Crystal structure of isocitrate lyase in complex with succinate and itaconate
Structural highlights
FunctionACEA_MYCTU Catalyzes the formation of succinate and glyoxylate from isocitrate, a key step of the glyoxylate cycle. May be involved in the assimilation of one-carbon compounds via the isocitrate lyase-positive serine pathway (By similarity). Publication Abstract from PubMedDuring the glyoxylate cycle, isocitrate lyases (ICLs) catalyze the lysis of isocitrate to glyoxylate and succinate. Itaconate has been reported to inhibit an ICL from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (tbICL). To elucidate the molecular mechanism of ICL inhibition, we determined the crystal structure of tbICL in complex with itaconate. Unexpectedly, succinate and itaconate were found to bind to the respective active sites in the dimeric form of tbICL. Our structure revealed the active site architecture as an open form, although the substrate and inhibitor were bound to the active sites. Our findings provide novel insights into the conformation of tbICL upon its binding to a substrate or inhibitor, along with molecular details of the inhibitory mechanism of itaconate. Heterogeneous multimeric structure of isocitrate lyase in complex with succinate and itaconate provides novel insights into its inhibitory mechanism.,Kwon S, Chun HL, Ha HJ, Lee SY, Park HH PLoS One. 2021 May 5;16(5):e0251067. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0251067., eCollection 2021.
