The pmmA gene encoding a bifunctional phosphomannomutase/phosphoglucomutase (PMM/PGM) from the photosynthetic prokaryote, Prochlorothrix hollandica has been cloned and sequenced. The gene encodes a 51827 Da polypeptide 48% identical to the PMM of Azospirillum brasilense, 37% identical to the PGMs of pathogenic Neisseria sp. and 37% identical to the bifunctional AlgC PGM/PMM of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The pmmA gene encodes an enzyme having both PGM and PMM activities as judged by both enzyme assays and complementation analysis in which the cloned gene partially corrected the pgm-1 mutation of Escherichia coli.

Different phosphomutases-phosphoglucomutase (EC 2.7.5.1; PGM) and phosphomannomutase (EC 2.7.5.7; PMM) from maize (Zea mays L.) leaves have been purified. PGM and PMM were completely separated from each other. The purified PGM was shown to be electrophoretically homogeneous. The PGM from maize leaves was found to be a homodimer with an apparent molecular mass of 132 kDa, the size of the subunits was 66 kDa. The PGM is a bifunctional enzyme, which can use both glucose-1-phosphate and mannose-1-phosphate as substrates. In contrast, the PMM appears to be monospecific for mannose-1-phosphate. Evidence is presented that PMM differs from PGM. Some properties of the maize leaves PGM and PMM differ in many respects (K(m) for substrates, pH optimum). However, some properties of PGM and PMM were similar (influence of Mg2+ and Mn2+ ions).

The enzyme phosphomannomutase/phosphoglucomutase (PMM/PGM) catalyzes the conversion of mannose 6-phosphate to mannose 1-phosphate in the second step of the alginate biosynthetic pathway of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. PMM/PGM has been crystallized by hanging-drop vapor diffusion in space group P2(1)2(1)2(1). Crystals diffract to 1.75 A resolution on a synchrotron X-ray source under cryo-cooling conditions. PMM/PGM substituted with selenomethionine has been purified and crystallizes isomorphously with the native enzyme. Structure determination by MAD phasing is under way. Because of its role in alginate biosynthesis, PMM/PGM is a potential target for therapeutic inhibitors to combat P. aeruginosa infections.

The enzyme phosphomannomutase/phosphoglucomutase (PMM/PGM) is responsible for the formation of mannose 1-phosphate and glucose 1-phosphate in the human pathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Mannose 1-phosphate and glucose 1-phosphate are required for the biosynthesis of polysaccharides that contribute to the virulence of P. aeruginosa, so inhibitors of PMM/PGM may lead to clinically useful compounds. The V/K values for mannose 6-phosphate and glucose 6-phosphate show that they are equally good substrates for the enzyme. PMM/PGM overexpressed in Escherichia coli is isolated as a phosphoenzyme; surprisingly, mutation of serine 108 where phosphorylation occurs results in phosphorylation of a different residue so that activity is reduced only 20-fold from that of wild-type enzyme. In the reverse reaction glucose 1-phosphate exhibits substrate inhibition, which arises through its competition with the activator glucose 1,6-bisphosphate for binding to dephosphoenzyme. This phenomenon is consistent with a mechanism in which the enzyme phosphorylates the substrate to generate a bisphosphorylated intermediate that reorients in the active site to return its original phosphoryl group to the enzyme and generate the observed product. The pH dependence of the kinetic parameters suggests that the active site contains a residue that serves as a general base in the catalytic reaction and one that acts as a general acid. However, the pK of the general acid is 7.4 and that of the general base is 8.4 so these residues exist in a state of reverse protonation in the active enzyme.

The enzyme phosphomannomutase/phosphoglucomutase (PMM/PGM) from P. aeruginosa is required for the biosynthesis of two bacterial exopolysaccharides: alginate and lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Both of these molecules play a role in the virulence of P. aeruginosa, an important human pathogen known for its ability to develop antibiotic resistance and cause chronic lung infections in cystic fibrosis patients. The crystal structure of PMM/PGM shows that the enzyme has four domains, three of which have a similar three-dimensional fold. Residues from all four domains of the protein contribute to the formation of a large active site cleft in the center of the molecule. Detailed information on the active site of PMM/PGM lays the foundation for structure-based inhibitor design. Inhibitors of sufficient potency and specificity should impair the biosynthesis of alginate and LPS, and may facilitate clearance of the bacteria by the host immune system and increase the efficacy of conventional antibiotic treatment against chronic P. aeruginosa infections.

Phosphoglucomutases catalyze the interconversion of D-glucose 1-phosphate and D-glucose 6-phosphate, a reaction central to energy metabolism in all cells and to the synthesis of cell wall polysaccharides in bacterial cells. Two classes of phosphoglucomutases (alpha-PGM and beta-PGM) are distinguished on the basis of their specificity for alpha- and beta-glucose-1-phosphate. beta-PGM is a member of the haloacid dehalogenase (HAD) superfamily, which includes the sarcoplasmic Ca(2+)-ATPase, phosphomannomutase, and phosphoserine phosphatase. beta-PGM is unusual among family members in that the common phosphoenzyme intermediate exists as a stable ground-state complex in this enzyme. Herein we report, for the first time, the three-dimensional structure of a beta-PGM and the first view of the true phosphoenzyme intermediate in the HAD superfamily. The crystal structure of the Mg(II) complex of phosphorylated beta-phosphoglucomutase (beta-PGM) from Lactococcus lactis has been determined to 2.3 A resolution by multiwavelength anomalous diffraction (MAD) phasing on selenomethionine, and refined to an R(cryst) = 0.24 and R(free) = 0.28. The active site of beta-PGM is located between the core and the cap domain and is freely solvent accessible. The residues within a 6 A radius of the phosphorylated Asp8 include Asp10, Thr16, Ser114, Lys145, Glu169, and Asp170. The cofactor Mg(2+) is liganded with octahedral coordination geometry by the carboxylate side chains of Asp8, Glu169, Asp170, and the backbone carbonyl oxygen of Asp10 along with one oxygen from the Asp8-phosphoryl group and one water ligand. The phosphate group of the phosphoaspartyl residue, Asp8, interacts with the side chains of Ser114 and Lys145. The absence of a base residue near the aspartyl phosphate group accounts for the persistence of the phosphorylated enzyme under physiological conditions. Substrate docking shows that glucose-6-P can bind to the active site of phosphorylated beta-PGM in such a way as to position the C(1)OH near the phosphoryl group of the phosphorylated Asp8 and the C(6) phosphoryl group near the carboxylate group of Asp10. This result suggests a novel two-base mechanism for phosphoryl group transfer in a phosphorylated sugar.

Enzyme-substrate complexes of phosphomannomutase/phosphoglucomutase (PMM/PGM) reveal the structural basis of the enzyme's ability to use four different substrates in catalysis. High-resolution structures with glucose 1-phosphate, glucose 6-phosphate, mannose 1-phosphate, and mannose 6-phosphate show that the position of the phosphate group of each substrate is held constant by a conserved network of hydrogen bonds. This produces two distinct, and mutually exclusive, binding orientations for the sugar rings of the 1-phospho and 6-phospho sugars. Specific binding of both orientations is accomplished by key contacts with the O3 and O4 hydroxyls of the sugar, which must occupy equatorial positions. Dual recognition of glucose and mannose phosphosugars uses a combination of specific protein contacts and nonspecific solvent contacts. The ability of PMM/PGM to accommodate these four diverse substrates in a single active site is consistent with its highly reversible phosphoryl transfer reaction and allows it to function in multiple biosynthetic pathways in P. aeruginosa.

The alpha-D-phosphohexomutase superfamily is composed of four related enzymes that catalyze a reversible, intramolecular phosphoryl transfer on their sugar substrates. The enzymes in this superfamily play important and diverse roles in carbohydrate metabolism in organisms from bacteria to humans. Recent structural and mechanistic studies of one member of this superfamily, phosphomannomutase/phosphoglucomutase (PMM/PGM) from Pseudomonas aeruginosa, have provided new insights into enzyme mechanism and substrate recognition. Here we use sequence-sequence and sequence-structure comparisons via evolutionary trace analysis to examine 71 members of the alpha-D-phosphohexomutase superfamily. These analyses show that key residues in the active site, including many of those involved in substrate contacts in the P. aeruginosa PMM/PGM complexes, are conserved throughout the enzyme family. Several important regions show class-specific differences in sequence that appear to be correlated with differences in substrate specificity exhibited by subgroups of the family. In addition, we describe the translocation of a 20-residue segment containing the catalytic phosphoserine of phosphoacetylglucosamine mutase, which uniquely identifies members of this subgroup.

The phosphomannomutase/phosphoglucomutase (PMM/PGM) enzyme catalyzes reversibly the intra-molecular phosphoryl interconverting reaction of mannose-6-phosphate and mannose-1-phosphate or glucose-6-phosphate and glucose-1-phosphate. Glucose-6-phosphate and glucose-1-phosphate are known to be utilized for energy metabolism and cell surface construction, respectively. PMM/PGM has been isolated from many microorganisms. By performing similarity searches using existing PMM/PGM sequences, the homologous ORFs PH0923 and PH1210 were identified from the genomic data of Pyrococcus horikoshii OT3. Since PH0923 appears to be part of an operon consisting of four carbohydrate metabolic enzymes, PH0923 was selected as the first target for the investigation of PMM/PGM activity in P. horikoshii OT3. The coding region of PH0923 was cloned and the purified recombinant protein was utilized for an examination of its biochemical properties. The enzyme retained half its initial activity after treatment at 95 degrees C for 90 min. Detailed analyses of activities showed that this protein is capable of utilizing a variety of metal ions that are not utilized by previously characterized PMM/PGM proteins. A mutated protein with an alanine residue replacing the active site serine residue indicated that this residue plays an important but non-essential role in PMM/PGM activity.

The enzyme phosphomannomutase/phosphoglucomutase (PMM/PGM) from Pseudomonas aeruginosa catalyzes the reversible conversion of 1-phospho to 6-phospho-sugars. The reaction entails two phosphoryl transfers, with an intervening 180 degrees reorientation of the reaction intermediate (e.g. glucose 1,6-bisphosphate) during catalysis. Reorientation of the intermediate occurs without dissociation from the active site of the enzyme and is, thus, a simple example of processivity, as defined by multiple rounds of catalysis without release of substrate. Structural characterization of two PMM/PGM-intermediate complexes with glucose 1,6-bisphosphate provides new insights into the reaction catalyzed by the enzyme, including the reorientation of the intermediate. Kinetic analyses of site-directed mutants prompted by the structural studies reveal active site residues critical for maintaining association with glucose 1,6-bisphosphate during its unique dynamic reorientation in the active site of PMM/PGM.
