Human glutamate dehydrogenase, H454Y mutant
Structural highlights
Disease[DHE3_HUMAN] Defects in GLUD1 are the cause of familial hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia type 6 (HHF6) [MIM:606762]; also known as hyperinsulinism-hyperammonemia syndrome (HHS). Familial hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia [MIM:256450], also referred to as congenital hyperinsulinism, nesidioblastosis, or persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia of infancy (PPHI), is the most common cause of persistent hypoglycemia in infancy and is due to defective negative feedback regulation of insulin secretion by low glucose levels. In HHF6 elevated oxidation rate of glutamate to alpha-ketoglutarate stimulates insulin secretion in the pancreatic beta cells, while they impair detoxification of ammonium in the liver.[1] [2] [3] [4] Function[DHE3_HUMAN] May be involved in learning and memory reactions by increasing the turnover of the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate (By similarity). Publication Abstract from PubMedMammalian glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) has complex allosteric regulation and the loss of GTP inhibition causes the hyperinsulinism/hyperammonemia syndrome (HHS) where insulin is hypersecreted upon consumption of protein. The archetypical HHS lesion is H454Y and lies in the GTP binding pocket. To better understand the mechanism of HHS, we determined the crystal structure of H454Y. When the bovine GDH crystal structures were minimized to prepare for further computational analysis, unusually large deviations were found at the allosteric NADH binding site due to chemical sequence errors. Notably, 387 lies in an allosteric where several activators and inhibitors bind and should be lysine rather than asparagine. All structures were re-refined and the consequence of this sequence error on NADH binding was calculated using free energy perturbation. The binding free energy penalty going from the correct to incorrect sequence found is +5 kcal/mol per site and therefore has a significant impact on drug development. BROADER AUDIENCE ABSTRACT: Glutamate dehydrogenase is a key enzyme involved in amino acid catabolism. As such, it is heavily regulated in animals by a wide array of metabolites. The importance of this regulation is most apparent in a genetic disorder called hyperinsulinism/hyperammonemia (HHS) where patients hypersecrete insulin upon the consumption of protein. We determined the atomic structure of one of these HHS mutants to better understand the disease and also analyzed an allosteric regulatory site.
