The bacterium Pseudomonas sp. AP-3 is able to use the environmental pollutant 2-aminophenol as its sole source of carbon, nitrogen, and energy. Eight genes (amnA, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H) encoding 2-aminophenol metabolizing enzymes are clustered into a single operon. 2-aminomuconic 6-semialdehyde dehydrogenase (AmnC), a member of the aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) superfamily, is responsible for oxidizing 2-aminomuconic 6-semialdehyde to 2-aminomuconate. In contrast to many other members of the ALDH superfamily, the structural basis of the catalytic activity of AmnC remains elusive. Here, we present the crystal structure of AmnC, which displays a homotetrameric quaternary assembly that is directly involved in its enzymatic activity. The tetrameric state of AmnC in solution was also presented using small-angle X-ray scattering. The tetramerization of AmnC is mediated by the assembly of a protruding hydrophobic beta-strand motif and residues V121 and S123 located in the NAD+-binding domain of each subunit. Dimeric mutants of AmnC dramatically lose NAD+ binding affinity and enzyme activity, indicating that tetrameric assembly of AmnC is required for oxidizing the unstable metabolic intermediate 2-aminomuconic 6-semialdehyde to 2-aminomuconic acid in the 2-aminophenol metabolism pathway.
