Structural study on human microbiome-derived polyketide synthases that assemble genotoxic colibactin
Colibactin, a human microbiome-derived genotoxin, promotes colorectal cancer by damaging the host gut epithelial genomes. While colibactin is synthesized via a hybrid non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS)-polyketide synthase (PKS) pathway, known as pks or clb, the structural details of its biosynthetic enzymes remain limited, hindering our understanding of its biosynthesis and clinical application. In this study, we report the cryo-EM structures of two colibactin-producing PKS enzymes, ClbC and ClbI, captured in different reaction states using a substrate-mimic crosslinker. Our structural analysis revealed the binding sites of carrier protein (CP) domains of the ClbC and ClbI on their ketosynthase (KS) domains. Further, we identified a novel NRPS-PKS docking interaction between ClbI and its upstream enzyme, ClbH, mediated by the C-terminal peptide ClbH and the dimeric interface of ClbI, establishing a 1:2 stoichiometry. These findings advance our understanding of colibactin assembly line and provide broader insights into NRPS-PKS natural product biosynthesis mechanisms.
期刊介绍:
Structure aims to publish papers of exceptional interest in the field of structural biology. The journal strives to be essential reading for structural biologists, as well as biologists and biochemists that are interested in macromolecular structure and function. Structure strongly encourages the submission of manuscripts that present structural and molecular insights into biological function and mechanism. Other reports that address fundamental questions in structural biology, such as structure-based examinations of protein evolution, folding, and/or design, will also be considered. We will consider the application of any method, experimental or computational, at high or low resolution, to conduct structural investigations, as long as the method is appropriate for the biological, functional, and mechanistic question(s) being addressed. Likewise, reports describing single-molecule analysis of biological mechanisms are welcome.
In general, the editors encourage submission of experimental structural studies that are enriched by an analysis of structure-activity relationships and will not consider studies that solely report structural information unless the structure or analysis is of exceptional and broad interest. Studies reporting only homology models, de novo models, or molecular dynamics simulations are also discouraged unless the models are informed by or validated by novel experimental data; rationalization of a large body of existing experimental evidence and making testable predictions based on a model or simulation is often not considered sufficient.
