Function
Serotonin N-acetyltransferase is also named aralkylamine-N-acetyltransferase (ANAAT). AANAT is a member of a large superfamily of proteins, referred to alternatively as the motif A/B or the GCN-5-related N-acetyltransferase (or GNAT) family. The role of these enzymes is to catalyse the acetylation all sorts of residues. ANAAT catalyzes the acetylation of the amine group on serotonin, an intermediate in melatonin synthesis. It is the penultimate enzyme in the melatonin pathway, as it is shown on fig1. [3].
Relevance
Circulating melatonin plays a role in the circadian rythm. Day/night differences in circulating melatonin levels provide a hormonal analog signal of environmental lighting, which is used in a variety of ways to optimize circadian and circannual rhythms in physiology[4]. The amount of circulating melatonin is correlated with ANAAT activity, as enzyme activity varies in parallel with melatonin amount. For example, in some species the night/day differences in melatonin, AANAT activity, and protein are 10- to 100-fold [5][6]. Defects in ANAAT regulation could be responsible for sleep troubles, such as insomnia or narcolepsy.[7] but also serotonin-related deseases such as depression [8].
Structure
<b/> General description </b>
AANAT is a globular protein consisting of an 8-stranded β sheet with five α helices, with a conserved motif in the center of the sheet forming a binding site for acetyl-CoA, the acetyl source. A long α helix lies on the concave surface of the β sheet, with its axis approximately aligned with those of the strands. Two other helices wraps around the convexe surface of the sheet, perpendicular to it, like the staves of a barrel.
<b/> The active site </b> The folding of the active site is similar to the one of other members of the GNAT superfamily. However, the active site is deeply burried into the protein, which is rare in the GNAT family. The access to this site is warranted for serotonin by and hydrophobic funnel formed by three polypeptide loops which converge above the acCoA binding site. (INSERT GREEN LINK HERE WHICH SHOWS THE HYDROPHOBIC FUINNEL AND THE ACTIVE SITE)
At the bottom of the funnel, in the active site, are located two conserved histidines (GREEN LINK HERE) which suggest a catalytic mechanism for acetylation involving imidazole groups acting as general acid/base catalysts [9]. The putative calytic role of these histidines, H120 and H122, is illustrated by the following mechanism.
His122 is hold in place through H-bond interaction with a serine residue, Ser-97.
