HUMAN TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE IN GDP BOUND FORM
Overview
Tissue transglutaminase (TG) is a Ca2+-dependent acyltransferase with, roles in cellular differentiation, apoptosis, and other biological, functions. In addition to being a transamidase, TG undergoes a, GTP-binding/GTPase cycle even though it lacks any obvious sequence, similarity with canonical GTP-binding (G) proteins. Guanine nucleotide, binding and Ca2+ concentration reciprocally regulate TG's transamidation, activity, with nucleotide binding being the negative regulator. Here we, report the x-ray structure determined to 2.8-A resolution of human TG, complexed with GDP. Although the transamidation active site is similar to, those of other known transglutaminases, the guanine nucleotide-binding, site of TG differs markedly from other G proteins. The structure suggests, a structural basis for the negative regulation of transamidation activity, by bound nucleotide, and the positive regulation of transamidation by, Ca2+.
