[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/AATM_CHICK AATM_CHICK]] Catalyzes the irreversible transamination of the L-tryptophan metabolite L-kynurenine to form kynurenic acid (KA). Plays a key role in amino acid metabolism. Important for metabolite exchange between mitochondria and cytosol. May facilitate cellular uptake of long-chain free fatty acids (By similarity).

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==

The crystal structure of mitochondrial aspartate aminotransferase (mAAT) of chicken complexed with erythro-beta-hydroxyaspartate has been determined at 2.4 A resolution. Pregrown crystals of mAAT complexed with the inhibitor maleate (closed enzyme conformation, orthorhombic space group C222(1)) were soaked in solutions of erythro-beta-hydroxyaspartate. The ligand exchange was monitored by microspectrophotometry. The active site turned out to be predominantly occupied by the carbinolamine intermediate. The carbinolamine is a true intermediate of the catalytic cycle forming the last covalently bound enzyme:substrate complex before release of the keto acid product. Occupancies of approximately 80% for the carbinolamine and of approximately 20% for the quinonoid intermediate were obtained. Two hydrogen bonds were identified that are potentially relevant for the accumulation of the carbinolamine intermediate: one to the hydroxyl group of Tyr 70* and the other to the epsilon-NH2 group of Lys 258.
