Abstract

Members of the Acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (ACADs) family of enzymes play a crucial role in cholesterol and steroid catabolism and are widely studied in the oldest known human pathogen, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). However, there is a paucity of information on ACADs involved in branched chain amino acid catabolism. Here we characterized one of the putative ACAD enzyme, fadE9, as ``Isobutyryl CoA Dehydrogenase (IBDH)'' using a combined computational and experimental approach, guided by homology modeled structural information, affirming its role in valine catabolism. Multiple sequence alignment and phylogenetic analysis place it in a separate cluster from a recently identified family of alpha(2)beta(2)-heterotetramer ACADs in Mtb, based on the position of the conserved Arg247 and catalytic Glu368 residues. The conserved Arg247 was predicted to play an essential role at the center of H-bonding network of reaction center and was confirmed by the reduced activity of R247K mutant Thus, in addition to the finding of an architecturally distinct alpha(2)beta(2)-heterotetramer among ACADs, these studies also highlight the differences between MtIBDH, fadE9 from the other ACADs that are involved in cholesterol and steroid catabolism of Mtb.
