Crystallographic and kinetic studies of human mitochondrial acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase (T2): the importance of potassium and chloride for its structure and function
Contents |
Overview
Thiolases are CoA-dependent enzymes which catalyze the formation of a, carbon-carbon bond in a Claisen condensation step and its reverse reaction, via a thiolytic degradation mechanism. Mitochondrial acetoacetyl-coenzyme, A (CoA) thiolase (T2) is important in the pathways for the synthesis and, degradation of ketone bodies as well as for the degradation of, 2-methylacetoacetyl-CoA. Human T2 deficiency has been identified in more, than 60 patients. A unique property of T2 is its activation by potassium, ions. High-resolution human T2 crystal structures are reported for the apo, form and the CoA complex, with and without a bound potassium ion. The, potassium ion is bound near the CoA binding site and the catalytic site., Binding of the potassium ion at this low-affinity binding site causes the, rigidification of a CoA binding loop and an active site loop., Unexpectedly, a high-affinity binding site for a chloride ion has also, been identified. The chloride ion is copurified, and its binding site is, at the dimer interface, near two catalytic loops. A unique property of T2, is its ability to use 2-methyl-branched acetoacetyl-CoA as a substrate, whereas the other structurally characterized thiolases cannot utilize the, 2-methylated compounds. The kinetic measurements show that T2 can degrade, acetoacetyl-CoA and 2-methylacetoacetyl-CoA with similar catalytic, efficiencies. For both substrates, the turnover numbers increase, approximately 3-fold when the potassium ion concentration is increased, from 0 to 40 mM KCl. The structural analysis of the active site of T2, indicates that the Phe325-Pro326 dipeptide near the catalytic cavity is, responsible for the exclusive 2-methyl-branched substrate specificity.
