CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF BETA1,3-GLUCURONYLTRANSFERASE I IN COMPLEX WITH THE ACTIVE UDP-GLCUA DONOR
Overview
Beta1,3-glucuronyltransferase (GlcAT-I) is an essential enzyme involved in, heparan sulfate and chondroitin sulfate biosynthesis. GlcAT-I is an, inverting glycosyltransferase that catalyzes the transfer of glucuronic, acid (GlcUA) to the common growing linker region Galbeta1-3Galbeta1-4Xyl, that is attached to a serine side chain of a core protein. Previously the, structure of GlcAT-I has been solved in the presence of the donor product, UDP and an acceptor analog Galbeta1-3Galbeta1-4Xyl (Pedersen, L. C., Tsuchida, K., Kitagawa, H., Sugahara, K., Darden, T. A. & Negishi, M., (2000) J. Biol. Chem. 275, 34580-34585). Here we report the x-ray crystal, structure of GlcAT-I in complex with the complete donor UDP-GlcUA, thereby, providing structures of an inverting glycosyltransferase in which both the, complete donor and acceptor substrates are present in the active site., This structure supports the in-line displacement reaction mechanism, previously proposed. It also provides information on the essential amino, acid residues that determine donor substrate specificity.
