ASPARTATE AMINOTRANSFERASE FROM SACCHAROMYCES CEREVISIAE CYTOPLASM
Overview
The crystal structure of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cytoplasmic aspartate, aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.1) has been determined to 2.05 A resolution in, the presence of the cofactor pyridoxal-5'-phosphate and the competitive, inhibitor maleate. The structure was solved by the method of molecular, replacement. The final value of the crystallographic R-factor after, refinement was 23.1% with good geometry of the final model. The yeast, cytoplasmic enzyme is a homodimer with two identical active sites, containing residues from each subunit. It is found in the "closed", conformation with a bound maleate inhibitor in each active site. It shares, the same three-dimensional fold and active site residues as the aspartate, aminotransferases from Escherichia coli, chicken cytoplasm, and chicken, mitochondria, although it shares less than 50% sequence identity with any, of them. The availability of four similar enzyme structures from distant, regions of the evolutionary tree provides a measure of tolerated changes, that can arise during millions of years of evolution.
