HIGH RESOLUTION CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF LIGANDED HUMAN L-ACBP
|
Overview
The acyl-CoA binding protein (ACBP) is essential for the fatty acid, metabolism, membrane structure, membrane fusion, and ceramide synthesis., Here high resolution crystal structures of human cytosolic liver ACBP, unliganded and liganded with a physiological ligand, myristoyl-CoA are, described. The binding of the acyl-CoA molecule induces only few, structural differences near the binding pocket. The crystal form of the, liganded ACBP, which has two ACBP molecules in the asymmetric unit, shows, that in human ACBP the same acyl-CoA binding pocket is present as, previously described for the bovine and Plasmodium falciparum ACBP and the, mode of binding of the 3'-phosphate-AMP moiety is conserved. Unexpectedly, in one of the acyl-CoA binding pockets the acyl moiety is bound in a, reversed ... [(full description)]
