Crystal structure of the reduced form of homoserine dehydrogenase from Sulfolobus tokodaii.
Structural highlights
FunctionDHOM_SULTO Catalyzes the conversion of L-aspartate-beta-semialdehyde (L-Asa) to L-homoserine (L-Hse), the third step in the biosynthesis of threonine and methionine from aspartate.[1] [2] [3] Publication Abstract from PubMedHomoserine dehydrogenase (HSD; 305 amino acid residues) catalyzes an NAD(P)-dependent reversible reaction between l-homoserine and aspartate 4-semialdehyde and is involved in the aspartate pathway. HSD from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Sulfolobus tokodaii was markedly activated (2.5-fold) by the addition of 0.8 mM dithiothreitol. The crystal structure of the homodimer indicated that the activation was caused by cleavage of the disulfide bond formed between two cysteine residues (C303) in the C-terminal regions of the two subunits.
