Abstract
The crystal structure of Escherichia coli 3‘-phosphoadenosine-5‘-phosphosulfate (PAPS) reductase in complex with E. coli thioredoxin 1 (Trx1) has been determined to 3.0 Å resolution. The two proteins are covalently linked via a mixed disulfide that forms during nucleophilic attack of Trx's N-terminal cysteine on the Sγ atom of the PAPS reductase S-sulfocysteine (E-Cys-Sγ-SO_3^-), a central intermediate in the catalytic cycle. For the first time in a crystal structure, residues 235−244 in the PAPS reductase C-terminus are observed, depicting an array of interprotein salt bridges between Trx and the strictly conserved glutathione-like sequence, Glu^(238)Cys^(239)Gly^(240)Leu^(241)His^(242). The structure also reveals a Trx-binding surface adjacent to the active site cleft and regions of PAPS reductase associated with conformational change. Interaction at this site strategically positions Trx to bind the S-sulfated C-terminus and addresses the mechanism for requisite structural rearrangement of this domain. An apparent sulfite-binding pocket at the protein−protein interface explicitly orients the S-sulfocysteine Sγ atom for nucleophilic attack in a subsequent step. Taken together, the structure of PAPS reductase in complex with Trx highlights the large structural rearrangement required to accomplish sulfonucleotide reduction and suggests a role for Trx in catalysis beyond the paradigm of disulfide reduction.
