Abstract
3-Methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase (MCC), a member of the biotin-dependent carboxylase superfamily, is essential for the metabolism of leucine, and deficient mutations in this enzyme are linked to methylcrotonylglycinuria (MCG) and other serious diseases in humans1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8. MCC has strong sequence conservation with propionyl-CoA carboxylase (PCC), and their holoenzymes are both 750-kilodalton (kDa) α6β6 dodecamers. Therefore the architecture of the MCC holoenzyme is expected to be highly similar to that of PCC9. Here we report the crystal structures of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa MCC (PaMCC) holoenzyme, alone and in complex with coenzyme A. Surprisingly, the structures show that the architecture and overall shape of PaMCC are markedly different when compared to PCC. The α-subunits show trimeric association in the PaMCC holoenzyme, whereas they have no contacts with each other in PCC. Moreover, the positions of the two domains in the β-subunit of PaMCC are swapped relative to those in PCC. This structural information establishes a foundation for understanding the disease-causing mutations of MCC and provides new insights into the catalytic mechanism and evolution of biotin-dependent carboxylases. The large structural differences between MCC and PCC also have general implications for the relationship between sequence conservation and structural similarity.

Main
The α- and β-subunits of human MCC have 42% and 34% sequence identity with those of human PCC (Supplementary Figs 1 and 2). The α-subunit contains the biotin carboxylase (BC) and biotin carboxyl carrier protein (BCCP) domains (Fig. 1a), and a domain that mediates BC–CT interactions (BT domain)9. BC catalyses the MgATP-dependent carboxylation of biotin, and then a carboxyltransferase activity, supplied by the β-subunit, catalyses the transfer of the carboxyl group to the acceptor. The β-subunit contains two domains (Fig. 1a), N and C domains, with the same backbone fold, and its active site is located at the interface of a dimer.
Our initial interest in MCC stemmed from its distinct site of carboxylation in the substrate (Fig. 1b). To understand the molecular basis for this activity, we produced crystals of the MCCβ hexamer from P. aeruginosa (PaMCCβ) that diffracted to 1.5-Å resolution (Supplementary Table 1). This bacterial enzyme is highly homologous to human MCC, with sequence identities of 47% and 65% for the α- and β-subunits, respectively. To facilitate comparisons between these highly conserved enzymes, we numbered the residues in PaMCC according to their equivalents in human MCC. In Pseudomonas organisms, MCC is also involved in terpenoid metabolism10,11.
We solved the structure of PaMCCβ using Roseobacter denitrificans PCCβ as the model9. However, subsequent crystallographic analysis revealed that the positions of the N and C domains in PaMCCβ (Fig. 1c) are swapped relative to those in PCCβ (Fig. 1d), even though the overall shapes of the two β6 hexamers are similar. This distinct domain organization of PaMCCβ is primarily due to a different connectivity between its N and C domains, rather than a swap of these two domains in the primary sequence (Supplementary Fig. 3 and Supplementary Text). This also leads to a large difference in the organization of the PaMCCβ dimer compared to PCCβ (Fig. 1e, f). The closest structural homologue of PaMCCβ is the α-subunit of glutaconyl-CoA decarboxylase (GCDα)12,13 (Supplementary Fig. 4). However, the sequence conservation between PaMCCβ and GCDα (27% identity) is actually lower than that between PaMCCβ and PCCβ (34% identity). The CoA binding sites, located in the N domain, are swapped between MCCβ and PCCβ as well (Fig. 1e, f). This may be related to the activity of MCC on the γ carbon of the substrate (Fig. 1b), as the activity of GCDα is also on the γ carbon (Supplementary Text).
Most importantly, the change in domain organization of MCCβ suggests that the overall architecture of the MCC holoenzyme may be different as well (Supplementary Text). Therefore, we next determined the structures of PaMCC free enzyme and CoA complex at 2.9- and 3.5-Å resolution, respectively (Fig. 2a and Supplementary Table 1). Like PCC, the holoenzyme of PaMCC contains a central β6 cylindrical core, with three α-subunits at each end (Fig. 2b). The overall structures of the free enzyme and CoA complex of PaMCC are similar, although there are also recognizable differences (Supplementary Fig. 5 and Supplementary Text).
Notably, the positions of the α-subunits in PaMCC, especially their BC domains, are entirely different from those in PCC (Fig. 2c). Rather than being splayed far apart from each other as in PCC (Fig. 2d), the three BC domains on either end of MCC are in direct contact with each other (Fig. 2b), burying 640 Å2 of the surface area of each BC domain. Therefore, the BC domain shows trimeric association in the MCC holoenzyme, although this trimer is probably unstable on its own due to the relatively small buried surface area. Overall, the MCC holoenzyme has the shape of a cylinder, approximately 100 Å in diameter and 200 Å tall, and this shape is remarkably different from that of PCC (Supplementary Fig. 6)9.
As an independent verification for the crystal structure of PaMCC, we carried out electron microscopy studies on this holoenzyme and produced a reconstruction at 12-Å resolution (Supplementary Text and Supplementary Figs 7 and 8). The crystal structure and the electron microscopy density are in excellent agreement with each other (Fig. 2e, f), confirming the large structural differences between the MCC and PCC holoenzymes.
Interactions between the α- and β-subunits in PaMCC are mediated predominantly by the BT domain, and by the BCCP domain when it is in the active site of the β-subunit for catalysis (see later). Approximately 3,000 Å2 of the surface area of each α-subunit is buried in the interface of the holoenzyme. The BT domain buries 1,500 Å2 in the interface with the β-subunit, as well as 200 Å2 in a contact with the BC domain of a neighbouring α-subunit (see later). The BCCP domain in the active site of the β-subunit contributes 700 Å2 to the surface area burial, primarily through residues around the biotinylated Lys 681 residue (Supplementary Fig. 1).
The BT domain in PaMCC contains a central α-helix surrounded by a seven-stranded, highly twisted anti-parallel β-sheet (Fig. 3a and Supplementary Fig. 9). The overall structure of this domain is similar to that in PCC, with a root mean squared distance (r.m.s.d.) of 1.8 Å for their equivalent Cα atoms. In addition, sequence comparisons suggest that the BT domain of human MCC and most other MCCs may have an eight-stranded β-barrel, which would be equivalent to that in PCC (Fig. 3a and Supplementary Text).
However, the position of the BT domain relative to the β-subunit and its interactions in the PaMCC holoenzyme are different compared to PCC (Fig. 3b and Supplementary Figs 10 and 11). The hook of the BT domain9, connecting the central helix to the first β-strand, is crucial for interactions with the β-subunit but has a markedly different conformation in PaMCC (Fig. 3a). The hook interacts with both the N and C domains of the β-subunit in PaMCC, and residues 542–544 in the hook form a parallel β-sheet with strand β1 (residues 95–100) in the N domain of the β-subunit (Fig. 3c and Supplementary Fig. 10 and Supplementary Text). Consistent with these observations, we found that structure-based mutations in the hook could destabilize the PaMCC holoenzyme (Supplementary Fig. 12).
In addition to the hook, there is direct contact between the BT domain of one α-subunit and the BC domain of a neighbouring α-subunit, where residues 604–608 (strand β27 of the BT domain) form an anti-parallel β-sheet with strand β3 of the BC domain (Fig. 3b and Supplementary Text).
Overall, the unique interactions for the BT domain and the trimeric association of the BC domain in the MCC holoenzyme suggest that PCC cannot form a similar architecture, and therefore it is unlikely that the observed structural differences between MCC and PCC represent different stages of catalysis for these enzymes.
The distance between the active sites of BC and CT is approximately 80 Å in MCC (Fig. 4a). Therefore, the entire BCCP domain must translocate during MCC catalysis, as is the case with PCC9 and pyruvate carboxylase (PC)14,15,16,17. On the other hand, MCC is distinct from PCC in that although the BT domain of an α-subunit contacts its closest β-subunit, its BCCP domain is actually located in the active site of a neighbouring β-subunit (Fig. 4a), another consequence of the swapping of the N and C domains in the β-subunit of MCC.
We observed the binding of both CoA and BCCP-biotin to the active site of one of the β-subunits (Fig. 4a and Supplementary Fig. 13), and built a model for the bound conformation of methylcrotonyl-CoA (Fig. 4b and Supplementary Fig. 14 and Supplementary Text). The binding modes are consistent with the expected kinetic mechanism of the CT reaction18. The N1′ atom of biotin is ∼6 Å from the reactive γ carbon of methylcrotonyl-CoA in this model (Supplementary Fig. 14). There is a large conformational change for two helices in the active site upon CoA binding (Supplementary Fig. 15 and Supplementary Text).
The structure of PaMCC provides a foundation for understanding the molecular basis of its disease-causing mutations in human MCC, which represent one of the most frequently observed inborn errors of metabolism1,2,3,4,19,20,21. The missense mutations are distributed throughout the holoenzyme (Fig. 4c), but their effects can be interpreted based on the structure (Supplementary Text and Supplementary Table 2). Many of the mutations are located in or near the BC or CT active site (for example R385S in the α-subunit, A218T and V375F in the β subunit; Fig. 4b and Supplementary Figs 14, 16, 17). The V375F mutation may block the binding of BCCP to the active site of the β-subunit (Supplementary Fig. 17). A group of mutations are located in or near the subunit interface in the holoenzyme, such as S535F in the hook of the BT domain (Fig. 3c). Additional mutations are located in the hydrophobic core of the structure, and may disrupt folding and/or stability of the enzyme.
Our structure of the PaMCC holoenzyme also has implications for the evolution of biotin-dependent carboxylases. The structural differences between MCC and PCC suggest that there may be two separate lineages of such enzymes that carboxylate CoA esters of organic acids. One lineage includes PCC and acetyl-CoA carboxylase, which carboxylates the α carbon of the acid. The other lineage targets the γ carbon of an α-β unsaturated acid and includes MCC, GCDα and possibly also geranyl-CoA carboxylase (Supplementary Fig. 18)10,11.
More importantly, the structures of MCC and PCC show that their strong sequence conservation only ensures that the backbone folds of the domains in the two enzymes are the same. On the other hand, the organization of these domains in the individual subunits and especially the architecture of the subunits in the holoenzymes are remarkably different. These observations may also have wide-ranging implications for the relationship between sequence conservation and structural similarity in general.
Methods Summary
Crystallography
The α- and β-subunits of PaMCC were co-expressed in E. coli, with a His-tag on the β-subunit. The PaMCC holoenzyme was purified by nickel affinity and gel filtration chromatography. Crystals were obtained by the microbatch method under oil, and the structures were determined by the molecular replacement method.
Electron microscopy
The PaMCC sample was stained with uranyl acetate and electron micrographs were recorded at ×70,000 magnification in a 200 kV electron microscope. A 12-Å-resolution three-dimensional reconstruction was obtained from ∼12,000 particle images.
Mutagenesis and kinetic studies
Site-specific mutants were designed based on the structural information, and their effects on the formation of the holoenzyme were assessed by nickel affinity chromatography. The catalytic activity of PaMCC was determined by a coupled enzyme assay, monitoring the hydrolysis of ATP.
Online Methods
Protein expression and purification
Full-length PaMCCβ was subcloned into the pET28a vector (Novagen). The expression construct contained an N-terminal hexa-histidine tag, which was not removed for crystallization. The native protein was overexpressed overnight in E. coli BL21 Rosetta (DE3) cells (Novagen) at 20 °C in the presence of 1 mM isopropyl-β-d-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) (Gold Biotechnology). The soluble protein was eluted from nickel affinity beads (Qiagen) and was further purified by gel filtration chromatography with a running buffer of 25 mM Tris (pH 7.4), 250 mM NaCl and 2 mM dithiothreitol. The purified protein was concentrated to 20 mg ml−1, supplemented with 5% (v/v) glycerol, flash-frozen with liquid nitrogen and then stored at −80 °C.
The PaMCC holoenzyme was overexpressed using a bi-cistronic plasmid, with PaMCCα (untagged) placed downstream of PaMCCβ in the pET28a vector, similar to the strategy used for the co-expression of the PCC holoenzyme9. The holoenzyme was purified following the same protocol as that for PaMCCβ.
Protein crystallization
Crystals were obtained with the microbatch under-oil (paraffin oil, Hampton Research) method at 20 °C. The protein was at 20 mg ml−1 concentration. For PaMCCβ, the precipitant solution contained 100 mM Tris (pH 8.5), 0.2 M (NH4)2HPO4 and 30% (v/v) PEG 200.
For the PaMCC holoenzyme, the protein was first incubated with 2 mM methylcrotonyl-CoA for 30 min on ice. The precipitant solution contained 20% (w/v) PEG 3350 and 0.2 M sodium malonate (pH 7.0) or 0.2 M Na2SO4. Crystals with the shape of thin plates appeared after 10–14 days and belonged to space group P21. Most of these crystals diffracted X-rays poorly. CoA was observed in the active site of the β-subunit based on the subsequent crystallographic analysis.
Under the same conditions, crystals with the shape of rhomboid blocks were observed after 6–8 weeks, after significant evaporation of the crystallization drops. These crystals belonged to space group R32, and showed better X-ray diffraction. They contained the free enzyme of PaMCC.
The crystals were flash-frozen in liquid nitrogen for diffraction analysis and data collection at 100 K.
Data collection and structure determination
X-ray diffraction data sets were collected on an ADSC Q315 CCD at the X29A beamline of the National Synchrontron Light Source (NSLS) at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The diffraction images were processed using the HKL package24. The data processing and refinement statistics are summarized in Supplementary Table 1.
Crystals of PaMCCβ contained one β-subunit in the asymmetric unit. The structure was determined by the molecular replacement method with the program Phaser25, using the structure of PCCβ as the model9. Structure refinement was carried out with the programs CNS26 and Refmac27, and programs O28 and Coot29 were used for manual model rebuilding. Water molecules were located automatically with the program CNS.
Crystals of the CoA complex of PaMCC holoenzyme contained one dodecamer in the asymmetric unit. The structure was determined by the molecular replacement method with the program Phaser, using the structure of the PaMCCβ hexamer and the BC domain of PCCα (ref. 9) as the models. One copy of the BCCP domain was also located, using the BCCP domain of PCC as the model. However, molecular replacement calculations with the BT domain of PCC were not successful, and the BT domain model was built based on the (omit) electron density after structure refinement.
Crystals of the free enzyme of PaMCC contained one αβ protomer in the asymmetric unit. The structure was determined by the molecular replacement method, using the structure of one αβ protomer of PaMCC CoA complex as the model. No water molecules were included in the atomic models of the holoenzyme owing to the limited resolution.
Electron microscopy
The PaMCC sample was diluted to appropriate concentrations for electron microscopy with a buffer containing 25 mM Tris (pH 7.4) and 250 mM NaCl. An aliquot of 2.5 μl of each of the diluted samples was placed onto a carbon-film-coated, glow-discharged 300-mesh copper grid. Excess sample was blotted away by filter paper after one minute. The sample was immediately stained with 2% uranyl acetate solution and air dried. Electron micrographs were recorded in an FEI TF20 electron microscope (operated at 200 kV) on a TVIPS 16-megapixel CCD camera at ×70,000 magnification. The sample with optimal particle concentration as shown in Supplementary Fig. 6 was used for extended imaging and in-depth three-dimensional reconstruction analysis.
First, we picked 500 particles manually from 5 CCD images with the EMAN boxer program and obtained a preliminary reconstruction to 22-Å resolution with EMAN30. Approximately 20,000 particles were subsequently picked automatically from 30 CCD images with SIGNATURE31, using the previous 22 Å structure as reference. D3 symmetry was imposed during refinement and three-dimensional reconstruction. Approximately 12,000 particles were selected for the final three-dimensional reconstruction. The resolution of the final three-dimensional reconstruction was assessed to be 12 Å based on the 0.5 cut-off in the Fourier shell correlation between three-dimensional reconstructions from the two half sets of the whole data set (Supplementary Fig. 7). The UCSF Chimera program was used to create three-dimensional graphical representations22. The atomic model of MCC was fitted to the density map using the ‘fit-model-to-map’ module of Chimera.
Mutagenesis and kinetic studies
Site-specific mutations were introduced with the QuikChange kit (Agilent) and sequenced for confirmation. The mutant plasmids were transformed into E. coli, and the formation of the PaMCC holoenzyme was assessed by nickel affinity chromatography.
The catalytic activity of PaMCC was determined using a coupled enzyme assay, converting the hydrolysis of ATP to the disappearance of NADH32,33. The reaction mixture contained 100 mM HEPES (pH 8.0), 0.5 mM ATP, 8 mM MgCl2, 40 mM NaHCO3, 0.5 mM methylcrotonyl-CoA or crotonyl-CoA, 0.2 mM NADH, 0.5 mM phosphoenolpyruvate, 7 units of lactate dehydrogenase, 4.2 units of pyruvate kinase and 200 mM NaCl. The absorbance at 340 nm was monitored for 5 min.
