'''Crystal structure of the biotin carboxylase subunit of pyruvate carboxylase'''<br />
'''Crystal structure of the biotin carboxylase subunit of pyruvate carboxylase'''<br />


==Overview==
==Overview==
Pyruvate carboxylase (PC) is distributed in many eukaryotes as well as in, some prokaryotes. PC catalyzes the ATP-dependent carboxylation of pyruvate, to form oxalacetate. PC has three functional domains, one of which is a, biotin carboxylase (BC) domain. The BC subunit of PC from Aquifex aeolicus, (PC-beta) was crystallized in an orthorhombic form with space group, P2(1)2(1)2, unit-cell parameters a = 92.4, b = 122.1, c = 59.0 A and one, molecule in the asymmetric unit. Diffraction data were collected at 100 K, on BL24XU at SPring-8. The crystal structure was determined by the, molecular-replacement method and refined against 20.0-2.2 A resolution, data, giving an R factor of 0.199 and a free R factor of 0.236. The, crystal structure revealed that PC-beta forms a dimeric quaternary, structure consisting of two molecules related by crystallographic twofold, symmetry. The overall structure of PC-beta is similar to other, biotin-dependent carboxylases, such as acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC)., Although some parts of domain B were disordered in ACC, the corresponding, parts of PC-beta were clearly determined in the crystal structure. From, comparison between the active-site structure of ACC with ATP bound and a, virtual model of PC-beta with ATP bound, it was shown that the backbone, torsion angles of Glu203 in PC-beta change and some of water molecules in, the active site of PC-beta are excluded upon ATP binding.
