Cystathionine beta-lyase
FunctionCystathionine β-lyase (CBL) belongs to a family of PLP-dependent enzymes which cleave C β-S bonds in a variety of subtsrates. PLP is a pyridoxal phosphate. CBL catalyzes a reaction specific for methionine biosynthesis[1]. CBL converts L-cystathionine to L-homocysteine, pyruvate and ammonia.
DiseaseCGL deficiency mediates neurodegeneration in Huntington's disease[3]. Structural highlightsThe structure of the EcCBL shows 3 spatially different domains. The N-terminal domain (residues 1-60) contributes to the tetramer formation. The second domain (residues 61-256) binds to the PLP and the C-terminal domain (residues 257-395). Residue Lys210 binds to PLP and mediates the proton transfer between Cα and Sγ[4]. PLP binding site. Water molecules are shown as red spheres.
