Structural and Functional Characterization of a New Bacterial Dipeptidyl Peptidase III Involved in Fruiting Body Formation in Myxobacteria

Dipeptidyl peptidase III (DPP III) is a zinc-dependent enzyme that specifically hydrolyzes dipeptides from the N-terminal of different-length peptides, and it is involved in a number of physiological processes. Here, DPP III with an atypical pentapeptide zinc binding motif (HELMH) was identified fro...

description Dipeptidyl peptidase III (DPP III) is a zinc-dependent enzyme that specifically hydrolyzes dipeptides from the N-terminal of different-length peptides, and it is involved in a number of physiological processes. Here, DPP III with an atypical pentapeptide zinc binding motif (HELMH) was identified from Corallococcus sp. EGB. It was shown that the activity of recombined CoDPP III was optimal at 50 °C and pH 7.0 with high thermostability up to 60 °C. Unique to CoDPP III, the crystal structure of the ligand-free enzyme was determined as a dimeric and closed form. The relatively small inter-domain cleft creates a narrower entrance to the substrate binding site and the unfavorable binding of the bulky naphthalene ring. The ectopic expression of CoDPP III in M. xanthus DK1622 resulted in a 12 h head start in fruiting body development compared with the wild type. Additionally, the A-signal prepared from the starving DK1622-CoDPP III rescued the developmental defect of the asgA mutant, and the fruiting bodies were more numerous and closely packed. Our data suggested that CoDPP III played a role in the fruiting body development of myxobacteria through the accumulation of peptides and amino acids to act as the A-signal.
