THE CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF AN ENGINEERED MONOMERIC TRIOSEPHOSPHATE ISOMERASE, MONOTIM: THE CORRECT MODELLING OF AN EIGHT-RESIDUE LOOP
Overview
BACKGROUND: The triosephosphate isomerase (TIM) fold is found in several different classes of enzymes, most of which are oligomers; TIM itself always functions as a very tight dimer. It has recently been shown that a monomeric form of TIM ('monoTIM') can be constructed by replacing a 15-residue interface loop, loop-3, with an eight-residue fragment; modelling suggests that this should result in a short strain-free turn, resulting in the subsequent helix, helix-A3, having an additional turn at its amino terminus. RESULTS: The crystal structure of monoTIM shows that it retains the characteristic TIM-barrel (betaalpha)8-fold and that the new loop has a structure very close to that predicted. Two other interface loops, loop-1 and loop-4, which contain the active site residues Lys13 and His95, respectively, show significant changes in structure in monoTIM compared with dimeric wild-type TIM. CONCLUSION: The observed structural differences between monoTIM and wild-type TIM indicate that the dimeric appearance of TIM determines the location and conformation of two of the four catalytic residues.
