ACETYLGLUTAMATE KINASE FROM THERMOTOGA MARITIMA COMPLEXED WITH ITS INHIBITOR ARGININE
Overview
N-Acetylglutamate kinase (NAGK) catalyses the second step in the route of, arginine biosynthesis. In many organisms this enzyme is inhibited by the, final product of the route, arginine, and thus plays a central regulatory, role. In addition, in photosynthetic organisms NAGK is the target of the, nitrogen-signalling protein PII. The 3-D structure of homodimeric, arginine-insensitive, Escherichia coli NAGK, clarified substrate binding, and catalysis but shed no light on arginine inhibition of NAGK. We now, shed light on arginine inhibition by determining the crystal structures, at 2.75 A and 2.95 A resolution, of arginine-complexed Thermotoga maritima, and arginine-free Pseudomonas aeruginosa NAGKs, respectively. Both enzymes, are highly similar ring-like hexamers having a central orifice ... [(full description)]
