The EC ClassificationThe EC Classification

Reaction direction arbitrary

Cofactors and active site residues ignored

Doesn’t deal with structural and sequence information

However, it was never intended to do so

Deals with overall reaction, not mechanism

Page 6: The Chemistry of Protein Catalysis John Mitchell University of St Andrews

A New Representation of Enzyme Reactions?

Should be complementary to, but distinct from, the EC system

Should take into account:

Reaction Mechanism

Structure

Sequence

Active Site residues

Cofactors Need a database of enzyme mechanisms

Difficulties of Hierarchical Classification

• Very similar mechanisms can end up in different first level classes.

• In the case of phosphoinositide-specific phospholipases C, this is due to a slow final hydrolysis step occurring in one of the two enzymes.

Difficulties of Hierarchical Classification

• Different mechanisms can occur with exactly the same EC number.

• MACiE has six beta-lactamases, all with different mechanisms but the same overall reaction.

Repertoire of Enzyme Catalysis

We do see a few steps corresponding to well-known organic reactions; but these are the exception.

Page 30: The Chemistry of Protein Catalysis John Mitchell University of St Andrews

Repertoire of Enzyme Catalysis

Page 31: The Chemistry of Protein Catalysis John Mitchell University of St Andrews

We divide residue roles into three categories:

Reactant: Covalently involved in the reaction step,

Spectator: Stabilisation, activation, steric roles,

Interaction: Hydrogen bonding etc.

We use a combination of bioinformatics & chemoinformatics to identify similarities between enzyme-catalysed reaction mechanisms

Page 37: The Chemistry of Protein Catalysis John Mitchell University of St Andrews

Similarity of Overall Reactions: Compare Bond Changes

Page 38: The Chemistry of Protein Catalysis John Mitchell University of St Andrews

Just like sequence alignment!

We can measure their similarity …

Find only a few similar pairs

Check MACiE for duplicates!

Similarity of Analogous Reactions

• We take all possible pairs of analogous enzyme reactions from MACiE 2.3.9

• Analogous means that they carry out similar functions (EC 1.2.3.- conserved) ...

• ... and that the enzymes are not homologous

• We find 95 analogous pairs (convergent evolution).

Page 47: The Chemistry of Protein Catalysis John Mitchell University of St Andrews
Page 48: The Chemistry of Protein Catalysis John Mitchell University of St Andrews
Page 49: The Chemistry of Protein Catalysis John Mitchell University of St Andrews
Page 50: The Chemistry of Protein Catalysis John Mitchell University of St Andrews

43 out of 95 pairs that are analogous according to EC have no significant reaction or mechanistic similarity

Shared EC sub-subclass and Bond Change

based reaction similarity are quite different criteria.

Page 51: The Chemistry of Protein Catalysis John Mitchell University of St Andrews
Page 52: The Chemistry of Protein Catalysis John Mitchell University of St Andrews

One third of analogous pairs with significantly similar overall reactions have significantly similar mechanisms.

Page 53: The Chemistry of Protein Catalysis John Mitchell University of St Andrews
Page 54: The Chemistry of Protein Catalysis John Mitchell University of St Andrews

For analogous pairs, we find that mechanistic similarity is less than overall similarity (almost always); these lie in the lower triangle.

Page 55: The Chemistry of Protein Catalysis John Mitchell University of St Andrews

Conclusions for Analogous Enzymes

• Conservation of EC sub-subclass does not imply quantitative reaction similarity.

• One third of analogous pairs with significantly similar overall reactions have significantly similar mechanisms.

• Mechanistic similarity is less than overall similarity (unlike homologues).
