L-arginine binding site [8] and triggers partial domain closure (reduction in the distance between the two domains). [6] The binding of the guanidinium headgroup of L-arginine to the active site of the OcDH:NADH complex (located between the domains) induces a rotational movement of Domain II towards Domain I (via a helix-kink-helix structure in Domain II). [8] This conformational change forms the pyruvate binding site. Binding of pyruvate to the OcDH:NADH:L-arginine complex places the alpha-ketogroup of pyruvate in proximity with the alpha-amino group of L-arginine. The juxtaposition of these groups on the substrates results in the formation of a Schiff base which is subsequently reduced to D-octopine. [6] The priming of the pyruvate site for hydride transfer via a Schiff base through the sequential binding of NADH and L-arginine to OcDH prevents the reduction of pyruvate to lactate. [8]

Substrate specificity

Octopine dehydrogenase has at least two structural characteristics that contribute to substrate specificity. Upon binding to NADH, amino acid residues lining either side of the active site within the space between the domains of OcDH act as a “molecular ruler”, physically limiting the size of the substrates that can fit into the active site. [6] There is also a negatively charged pocket in the cleft between the two domains that acts an “electrostatic sink” that captures the positively charged side-chain of L-arginine. [6]

Evolution

Examination of OcDH reaction rates from different organisms in the presence of different substrates has demonstrated a trend of increasing specificity for substrates in animals of increasing complexity. [10] Evolutionary modification in substrate specificity is seen most drastically in the amino acid substrate. OcDH from some sea anemones has been shown to be able to use non-guanidino amino acids whereas OcDH form more complex invertebrates, such as the cuttlefish, can only use L-arginine (a guanidino amino acid). [10]

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a nucleotide that provides energy to drive and support many processes in living cells, such as muscle contraction, nerve impulse propagation, and chemical synthesis.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Citric acid cycle</span> Interconnected biochemical reactions releasing energy

The citric acid cycle—also known as the Krebs cycle, Szent–Györgyi–Krebs cycle or the TCA cycle (tricarboxylic acid cycle)—is a series of biochemical reactions to release the energy stored in nutrients through the oxidation of acetyl-CoA derived from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. The chemical energy released is available under the form of ATP. The Krebs cycle is used by organisms that respire (as opposed to organisms that ferment) to generate energy, either by anaerobic respiration or aerobic respiration. In addition, the cycle provides precursors of certain amino acids, as well as the reducing agent NADH, that are used in numerous other reactions. Its central importance to many biochemical pathways suggests that it was one of the earliest components of metabolism. Even though it is branded as a "cycle", it is not necessary for metabolites to follow only one specific route; at least three alternative segments of the citric acid cycle have been recognized.

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is a coenzyme central to metabolism. Found in all living cells, NAD is called a dinucleotide because it consists of two nucleotides joined through their phosphate groups. One nucleotide contains an adenine nucleobase and the other, nicotinamide. NAD exists in two forms: an oxidized and reduced form, abbreviated as NAD+ and NADH (H for hydrogen), respectively.

Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) is a complex of three enzymes that converts pyruvate into acetyl-CoA by a process called pyruvate decarboxylation. Acetyl-CoA may then be used in the citric acid cycle to carry out cellular respiration, and this complex links the glycolysis metabolic pathway to the citric acid cycle. Pyruvate decarboxylation is also known as the "pyruvate dehydrogenase reaction" because it also involves the oxidation of pyruvate.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Isocitrate dehydrogenase</span> Class of enzymes

Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) (EC 1.1.1.42) and (EC 1.1.1.41) is an enzyme that catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of isocitrate, producing alpha-ketoglutarate (α-ketoglutarate) and CO2. This is a two-step process, which involves oxidation of isocitrate (a secondary alcohol) to oxalosuccinate (a ketone), followed by the decarboxylation of the carboxyl group beta to the ketone, forming alpha-ketoglutarate. In humans, IDH exists in three isoforms: IDH3 catalyzes the third step of the citric acid cycle while converting NAD+ to NADH in the mitochondria. The isoforms IDH1 and IDH2 catalyze the same reaction outside the context of the citric acid cycle and use NADP+ as a cofactor instead of NAD+. They localize to the cytosol as well as the mitochondrion and peroxisome.

The branched-chain α-ketoacid dehydrogenase complex is a multi-subunit complex of enzymes that is found on the mitochondrial inner membrane. This enzyme complex catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of branched, short-chain alpha-ketoacids. BCKDC is a member of the mitochondrial α-ketoacid dehydrogenase complex family, which also includes pyruvate dehydrogenase and alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, key enzymes that function in the Krebs cycle.
