    Abstract This study explores ligand-driven conformational changes in adenylate kinase (AK), which is known for its open-to-close conformational transitions upon ligand binding and release. By utilizing string free energy simulations, we determine the free energy profiles for both enzyme opening and ligand release and compare them with profiles from the apoenzyme. Results reveal a three-step ligand release process, which initiates with the opening of the adenosine triphosphate-binding subdomain (ATP lid), followed by ligand release and concomitant opening of the adenosine monophosphate-binding subdomain (AMP lid). The ligands then transition to nonspecific positions before complete dissociation. In these processes, the first step is energetically driven by ATP lid opening, whereas the second step is driven by ATP release. In contrast, the AMP lid opening and its ligand release make minor contributions to the total free energy for enzyme opening. Regarding the ligand binding mechanism, our results suggest that AMP lid closure occurs via an induced-fit mechanism triggered by AMP binding, whereas ATP lid closure follows conformational selection. This difference in the closure mechanisms provides an explanation with implications for the debate on ligand-driven conformational changes of AK. Additionally, we determine an X-ray structure of an AK variant that exhibits significant rearrangements in the stacking of catalytic arginines, explaining its reduced catalytic activity. In the context of apoenzyme opening, the sequence of events is different. Here, the AMP lid opens first while the ATP lid remains closed, and the free energy associated with ATP lid opening varies with orientation, aligning with the reported AK opening and closing rate heterogeneity. Finally, this study, in conjunction with our previous research, provides a comprehensive view of the intricate interplay between various structural elements, ligands, and catalytic residues that collectively contribute to the robust catalytic power of the enzyme.

    Abstract Enzymes employ a wide range of protein motions to achieve efficient catalysis of chemical reactions. While the role of collective protein motions in substrate binding, product release, and regulation of enzymatic activity is generally understood, their roles in catalytic steps per se remain uncertain. Here, molecular dynamics simulations, enzyme kinetics, X-ray crystallography, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy are combined to elucidate the catalytic mechanism of adenylate kinase and to delineate the roles of catalytic residues in catalysis and the conformational change in the enzyme. This study reveals that the motions in the active site, which occur on a time scale of picoseconds to nanoseconds, link the catalytic reaction to the slow conformational dynamics of the enzyme by modulating the free energy landscapes of subdomain motions. In particular, substantial conformational rearrangement occurs in the active site following the catalytic reaction. This rearrangement not only affects the reaction barrier but also promotes a more open conformation of the enzyme after the reaction, which then results in an accelerated opening of the enzyme compared to that of the reactant state. The results illustrate a linkage between enzymatic catalysis and collective protein motions, whereby the disparate time scales between the two processes are bridged by a cascade of intermediate-scale motion of catalytic residues modulating the free energy landscapes of the catalytic and conformational change processes.

    Abstract We report the synthesis of 6-arylthio-substituted-N-alkenyl 2-pyridones by ring opening of bicyclic thiazolino-2-pyridones with arynes. Varied functionalization was used to investigate scope and substituent influences on reactivity. Selected conditions favor thioether ring opening over [4 + 2] cycloaddition and an unusual aryne incorporating ring expansion. Deuterium labeling was used to clarify observed reactivity. Using the knowledge, we produced drug-like molecules with complex substitution patterns and show how thioether ring opening can be used on scaffolds with competing reactivities.

    Abstract Enzymatic catalysis is critically dependent on selectivity, active site architecture, and dynamics. To contribute insights into the interplay of these properties, we established an approach with NMR, crystallography, and MD simulations focused on the ubiquitous phosphotransferase adenylate kinase (AK) isolated from Odinarchaeota (OdinAK). Odinarchaeota belongs to the Asgard archaeal phylum that is believed to be the closest known ancestor to eukaryotes. We show that OdinAK is a hyperthermophilic trimer that, contrary to other AK family members, can use all NTPs for its phosphorylation reaction. Crystallographic structures of OdinAK-NTP complexes revealed a universal NTP-binding motif, while <sup>19</sup>F NMR experiments uncovered a conserved and rate-limiting dynamic signature. As a consequence of trimerization, the active site of OdinAK was found to be lacking a critical catalytic residue and is therefore considered to be "atypical." On the basis of discovered relationships with human monomeric homologs, our findings are discussed in terms of evolution of enzymatic substrate specificity and cold adaptation.

    Abstract Enzymatic substrate selectivity is critical for the precise control of metabolic pathways. In cases where chemically related substrates are present inside cells, robust mechanisms of substrate selectivity are required. Here, we report the mechanism utilized for catalytic ATP versus GTP selectivity during adenylate kinase (Adk) -mediated phosphorylation of AMP. Using NMR spectroscopy we found that while Adk adopts a catalytically competent and closed structural state in complex with ATP, the enzyme is arrested in a catalytically inhibited and open state in complex with GTP. X-ray crystallography experiments revealed that the interaction interfaces supporting ATP and GTP recognition, in part, are mediated by coinciding residues. The mechanism provides an atomic view on how the cellular GTP pool is protected from Adk turnover, which is important because GTP has many specialized cellular functions. In further support of this mechanism, a structure-function analysis enabled by synthesis of ATP analogs suggests that a hydrogen bond between the adenine moiety and the backbone of the enzyme is vital for ATP selectivity. The importance of the hydrogen bond for substrate selectivity is likely general given the conservation of its location and orientation across the family of eukaryotic protein kinases.

    Abstract Proteins can bind target molecules through either induced fit or conformational selection pathways. In the conformational selection model, a protein samples a scarcely populated high-energy state that resembles a target-bound conformation. In enzymatic catalysis, such high-energy states have been identified as crucial entities for activity and the dynamic interconversion between ground states and high-energy states can constitute the rate-limiting step for catalytic turnover. The transient nature of these states has precluded direct observation of their properties. Here, we present a molecular description of a high-energy enzyme state in a conformational selection pathway by an experimental strategy centered on NMR spectroscopy, protein engineering, and X-ray crystallography. Through the introduction of a disulfide bond, we succeeded in arresting the enzyme adenylate kinase in a closed high-energy conformation that is on-pathway for catalysis. A 1.9-Å X-ray structure of the arrested enzyme in complex with a transition state analog shows that catalytic sidechains are properly aligned for catalysis. We discovered that the structural sampling of the substrate free enzyme corresponds to the complete amplitude that is associated with formation of the closed and catalytically active state. In addition, we found that the trapped high-energy state displayed improved ligand binding affinity, compared with the wild-type enzyme, demonstrating that substrate binding to the high-energy state is not occluded by steric hindrance. Finally, we show that quenching of fast time scale motions observed upon ligand binding to adenylate kinase is dominated by enzyme-substrate interactions and not by intramolecular interactions resulting from the conformational change.
