The Structure and Mechanism of Citrate Synthase
|
Citrate synthase is an enzyme active in all examined cells, where it is most often responsible for catalyzing the first reaction of the citric acid cycle (Krebs Cycle or the tricarboxylic acid [TCA] cycle): the condensation of acetyl-CoA and oxaloacetate to form citrate. Although in eukaryotes it is a mitochondrial enzyme, and in fact, is often used as a enzyme marker for intact mitochondria, it is encoded by nuclear DNA[1]. The standard free energy change (ΔG°’) for the citrate synthase reaction is -31.5kJ/mol [2]. This negative free energy value means that citrate synthase is likely to function far from equilibrium under physiological conditions, and is thus a rate-determining enzyme in the citric acid cycle.
Structure: Biologically, citrate synthase exists as a
of a single amino acid chain . Each identical subunit consists of a large and a small domain, and is comprised almost entirely of α helices (making it an all α protein). In its free enzyme state, citrate synthase exists in , with its two domains forming a cleft containing the substrate (oxaloacetate) binding site (PDB: 1cts) [3][4]. When oxaloacetate binds, the smaller domain undergoes an 18° rotation, sealing the oxaloacetate binding site[5] and resulting in the (PDB: 2cts)[3]. The dramatic conformational change is best illustrated via , and be sure to view as well to get a full sense of the structural change. The conformational change not only prevents solvent from reaching the bound substrate, but also generates the acetyl-CoA binding site. This presence of “open” and “closed” forms results in citrate synthase having Ordered Sequential kinetic behavior [2].

Positions of hydrogens on the ligands were calculated and added back to structures in the reaction scheme for instructional purposes and are not present in the experimentally-determined structures; additionally, arrows are drawn with atoms of the analog of acetyl-CoA to approximate the position of the reactive groups only as the reactive groups are not actually part of the analog or the molecules would have reacted; please, see the reaction scheme on this page for a more thorough accounting of the chemistry.
