Method: X-ray diffraction, Resolution 1.98Å Ligands: 1PE, AKG, COA, SO4, ZN Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function HOSA_SULAC Catalyzes the aldol-type condensation of 2-oxoglutarate with acetyl-CoA to yield homocitrate. Carries out the first step of the alpha-aminoadipate (AAA) lysine biosynthesis pathway. Does not display 2-isopropylmalate synthase and citramalate synthase activities since it cannot use 2-oxoisovalerate or pyruvate as substrate. Publication Abstract from PubMed Homocitrate synthase (HCS) catalyzes the aldol condensation of alpha-ketoglutarate and acetyl coenzyme A to form homocitrate, which is the first committed step of lysine biosynthesis through the alpha-aminoadipate pathway in yeast, fungi, and some prokaryotes. We determined the crystal structure of a truncated form of HCS from a hyperthermophilic acidophilic archaeon, Sulfolobus acidocaldarius, which lacks the RAM (Regulation of amino acid metabolism) domain at the C terminus serving as the regulatory domain for the feedback inhibition by lysine, in complex with alpha-ketoglutarate, Mg(2+) , and CoA. This structure coupled with mutational analysis revealed that a subdomain, subdomain II, connecting the N-terminal catalytic domain and C-terminal RAM domain is involved in the recognition of acetyl-CoA. This is the first structural evidence of the function of subdomain II in the related enzyme family, which will lead to a better understanding of the catalytic mechanism of HCS.
