== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Heme A is an essential cofactor for respiratory terminal oxidases and vital for respiration in aerobic organisms. The final step of heme A biosynthesis is formylation of the C-8 methyl group of heme molecule by heme A synthase (HAS). HAS is a heme-containing integral membrane protein, and its structure and reaction mechanisms have remained unknown. Thus, little is known about HAS despite of its importance. Here we report the crystal structure of HAS from Bacillus subtilis at 2.2-A resolution. The N- and C-terminal halves of HAS consist of four-helix bundles and they align in a pseudo twofold symmetry manner. Each bundle contains a pair of histidine residues and forms a heme-binding domain. The C-half domain binds a cofactor-heme molecule, while the N-half domain is vacant. Many water molecules are found in the transmembrane region and around the substrate-binding site, and some of them interact with the main chain of transmembrane helix. Comparison of these two domain structures enables us to construct a substrate-heme binding state structure. This structure implies that a completely conserved glutamate, Glu57 in B. subtilis, is the catalytic residue for the formylation reaction. These results provide valuable suggestions of the substrate-heme binding mechanism. Our results present significant insight into the heme A biosynthesis.
