Comments
This enzyme is composed of ATPase region, which is responsible for hydrolysis of ATP, and topoisomerase region, which is responsible for intramolecular transfer reaction of DNA molecule (DNA binding and clevage). The PDB structures, 1pvg, 1q1d, & 1qzr, correspond to the ATPase region, whilst the rest of PDB structures, 1bgw & 1bjt, correspond to the topoisomeraes region. The topoisomerase region can be divided into the N-terminal B' fragment (residues 410-679) and C-terminal A' fragment (residues 680-1202). The structure of the C-terminal domain with phosphorylation sites has not been determined yet.
The literature [22] describes the roles and the relationships between the two functional regions, ATPase and topisomerase regions.
According to the literature [10] & [11], the catalytic cycle of this enzyme proceeds as follows:
(A) DNA binding: A pair of DNA duplexes bind to the enzyme. Here, the DNA duplex that will be cleaved is called G-segment of DNA, whilst the other DNA duplex that will be transported is called T-segment.
(B) The cleavage of G-segment (pre-strand passage): At this step, active-site tyrosine (Tyr783 of 1bgw) residues at the dimer of A' fragment make nucleophilic attacks on the 5'-terminal phosphate groups of the DNA broken sites, to form covalent bonds with the G-segment, by leaving 4-base stagger. This reaction requires magnesium ion, which must be bound to cluster of acidic residues (Glu450, Asp527, Asp529 & Asp531 of 1bgw) (see [15]).
According to the literature [17], this trans-esterfication proceeds as follows:
(B1) Either Glu450 or Asp531 (of 1bgw) from other protomer (of the dimer) assists the active-site tyrosine, Tyr783, probably by abstracting a proton from the phenol group.
(B2) The activated Tyr783 makes a nucleophilic attack on the phosphate of G-segment, to form a covalent bond. At this step, Arg690 and Arg650 (from the other chain) probably stabilize the transtion-state together with magnesium ion bound to the acidic residues
(However, the tertiary structure of the dimer complex is not available, and it is difficult to confirm that these residues are close enough.)
(C) DNA strand passage: ATP binding to the N-terminal ATPase domain converts the enzyme to a closed protein clamp, by inducing the dimerization of the N-terminal domain (see [5]). During the dimerization, the enzyme domains capture the second DNA duplex (T-segment), and push it into the interior of the enzyme and through the DNA gate, made by the cleavage of the first DNA duplex (G-segment) (see [6]).
(B') The religation of G-segment (post-strand passage): The reverse reaction of the cleavage. (Possibly, the hydroxyl group of 3'-end of DNA makes a nucleophilic attack on the phosphate group linked to the active-site tyrosine residues.)
(D) ATP hydrolysis: ATP hydrolysis triggers the opening of the protein clamp, releasing the DNA product (T-segment). According to the literature [13] & [20], the ATP hydrolysis (at ATPase) proceeds as follows;
(D1) Glu66 (of 1pvg) acts as a general base, to activate a water molecule, which must be in-line for a nucleophilic attack on the gamma-phosphate of ATP. Lys367 may stabilize the activated water during this reaction.
(D2) Lys367 stabilizes the transition-state, along with mainchain amide of resdiues 141-145. Magnesium ion, bound to Asn70, stabilizes the transition-state.
