Method: X-ray diffraction, Resolution 1.8Å Ligands: ANP, NO3, THR Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function SUA5_SULTO Required for the formation of a threonylcarbamoyl group on adenosine at position 37 (t(6)A37) in tRNAs that read codons beginning with adenine (By similarity). Probably catalyzes the conversion of L-threonine, bicarbonate/CO(2) and ATP to give threonylcarbamoyl-AMP (TC-AMP) as the acyladenylate intermediate, with the release of pyrophosphate. Shows ATP hydrolysis activity in vitro, producing AMP. Publication Abstract from PubMed The hypermodified nucleoside N(6)-threonylcarbamoyladenosine resides at position 37 of tRNA molecules bearing U at position 36 and maintains translational fidelity in the three kingdoms of life. The N(6)-threonylcarbamoyl moiety is composed of L-threonine and bicarbonate, and its synthesis was genetically shown to require YrdC/Sua5. YrdC/Sua5 binds to tRNA and ATP. In this study, we analyzed the L-threonine-binding mode of Sua5 from the archaeon Sulfolobus tokodaii. Isothermal titration calorimetry measurements revealed that S. tokodaii Sua5 binds L-threonine more strongly than L-serine and glycine. The Kd values of Sua5 for L-threonine and L-serine are 9.3 muM and 2.6 mM, respectively. We determined the crystal structure of S. tokodaii Sua5, complexed with AMPPNP and L-threonine, at 1.8 A resolution. The L-threonine is bound next to AMPPNP in the same pocket of the N-terminal domain. Thr118 and two water molecules form hydrogen bonds with AMPPNP in a unique manner for adenine-specific recognition. The carboxyl group and the side-chain hydroxyl and methyl groups of L-threonine are buried deep in the pocket, whereas the amino group faces AMPPNP. The L-threonine is located in a suitable position to react together with ATP for the synthesis of N(6)-threonylcarbamoyladenosine.
