Ligands: PHT, SF4 Related: 6f48, 6f4d, 6f4l Gene: nadA, TM_1644 (THEMA) Activity: Quinolinate synthase, with EC number 2.5.1.72 Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function [NADA_THEMA] Catalyzes the condensation of iminoaspartate with dihydroxyacetone phosphate to form quinolinate (By similarity). Publication Abstract from PubMed NadA is a multifunctional enzyme that condenses dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) with iminoaspartate (IA) to generate quinolinic acid (QA), the universal precursor of the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(P)) cofactor. Using X-ray crystallography, we have (i) characterized two of the reaction intermediates of QA synthesis using a "pH-shift" approach and a slowly reacting Thermotoga maritima NadA variant and (ii) observed the QA product, resulting from the degradation of an intermediate analogue, bound close to the entrance of a long tunnel leading to the solvent medium. We have also used molecular docking to propose a condensation mechanism between DHAP and IA based on two previously published Pyrococcus horikoshi NadA structures. The combination of reported data and our new results provide a structure-based complete catalytic sequence of QA synthesis by NadA.
