One of the enzymes Vanillyl-alcohol oxidase (VAO) has a solved structure, the alignment includes the FAD binding site, called the PP-loop, between residues 99-110 [1]. The FAD molecule is covalently bound in the known structure, however the residue that links to the FAD is not in the alignment. VAO catalyses the oxidation of a wide variety of substrates, ranging form aromatic amines to 4-alkylphenols. Other members of this family include D-lactate dehydrogenase, this enzyme catalyses the conversion of D-lactate to pyruvate using FAD as a co-factor; mitomycin radical oxidase, this enzyme oxidises the reduced form of mitomycins and is involved in mitomycin resistance. This family includes MurB an UDP-N-acetylenolpyruvoylglucosamine reductase enzyme EC:1.1.1.158. This enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of peptidoglycan [2].

UDP-N-acetylenolpyruvylglucosamine reductase (MurB)  M-CSA #353

UDP-N-acetylenolpyruvylglucosamine reductase (MurB) reduces both E and Z isomers of enolbutyryl-UDP-GlcBAc analogs of the C3 enolpyruvate substate to UDP-methyl-N-acetylmuramic acid in the presence of NADPH. The overall product of this metabolic pathway, petidoglycan, is a biopolymer unique to Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria for which is essential for maintaining osmotic cell wall integrity. The absence of a homologue in eukaryotic cells makes MurB an attractive target for small molecule inhibitors with the potential to have broad antibacterial activity.

The ability of MurB to catalyse the stereo-selective reduction of both E and Z isomers of the substrate is thought to result from the active site architecture restricting free rotation around the C2-C3 bond, and slowing the rate relative to reprotonation. Structural data show the functional groups thought to be involved in the hydride transfer to C3 and protonation at C2 of the enol-ether substrate are arranged anti relative to the enol-double bond. From this information, the stereochemical outcome was predicted to yield a 2R,3R-dideuterio product. This product was later identified using chemical synthetic analysis and comparative NMR.
