CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF AN ATP DEPENDENT CARBOXYLASE, DETHIOBIOTIN SYNTHASE, AT 1.65 ANGSTROMS RESOLUTION
Overview
BACKGROUND: In Escherichia coli, the enzymes of the biotin biosynthesis, pathway are encoded by the bio operon. One of these enzymes, ATP-dependent, dethiobiotin synthetase, catalyzes the carboxylation of, 7,8-diaminopelargonic acid leading to the formation of the ureido ring of, biotin. The enzyme belongs to the class of ATP-dependent carboxylases and, we present here the first crystal structure determined for this class of, enzyme. RESULTS: We have determined the crystal structure of homodimeric, dethiobiotin synthetase to 1.65 A resolution. The subunit consists of a, seven-stranded parallel beta-sheet, surrounded by alpha-helices. The sheet, contains the classical mononucleotide-binding motif with a fingerprint, peptide Gly-X-X-X-X-X-Gly-Lys-Thr. The mononucleotide binding part of the, structure is very similar to the GTP-binding protein H-ras-p21 and thus, all GTP-binding proteins. A comparison reveals that some of the residues, which in H-ras-p21 interact with the nucleotide and the metal ion, are, conserved in the synthetase. CONCLUSIONS: The three-dimensional structure, of dethiobiotin synthetase has revealed that ATP-dependent carboxylases, contain the classical mononucleotide-binding fold. Considerable, similarities to the structure of the GTP-binding protein H-ras-p21 were, found, indicating that both proteins might have evolved from a common, ancestral mononucleotide-binding fold.
