CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF A TRUNCATED VARIANT OF INDOLE-3-GLYCEROL PHOSPHATE SYNTHASE FROM SULFOLOBUS SOLFATARICUS
Overview
Indole-3-glycerol phosphate synthase (IGPS) catalyzes the fifth step in, the biosynthesis of tryptophan. It belongs to the large and versatile, family of (betaalpha)(8)-barrel enzymes but has an unusual N-terminal, extension of about 40 residues. Limited proteolysis with trypsin of IGPS, from both Sulfolobus solfataricus (sIGPS) and Thermotoga maritima (tIGPS), removes about 25 N-terminal residues and one of the two extra helices, contained therein. To assess the role of the extension, the N-terminally, truncated variants sIGPSDelta(1-26) and tIGPSDelta(1-25) were produced, recombinantly in Escherichia coli, purified, and characterized in, comparison to the wild-type enzymes. Both sIGPSDelta(1-26) and, tIGPSDelta(1-25) have unchanged oligomerization states and turnover, numbers. In contrast, their Michaelis constants for the substrate, 1-(o-carboxyphenylamino)-1-deoxyribulose 5-phosphate are increased, and, their resistance toward unfolding induced by heat and guanidinium chloride, is decreased. sIGPSDelta(1-26) was crystallized, and its X-ray structure, was solved at 2.8 A resolution. The comparison with the known structure of, sIGPS reveals small differences that account for its reduced substrate, affinity and protein stability. The structure of the core of, sIGPSDelta(1-26) is, however, unchanged compared to sIGPS, explaining its, retained catalytic activity and consistent with the idea that it evolved, from the same ancestor as the phosphoribosyl anthranilate isomerase and, the alpha-subunit of tryptophan synthase. These (betaalpha)(8)-barrel, enzymes catalyze the reactions preceding and following IGPS in tryptophan, biosynthesis but lack an N-terminal extension.
