Crystal structure of tt0168 from Thermus thermophilus HB8

Overview

Long chain fatty acyl-CoA synthetases are responsible for fatty acid, degradation as well as physiological regulation of cellular functions via, the production of long chain fatty acyl-CoA esters. We report the first, crystal structures of long chain fatty acyl-CoA synthetase homodimer, (LC-FACS) from Thermus thermophilus HB8 (ttLC-FACS), including complexes, with the ATP analogue adenosine 5'-(beta,gamma-imido) triphosphate, (AMP-PNP) and myristoyl-AMP. ttLC-FACS is a member of the adenylate, forming enzyme superfamily that catalyzes the ATP-dependent acylation of, fatty acid in a two-step reaction. The first reaction step was shown to, propagate in AMP-PNP complex crystals soaked with myristate solution., Myristoyl-AMP was identified as the intermediate. The AMP-PNP and the, myristoyl-AMP complex structures show an identical closed conformation of, the small C-terminal domains, whereas the uncomplexed form shows a variety, of open conformations. Upon ATP binding, the fatty acid-binding tunnel, gated by an aromatic residue opens to the ATP-binding site. The gated, fatty acid-binding tunnel appears only to allow one-way movement of the, fatty acid during overall catalysis. The protein incorporates a, hydrophobic branch from the fatty acid-binding tunnel that is responsible, for substrate specificity. Based on these high resolution crystal, structures, we propose a unidirectional Bi Uni Uni Bi Ping-Pong mechanism, for the two-step acylation by ttLC-FACS.
