Three-dimensional Structure of YaaE from Bacillus subtilis
Overview
The structure of YaaE from Bacillus subtilis was determined at 2.5-A, resolution. YaaE is a member of the triad glutamine aminotransferase, family and functions in a recently identified alternate pathway for the, biosynthesis of vitamin B(6). Proposed active residues include conserved, Cys-79, His-170, and Glu-172. YaaE shows similarity to HisH, a glutaminase, involved in histidine biosynthesis. YaaD associates with YaaE. A homology, model of this protein was constructed. YaaD is predicted to be a, (beta/alpha)(8) barrel on the basis of sequence comparisons. The predicted, active site includes highly conserved residues 211-216 and 233-235., Finally, a homology model of a putative YaaD-YaaE complex was prepared, using the structure of HisH-F as a model. This model predicts that the, ammonia molecule generated by YaaE is channeled through the center of the, YaaD barrel to the putative YaaD active site.
