Overview

Escherichia coli YiaK catalyzes the reduction of 2,3-diketo-L-gulonate in, the presence of NADH. It belongs to a large family of oxidoreductases that, is conserved in archaea, bacteria, and eukaryotes but shows no sequence, homology to other proteins. We report here the crystal structures at up to, 2.0-A resolution of YiaK alone and in complex with NAD-tartrate. YiaK has, a new polypeptide backbone fold and a novel mode of recognizing the NAD, cofactor. In addition, NAD is bound in an unusual conformation, at the, interface of a dimer of the enzyme. The crystallographic analysis, unexpectedly revealed the binding of tartrate in the active site. Enzyme, kinetics studies confirm that tartrate and the related D-malate are, inhibitors of YiaK. In contrast to most other enzymes where substrate, binding produces a more closed conformation, the binding of NAD-tartrate, to YiaK produces a more open active site. The free enzyme conformation is, incompatible with NAD binding. His(44) is likely the catalytic residue of, the enzyme.
