Triose Phosphate Isomerase (TIM)
Triose phosphate isomerase (TIM)[1][2] (PDB 1wyi and 1hti) is a crucial enzyme in the glycolytic pathway. reversibly converts the aldose Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (GAP) to the ketose Dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP). The interconversion proceeds by an enediol intermediate.
Structural Characteristics of TIM
The secondary structure consists of 14 alpha helices and 8 beta sheets per monomer, making it fall in the SCOP category of alpha and beta proteins. The tertiary structure is a The quaternary structure is a homodimer.
Mechanism of TIM
The enzyme aids in catalysis by binding tightly to the enediol transition state. To convert GAP to the enediol intermediate, a proton is abstracted from C2 by a base and the carbonyl oxygen atom is protonated by an acid.[3] The enediol intermediate is negatively charged, but is somewhat [4] Mutation of Lys 12 to Arg increases Km by a factor of 22 and decreases Vmax by a factor of 180.[5] To convert the enediol intermediate to DHAP, C1 is protonated by Glu 165, with His 95 removing a proton from C2’s OH group. As a result, the catalytic groups are back to their original states, and catalysis is complete.
An interesting part of the enzyme is the that stabilizes the enediol-like transition state. The flexible loop (residues 167-176)[6] closes over the active site like a hinged lid when substrate is bound, thus preventing phosphate from leaving. A four-residue segment of the loop H-bonds with the phosphate group of the substrate.[7] Without the loop, the enediol intermediate would eliminate phosphate, with the end products being inorganic phosphate and toxic methylglyoxal.[8]
