Crystal Structure of a GTP-Regulated ATP Sulfurylase Heterodimer from Pseudomonas syringae

Overview

Sulfate assimilation is a critical component of both primary and secondary, metabolism. An essential step in this pathway is the activation of sulfate, through adenylation by the enzyme ATP sulfurylase (ATPS), forming, adenosine 5'-phosphosulfate (APS). Proteobacterial ATPS overcomes this, energetically unfavorable reaction by associating with a regulatory G, protein, coupling the energy of GTP hydrolysis to APS formation. To, discover the molecular basis of this unusual role for a G protein, we, biochemically characterized and solved the X-ray crystal structure of a, complex between Pseudomonas syringae ATPS (CysD) and its associated, regulatory G protein (CysN). The structure of CysN*D shows the two, proteins in tight association; however, the nucleotides bound to each, subunit are spatially segregated. We provide evidence that conserved, switch motifs in the G domain of CysN allosterically mediate interactions, between the nucleotide binding sites. This structure suggests a molecular, mechanism by which conserved G domain architecture is used to, energetically link GTP turnover to the production of an essential, metabolite.
