The two enzymes share 30% sequence identity and use the same amino acceptor, pyruvate; however, the Pseudomonas enzyme shows activity towards the amino donor beta-alanine, whilst the Chromobacterium enzyme does not. Both enzymes show activity towards S-alpha-methylbenzylamine (MBA), with the Chromobacterium enzyme having a broader substrate range. The crystal structure of the P. aeruginosa enzyme has been solved in the holo form and with the inhibitor gabaculine bound. The C. violaceum enzyme has been solved in the apo and holo forms and with gabaculine bound. The structures of the holo forms of both enzymes are quite similar. There is little conformational difference observed between the inhibitor complex and the holoenzyme for the P. aeruginosa aminotransferase. In comparison, the crystal structure of the C. violaceum gabaculine complex shows significant structural rearrangements from the structures of both the apo and holo forms of the enzyme. It appears that the different rigidity of the protein scaffold contributes to the substrate specificity observed for the two omega-aminotransferases. Structural studies of Pseudomonas and Chromobacterium omega-aminotransferases provide insights into their differing substrate specificity.,Sayer C, Isupov MN, Westlake A, Littlechild JA Acta Crystallogr D Biol Crystallogr. 2013 Apr;69(Pt 4):564-76. doi:, 10.1107/S0907444912051670.
