Holo 1L-myo-inositol-1-phosphate Synthase
Overview
1-l-myo-Inositol-1-phosphate synthase catalyzes the conversion of, d-glucose 6-phosphate to 1-l-myo-inositol-1-phosphate (MIP), the first and, rate-limiting step in the biosynthesis of all inositol-containing, compounds. It involves an oxidation, intramolecular aldol cyclization, and, reduction. We have determined the first crystal structure of MIP synthase., We present structures of both the NAD-bound enzyme and the enzyme bound to, an inhibitor, 2-deoxy-glucitol-6-phosphate. While 58 amino acids are, disordered in the unbound form of the enzyme in the vicinity of the active, site, the inhibitor nucleates the folding of this domain in a striking, example of induced fit, serving to completely encapsulate it within the, enzyme. Three helices and a long beta-strand are formed in this process., We postulate a mechanism for the conversion based on the structure of the, inhibitor-bound complex.
