ABSTRACT
Sedoheptulose 7-phosphate (SH7P) cyclases are a subset of sugar phosphate cyclases that are known to catalyze the first committed step in many biosynthetic pathways in primary and secondary metabolism. Among them are 2-epi-5-epi-valiolone synthase (EEVS) and 2-epi-valiolone synthase (EVS), two closely related SH7P cyclases that catalyze the conversion of SH7P to 2-epi-5-epi-valiolone and 2-epi-valiolone, respectively. However, how these two homologous enzymes use a common substrate to produce stereochemically different products is unknown. Two competing hypotheses have been proposed for the stereospecificity of EEVS and EVS (1) variation in aldol acceptor geometry during enzyme catalysis, and (2) preselection of the α-pyranose or ß-pyranose forms of the substrate by the enzymes. Yet, there is no direct evidence to support or rule out either of these hypotheses. Here we report the synthesis of the carba-analogs of the α-pyranose and ß-pyranose forms of SH7P and their use in probing the stereospecificity of ValA (EEVS from Streptomyces hygroscopicus subsp. jinggangensis) and Amir_2000 (EVS from Actinosynnema mirum DSM 43827). Kinetic studies of the enzymes in the presence of the synthetic compounds as well as docking studies of the enzymes with the α- and ß-pyranose forms of SH7P suggest that the inverted configuration of the products of EEVS and EVS is not due to the preselection of the different forms of the substrate by the enzymes.
