5-AMINOLEVULINATE SYNTHASE FROM RHODOBACTER CAPSULATUS IN COMPLEX WITH GLYCINE
Overview
5-Aminolevulinate synthase (ALAS) is the first and rate-limiting enzyme of, heme biosynthesis in humans, animals, other non-plant eukaryotes, and, alpha-proteobacteria. It catalyzes the synthesis of 5-aminolevulinic acid, the first common precursor of all tetrapyrroles, from glycine and, succinyl-coenzyme A (sCoA) in a pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP)-dependent, manner. X-linked sideroblastic anemias (XLSAs), a group of severe, disorders in humans characterized by inadequate formation of heme in, erythroblast mitochondria, are caused by mutations in the gene for, erythroid eALAS, one of two human genes for ALAS. We present the first, crystal structure of homodimeric ALAS from Rhodobacter capsulatus, (ALAS(Rc)) binding its cofactor PLP. We, furthermore, present structures, of ALAS(Rc) in complex with the substrates glycine or sCoA. The sequence, identity of ALAS from R. capsulatus and human eALAS is 49%. XLSA-causing, mutations may thus be mapped, revealing the molecular basis of XLSA in, humans. Mutations are found to obstruct substrate binding, disrupt the, dimer interface, or hamper the correct folding. The structure of ALAS, completes the structural analysis of enzymes in heme biosynthesis.
