GLUTAMATE-1-SEMIALDEHYDE 2,1-AMINOMUTASE FROM THERMOSYNECHOCOCCUS ELONGATUS
Overview
Glutamate-1-semialdehyde 2,1-aminomutase (GSAM) is the second enzyme in, the C(5) pathway of tetrapyrrole biosynthesis found in most bacteria, in, archaea and in plants. It catalyzes the transamination of, glutamate-1-semialdehyde to 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) in a pyridoxal, 5'-phosphate (PLP)-dependent manner. We present the crystal structure of, GSAM from the thermophilic cyanobacterium Thermosynechococcus elongatus, (GSAM(Tel)) in its PLP-bound form at 2.85A resolution. GSAM(Tel) is a, symmetric homodimer, whereas GSAM from Synechococcus (GSAM(Syn)) has been, described as asymmetric. The symmetry of GSAM(Tel) thus challenges the, previously proposed negative cooperativity between monomers of this, enzyme. Furthermore, GSAM(Tel) reveals an extensive flexible region at the, interface ... [(full description)]
