CylK and related enzymes use alkyl chloride substrates as biosynthetic intermediates.

(A) The halogenase CylC generates an alkyl chloride substrate for CylK, which catalyzes two stepwise Friedel–Crafts alkylations to construct a paracyclophane macrocycle in cylindrocyclophane biosynthesis. This involves an intermolecular reaction between two resorcinol-containing alkyl chloride substrates (1) to generate intermediate (2), followed by an intramolecular alkylation to afford cylindrocyclophane F. (B) The related enzyme BrtB (30% amino acid identity, 46% similarity) catalyzes an analogous but chemically distinct C–O bond-forming event between chlorinated bartolosides and fatty acid nucleophiles.

The CylK X-ray crystal structure reveals a distinct arrangement of two protein domains.

(A) An overall view of the structure of CylK. In this image and throughout, calcium ions are shown as blue spheres, magnesium ions as dark gray spheres, and chloride ions as green spheres. The N-terminal domain is depicted as a light gray ribbon diagram, and the C-terminal domain is shown as a pink ribbon diagram. (B) The N-terminal domain contains a right-handed parallel β-roll stabilized by three Ca2+ ions. The structure is capped by a three-strand antiparallel β-sheet and buttressed by additional helical secondary structures. Insets show the Ca2+ ion coordination environment within the β-roll. (C) A top-down view of the seven-bladed β-propeller C-terminal domain. The propeller blades are numbered from the N-terminal end of the domain and colored by blade. The inset shows a representative view of the Ca2+ coordination environment. A similar binding site exists at each blade junction. (D) Cavity mapping analysis (Ho and Gruswitz, 2008) of CylK reveals two cavities large enough to accommodate the alkyl resorcinol substrates.

Topology diagram of the N-terminal CylK β-roll domain, residues 7–251.

Ca2+ ions are shown as blue circles, residues implicated in catalysis are highlighted in green ovals, Ca2+-coordinating residues are shown in black, and Ca2+-coordinating residues that follow canonical repeat-in-toxin (RTX) motifs are shown in blue italics.

Figure 2—figure supplement 2
Comparison of the N-terminal CylK β-roll domain to similar C-terminal repeat-in-toxin (RTX) domains in other enzymes.

(A) The N-terminal domain of CylK (residues 7–251). (B) The C-terminal region of RTX-motif enzyme psychrophilic alkaline metalloprotease (PAP) that structurally aligns with the β-roll of CylK (residues 326–461) (PDB ID 1OMJ). (C) Some CylK Ca2+-coordinating loops (yellow, residues 131–152) extend beyond the tight RTX-motif turn (green, PAP residues 330–335, 348–353, and 366–371). (D) The Ca2+-binding β-roll motif in PAP is located far away from the active site of the enzyme (box) and is likely not involved in catalysis (Ravaud et al., 2003). In all panels, Ca2+ ions are represented as blue spheres. Mg2+ (CylK) and Zn2+ (PAP) ions are shown as gray spheres.

Topological and structural features of the C-terminal CylK β-propeller domain.

(A) Top-down view of the C-terminal β-propeller domain (residues 252–662). (B) Topology diagrams of the CylK β-propeller domain. Blades are colored as in (A), Ca2+ ions shown as blue circles. Residues implicated in catalysis are shown in green. (C) Example of a propeller blade (left) and the orientation of the blade within the β-propeller fold (right). β-strands within each blade are lettered A–D, with A corresponding to the innermost strand, closest to the central tunnel. Loops are labeled to indicate the strands they connect. For example, loop BC connects blade B and C within the blade while loop DA connects strand D of one blade to strand A of the next blade.

The walls of this cavity contain (A) charged (red/blue) and polar (purple) residues and (B) hydrophobic patches (red), ideal for interaction with the amphipathic resorcinol.

Figure 2—figure supplement 6
A comparison of the overall structures of CylK and selected seven-bladed β-propeller enzymes.

(A) CylK is a fusion of a Ca2+-binding β-roll fold and a β-propeller with the active site located at the domain interface. (B) Virginiamycin B lyase (VrgB) is a single-domain enzyme in which the active site is located on the top face of the propeller. Quinupristin substrate analog shown as green sticks (PDB ID 2Z2P). (C) The extended loops of carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase (CCD) form a helical domain on the top face of the propeller, oriented similarly to the N-terminal domain of CylK. The active site, delineated by the location of the iron cofactor (orange sphere), is located at the interface of these two domains (PDB ID 3NPE). (D) Dimeric nitrous oxide reductase (NOR) contains an active site at the interface between a C-terminal cupredoxin electron transfer domain (CuA) contributed by the other monomer and the β-propeller catalytic domain (inset) (PDB ID 3SBR). Unless otherwise noted, ions are shown as spheres and colored as in Figure 2—figure supplement 2.

(C) 1,2-Dichloroethane (DCE) substrate bound in the active side of wild-type haloalkane dehalogenase (PDB ID 2DHC). The alkyl chloride forms apparent polar interactions with Trp 125, 175, and the backbone amide of Pro 223; and nonpolar interactions with Phe 172 and Val 226. Asp 124 is the nucleophilic residue that displaces chloride. (D) Bromide ion product analog bound in the active site of CylK. The Br- ion forms polar interactions with Arg 105 and Tyr 473; and nonpolar interactions with Thr 84 and Phe 499. Select amino acid residues are represented in stick format, bromide ions are shown as teal spheres, calcium ions are shown as blue spheres, alkyl chloride in green, and alkyl fluoride in light aqua.

Maximum-likelihood phylogenetic tree of protein sequences homologous to CylK and BrtB that contain both N- and C-terminal domains (>24% amino acid identity), highlighting the key conserved catalytic residues, clustered halogenases, and associated monoalkylresorcinol-forming enzymes. Dialkylresorcinol-forming enzymes (DarA/B-like) were not found except as expected with BrtB and the bartoloside-producing cluster, indicated as an unfilled green circle. Bootstrap values are shaded based on the legend. Natural products associated with select CylK homologs are displayed; the bonds highlighted in blue are constructed by their respective CylK.

Conservation mapping analysis of functionally annotated CylK homologs.

Representations of sequence conservation generated in ConSurf (Ashkenazy et al., 2016) using a subset of cyanobacterial CylK homologs that have R105 and Y473 (48 unique sequences). Of those homologous enzymes, 37 contain a partner CylC halogenase in the genome of the encoding organism (~80% are co-localized with CylK). (A) The halide-binding pocket in CylK homologs with R105 and Y473. (B) Residues surrounding Br1 are generally conserved in this subset, while Leu 438, Glu 374, and other active site residues are not highly conserved, potentially suggesting a diversity of substrates used by these candidate enzymes. Residues surrounding Br2 are variable. (C) Ribbon and surface diagrams of overall sequence conservation in this subset of homologs. Selected amino acid residues are represented in stick format, bromide ions are shown as teal spheres, and calcium ions are shown as blue spheres. Arrow denotes the opening of the interdomain cavity proposed to contain the active site of CylK.
