FunctionODHI_CORGL An essential component of the PknG signaling pathway. When unphosphorylated, it inhibits the activity of 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase. When phosphorylated it does not inhibit 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase. Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

This highly conserved protein is found in GC rich Gram-positive bacteria (e.g., the pathogenic Mycobacterium tuberculosis). The unphosphorylated form of OdhI inhibits the OdhA protein, a key enzyme of the TCA cycle, whereas the phosphorylated form is inactive. OdhI is predicted to be mainly a single FHA domain, a module that mediates protein-protein interaction through binding of phosphothreonine peptides, with a disordered N-terminal extension substrate of the serine/threonine protein kinases. In this study, we solved the solution structure of the unphosphorylated and phosphorylated isoforms of the protein. We observed a major conformational change between the two forms characterized by the binding of the phosphorylated N-terminal part of the protein to its own FHA domain, consequently inhibiting it. This structural observation corresponds to a new autoinhibition mechanism described for a FHA domain protein. Dynamic and structural characterization of a bacterial FHA protein reveals a new autoinhibition mechanism.,Barthe P, Roumestand C, Canova MJ, Kremer L, Hurard C, Molle V, Cohen-Gonsaud M Structure. 2009 Apr 15;17(4):568-78.
