Crystal Structure of Acyl-CoA transferase from E. coli O157:H7 (YdiF)-thioester complex with CoA- 1
Structural highlights
FunctionYDIF_ECO57 CoA transferase having broad substrate specificity for short-chain acyl-CoA thioesters with the activity decreasing when the length of the carboxylic acid chain exceeds four carbons. Exhibits high activity with acetoacetyl-CoA, propionyl-CoA, crotonoyl-CoA or butyryl-CoA as donors, with acetate as an acceptor. When acetyl-CoA is used as the donor, propionate, acetoacetate, butyrate, isobutyrate, and 4-hydroxybutyrate can be utilized as acceptors but not isovalerate. May play a role in short-chain fatty acid metabolism in E.coli.[1] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedCoenzyme A transferases are involved in a broad range of biochemical processes in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, and exhibit a diverse range of substrate specificities. The YdiF protein from Escherichia coli O157:H7 is an acyl-CoA transferase of unknown physiological function, and belongs to a large sequence family of CoA transferases, present in bacteria to humans, which utilize oxoacids as acceptors. In vitro measurements showed that YdiF displays enzymatic activity with short-chain acyl-CoAs. The crystal structures of YdiF and its complex with CoA, the first co-crystal structure for any Family I CoA transferase, have been determined and refined at 1.9 and 2.0 A resolution, respectively. YdiF is organized into tetramers, with each monomer having an open alpha/beta structure characteristic of Family I CoA transferases. Co-crystallization of YdiF with a variety of CoA thioesters in the absence of acceptor carboxylic acid resulted in trapping a covalent gamma-glutamyl-CoA thioester intermediate. The CoA binds within a well defined pocket at the N- and C-terminal domain interface, but makes contact only with the C-terminal domain. The structure of the YdiF complex provides a basis for understanding the different catalytic steps in the reaction of Family I CoA transferases.
