CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF HOMOSERINE KINASE COMPLEXED WITH THREONINE
Overview
Homoserine kinase (HSK), the fourth enzyme in the aspartate pathway of, amino acid biosynthesis, catalyzes the phosphorylation of L-homoserine, (Hse) to L-homoserine phosphate, an intermediate in the production of, L-threonine, L-isoleucine, and in higher plants, L-methionine. The, high-resolution structures of Methanococcus jannaschii HSK ternary, complexes with its amino acid substrate and ATP analogues have been, determined by X-ray crystallography. These structures reveal the, structural determinants of the tight and highly specific binding of Hse, which is coupled with local conformational changes that enforce the, sequestration of the substrate. The delta-hydroxyl group of bound Hse is, only 3.4 A away from the gamma-phosphate of the bound nucleotide, poised, for the in-line attack ... [(full description)]
