DNA replication is strictly regulated through a sequence of steps that involve many macromolecular protein complexes. One of them is the replicative helicase, which is required for initiation and elongation phases. A MCM helicase found as a prophage in the genome of Bacillus cereus is fused with a primase domain constituting an integrative arrangement of two essential activities for replication. We have isolated this helicase-primase complex (BcMCM) showing that it can bind DNA and displays not only helicase and primase but also DNA polymerase activity. Using single-particle electron microscopy and 3D reconstruction, we obtained structures of BcMCM using ATPγS or ADP in the absence and presence of DNA. The complex depicts the typical hexameric ring shape. The dissection of the unwinding mechanism using site-directed mutagenesis in the Walker A, Walker B, arginine finger and the helicase channels, suggests that the BcMCM complex unwinds DNA following the extrusion model similarly to the E1 helicase from papillomavirus. 相似文献

It has been proposed that "Glu238" within the N-box of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK) is a base catalyst. The pH dependence of k(cat) of Arabidopsis thaliana PDK indicates that ionizable groups with pK values of 6.2 and 8.4 are necessary for catalysis, and the temperature dependence of these values suggests that the acidic pK is due to a carboxyl- or imidazole-group. The E238 and K241 mutants had elevated K(m,ATP) values. The acidic pK value of the E238A mutant was shifted to 5.5. The H233A, L234H, and L234A mutants had the same pK values as wild-type AtPDK, contrary to the previous proposal of a "Glu-polarizing" His. Instead, we suggest that the conserved Glu, Lys, and Asn residues of the N-box contribute to coordinating Mg2+ in a position critical for formation of the PDK-MgATP-substrate ternary complex. 相似文献

Icosahedral pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) enzyme complexes are molecular machines consisting of a central E2 core decorated by a shell of peripheral enzymes (E1 and E3) found localized at a distance of approximately 75-90 A from the core. Using a combination of biochemical, biophysical, and cryo-electron microscopic techniques, we show here that the gap between the E2 core and the shell of peripheral enzymes is maintained by the flexible but extended conformation adopted by 60 linker polypeptides that radiate outwards from the inner E2 core, irrespective of the E1 or E3 occupancy. The constancy of the gap is thus not due to protein-protein interactions in the outer protein shell. The extended nature of the E2 inner-linker regions thereby creates the restricted annular space in which the lipoyl domains of E2 that carry catalytic intermediates shuttle between E1, E2, and E3 active sites, while their conformational flexibility facilitates productive encounters. 相似文献

The alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex of Escherichia coli utilizes pyruvate as a poor substrate, with an activity of 0.082 units/mg of protein compared with 22 units/mg of protein for alpha-ketoglutarate. Pyruvate fully reduces the FAD in the complex and both alpha-keto[5-14C]glutarate and [2-14C]pyruvate fully [14C] acylate the lipoyl groups with approximately 10 nmol of 14C/mg of protein, corresponding to 24 lipoyl groups. NADH-dependent succinylation by [4-14C]succinyl-CoA also labels the enzyme with approximately 10 nmol of 14C/mg of protein. Therefore, pyruvate is a true substrate. However, the pyruvate and alpha-ketoglutarate activities exhibit different thiamin pyrophosphate dependencies. Moreover, 3-fluoropyruvate inhibits the pyruvate activity of the complex without affecting the alpha-ketoglutarate activity, and 2-oxo-3-fluoroglutarate inhibits the alpha-ketoglutarate activity without affecting the pyruvate activity. 3-Fluoro[1,2-14C]pyruvate labels about 10% of the E1 components (alpha-ketoacid dehydrogenases). The dihydrolipoyl transsuccinylase-dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase subcomplex (E2E3) is activated as a pyruvate dehydrogenase complex by addition of E. coli pyruvate dehydrogenase, the E1 component of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. All evidence indicates that the alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex purified from E. coli is a hybrid complex containing pyruvate dehydrogenase (approximately 10%) and alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase (approximately 90%) as its E1 components. 相似文献

The pyruvate dehydrogenase multienzyme complex from Bacillus stearothermophilus was reconstituted in vitro from recombinant proteins derived from genes over-expressed in Escherichia coli. Titrations of the icosahedral (60-mer) dihydrolipoyl acetyltransferase (E2) core component with the pyruvate decarboxylase (E1, alpha2beta2) and dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase (E3, alpha2) peripheral components indicated a variable composition defined predominantly by tight and mutually exclusive binding of E1 and E3 with the peripheral subunit-binding domain of each E2 chain. However, both analysis of the polypeptide chain ratios in complexes generated from various mixtures of E1 and E3, and displacement of E1 or E3 from E1-E2 or E3-E2 subcomplexes by E3 or E1, respectively, showed that the multienzyme complex does not behave as a simple competitive binding system. This implies the existence of secondary interactions between the E1 and E3 subunits and E2 that only become apparent on assembly. Exact geometrical distribution of E1 and E3 is unlikely and the results are best explained by preferential arrangements of E1 and E3 on the surface of the E2 core, superimposed on their mutually exclusive binding to the peripheral subunit-binding domain of the E2 chain. Correlation of the subunit composition with the overall catalytic activity of the enzyme complex confirmed the lack of any requirement for precise stoichiometry or strict geometric arrangement of the three catalytic sites and emphasized the crucial importance of the flexibility associated with the lipoyl domains and intramolecular acetyl group transfer in the mechanism of active-site coupling. 相似文献

Effects of alpha-ketoisovalerate on bovine heart pyruvate dehydrogenase complex and pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The regulatory effects of alpha-ketoisovalerate on purified bovine heart pyruvate dehydrogenase complex and endogenous pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase were investigated. Incubation of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex with 0.125 to 10 mM alpha-ketoisovalerate caused an initial lag in enzymatic activity, followed by a more linear but inhibited rate of NADH production. Incubation with 0.0125 or 0.05 mM alpha-ketoisovalerate caused pyruvate dehydrogenase inhibition, but did not cause the initial lag in pyruvate dehydrogenase activity. Gel electrophoresis and fluorography demonstrated the incorporation of acyl groups from alpha-keto[2-14C]isovalerate into the dihydrolipoyl transacetylase component of the enzyme complex. Acylation was prevented by pyruvate and by arsenite plus NADH. Endogenous pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase activity was stimulated specifically by K+, in contrast to previous reports, and kinase stimulation by K+ correlated with pyruvate dehydrogenase inactivation. Maximum kinase activity in the presence of K+ was inhibited 62% by 0.1 mM thiamin pyrophosphate, but was inhibited only 27% in the presence of 0.1 mM thiamin pyrophosphate and 0.1 mM alpha-ketoisovalerate. Pyruvate did not affect kinase inhibition by thiamin pyrophosphate at either 0.05 or 2 mM. The present study demonstrates that alpha-ketoisovalerate acylates heart pyruvate dehydrogenase complex and suggests that acylation prevents thiamin pyrophosphate-mediated kinase inhibition. 相似文献

Structures of the human pyruvate dehydrogenase complex cores: a highly conserved catalytic center with flexible N-terminal domains 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Dihydrolipoyl acetyltransferase (E2) is the central component of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC), which converts pyruvate to acetyl-CoA. Structural comparison by cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) of the human full-length and truncated E2 (tE2) cores revealed flexible linkers emanating from the edges of trimers of the internal catalytic domains. Using the secondary structure constraints revealed in our 8 A cryo-EM reconstruction and the prokaryotic tE2 atomic structure as a template, we derived a pseudo atomic model of human tE2. The active sites are conserved between prokaryotic tE2 and human tE2. However, marked structural differences are apparent in the hairpin domain and in the N-terminal helix connected to the flexible linker. These permutations away from the catalytic center likely impart structures needed to integrate a second component into the inner core and provide a sturdy base for the linker that holds the pyruvate dehydrogenase for access by the E2-bound regulatory kinase/phosphatase components in humans. 相似文献

The pyruvate dehydrogenase multienzyme complexes are among the largest multifunctional catalytic machines in cells, catalyzing the production of acetyl CoA from pyruvate. We have previously reported the molecular architecture of an 11-MDa subcomplex comprising the 60-mer icosahedral dihydrolipoyl acetyltransferase (E2) decorated with 60 copies of the heterotetrameric (alpha(2)beta(2)) 153-kDa pyruvate decarboxylase (E1) from Bacillus stearothermophilus (Milne, J. L. S., Shi, D., Rosenthal, P. B., Sunshine, J. S., Domingo, G. J., Wu, X., Brooks, B. R., Perham, R. N., Henderson, R., and Subramaniam, S. (2002) EMBO J. 21, 5587-5598). An annular gap of approximately 90 A separates the acetyltransferase catalytic domains of the E2 from an outer shell formed of E1 tetramers. Using cryoelectron microscopy, we present here a three-dimensional reconstruction of the E2 core decorated with 60 copies of the homodimeric 100-kDa dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase (E3). The E2E3 complex has a similar annular gap of approximately 75 A between the inner icosahedral assembly of acetyltransferase domains and the outer shell of E3 homodimers. Automated fitting of the E3 coordinates into the map suggests excellent correspondence between the density of the outer shell map and the positions of the two best fitting orientations of E3. As in the case of E1 in the E1E2 complex, the central 2-fold axis of the E3 homodimer is roughly oriented along the periphery of the shell, making the active sites of the enzyme accessible from the annular gap between the E2 core and the outer shell. The similarities in architecture of the E1E2 and E2E3 complexes indicate fundamental similarities in the mechanism of active site coupling involved in the two key stages requiring motion of the swinging lipoyl domain across the annular gap, namely the synthesis of acetyl CoA and regeneration of the dithiolane ring of the lipoyl domain. 相似文献

Our understanding of the Plasmodium mitochondrion and apicoplast has been greatly assisted by the genome sequence project. Sequence data have seeded recent research showing that the apicoplast is the site of several anabolic pathways including fatty acid synthesis. The discovery of an active apicoplast pyruvate dehydrogenase complex implies this enzyme generates the acetyl-CoA needed for fatty acid synthesis. However, the absence of a corresponding mitochondrial complex suggests that energy generation in Plasmodium is considerably different from pathways described in other eukaryotes. 相似文献

One cDNA clone for lipoate acetyltransferase, a component enzyme of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, was isolated from a rat liver cDNA library prepared in the phage expression vector λgt11 using immunological screening with affinity purified anti-lipoate acetyltransferase antibody. It was identified that cDNA insert in this clone codes for lipoate acetyltransferase by immunoblotting of lysogen carrying the isolated clone. Lipoate acetyltransferase antigenic polypeptide in fusion protein was about 11,000 daltons, agreeing with the size of cDNA insert to be 300 base pairs. 相似文献

To examine the stereospecific effects of lipoic compounds on pyruvate metabolism, the effects of R-lipoic acid (R-LA), S-lipoic acid (S-LA) and 1,2-diselenolane-3-pentanoic acid (Se-LA) on the activities of the mammalian pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) and its catalytic components were investigated. Both S-LA and R-LA markedly inhibited PDC activity; whereas Se-LA displayed inhibition only at higher concentrations. Examination of the effects on the individual catalytic components indicated that Se-LA inhibited the pyruvate dehydrogenase component; whereas R-LA and S-LA inhibited the dihydrolipoamide acetyltransferase component. The three lipoic compounds lowered dihydrolipoamide dehydrogrenase (E3) activity in the forward reaction by about 30 to 45%. The kinetic data of E3 showed that both R-LA and Se-LA are used as substrates by E3 for the reverse reaction. Decarboxylation of [1-14C]pyruvate via PDC by cultured HepG2 cells was not affected by R-LA, but moderately decreased with S-LA and Se-LA. These findings indicate that (i) purified PDC and its catalytic components are affected by lipoic compounds based on their stereoselectivity; and (ii) the oxidation of pyruvate by intact HepG2 cells is not inhibited by R-LA. The later finding with the intact cells is in support of therapeutic role of R-LA as an antioxidant. 相似文献

In human (h) pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) the pyruvate dehydrogenase (E1) is bound to the E1-binding domain of dihydrolipoamide acetyltransferase (E2). The C-terminal surface of the E1beta subunit was scanned for the negatively charged residues involved in binding with E2. betaD289 of hE1 interacts with K276 of hE2 in a manner similar to the corresponding interaction in Bacillus stearothermophilus PDC. In contrast to bacterial E1beta, the C-terminal residue of the hE1beta does not participate in the binding with positively charged residues of hE2. This latter finding shows species specificity in the interaction between hE1beta and hE2 in PDC. 相似文献

Molecular weight and symmetry of the pyruvate dehydrogenase multienzyme complex of Escherichia coli.
M J Danson G Hale P Johnson R N Perham J Smith P Spragg 《Journal of molecular biology》1979,129(4):603-617
The molecular weight and polypeptide chain stoichiometry of the native pyruvate dehydrogenase multienzyme complex from Escherichia coli were determined by independent techniques. The translational diffusion coefficient (Do20,w) of the complex was measured by laser light intensity fluctuation spectroscopy and found to be 0.90 (±0.02) × 10?11m2/s. When this was combined in the Svedberg equation with the measured sedimentation coefficient (so20,w = 60.2 (±0.4) S) and partial specific volume (), the molecular weight of the intact native complex was calculated to be 6.1 (±0.3) × 106. The polypeptide chain stoichiometry (pyruvate decarboxylase: lipoate acetyltransferase: lipoamide dehydrogenase) of the same sample of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex was measured by the radioamidination technique of Bates et al. (1975) and found to be 1.56:1.0:0.78.From this stoichiometry and the published polypeptide chain molecular weights estimated by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, a minimum chemical molecular weight of 283,000 was calculated. This structure must therefore be repeated approximately 22 times to make up the native complex, a number which is in good agreement with the expected repeat of 24 times if the lipoate acetyltransferase core component has octahedral symmetry. It is consistent with what appears in the electron microscope to be trimer-clustering of the lipoate acetyltransferase chains at the corners of a cube. It rules out any structure based on 16 lipoate acetyltransferase chains comprising the enzyme core.The preparation of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex was polydisperse: in addition to the major component, two minor components with sedimentation coefficients (so20,w) of 90.3 (±0.9) S and 19.8 (±0.3) S were observed. Together they comprised about 17% of the total protein in the enzyme sample. Both were in slowly reversible equilibrium with the major 60.2 S component but appeared to be enzymically active in the whole complex reaction. The faster-sedimenting species is probably a dimer of the complex, whereas the slower-sedimenting species has the properties of an incomplete aggregate of the component enzymes of the complex based on a trimer of the lipoate acetyltransferase chain. 相似文献

Procedures are described for isolating highly purified porcine liver pyruvate and α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complexes. Rabbit serum stabilized these enzyme complexes in mitochondrial extracts, apparently by inhibiting lysosomal proteases. The complexes were purified by a three-step procedure involving fractionation with polyethylene glycol, pelleting through 12.5% sucrose, and a second fractionation under altered conditions with polyethylene glycol. Sedimentation equilibrium studies gave a molecular weight of 7.2 × 106 for the liver pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. Kinetic parameters are presented for the reaction catalyzed by the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex and for the regulatory reactions catalyzed by the pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase and pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphatase. For the overall catalytic reaction, the competitive Ki to Km ratio for NADH versus NAD+ and acetyl CoA versus CoA were 4.7 and 5.2, respectively. Near maximal stimulations of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase by NADH and acetyl CoA were observed at NADH:NAD+ and acetyl CoA:CoA ratios of 0.15 and 0.5, respectively. The much lower ratios required for enhanced inactivation of the complex by pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase than for product inhibition indicate that the level of activity of the regulatory enzyme is not directly determined by the relative affinity of substrates and products of catalytic sites in the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. In the pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase reaction, K+ and NH+4 decreased the Km for ATP and the competitive inhibition constants for ADP and (β,γ-methylene)adenosine triphosphate. Thiamine pyrophosphate strongly inhibited kinase activity. A high concentration of ADP did not alter the degree of inhibition by thiamine pyrophosphate nor did it increase the concentration of thiamine pyrophosphate required for half-maximal inhibition. 相似文献

Enhanced dissociation of pyruvate dehydrogenase from the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex following phosphorylation and regulatory implications 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
M L Pratt T E Roche D W Dyer R L Cate 《Biochemical and biophysical research communications》1979,91(1):289-296
We have shown that the active form of the pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDHa) component exhibits at least a 9-fold greater affinity for sites on the dihydrolipoyl transacetylase core of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex than does the inactive (phosphorylated) form of pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDHb). Consistent with a higher rate of dissociation for PDHb than for PDHa, free PDHa rapidly replaces PDHb whereas, even at high levels, free PDHb only slowly replaces PDHa. Dissociation of newly formed PDHb, during phosphorylation by the immobile PDHa kinase, leads to an increased association of free PDHa as observed by protection against inactivation of the complex, even though PDHa kinase activity is increased. 相似文献

Molecular biology and biochemistry of pyruvate dehydrogenase complexes 总被引:20,自引:0,他引:20
In most organisms, the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex catalyzes the pivotal irreversible reaction that leads to the consumption of glucose in the aerobic, energy-generating pathways. A combination of biochemical and molecular biology studies have greatly expanded our understanding of the overall structural organization of this multicomponent system, delineated the locations and elucidated the functions of structural domains of the catalytic components, and revealed significant evolutionary changes. Important to this progress was the deduction of the primary amino acid sequences from cDNA clones for each of the catalytic components from several species. The greatest detail is available for the FAD-containing dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase component, which is the only component for which tertiary structure information has recently emerged. For the dihydrolipoamide acetyltransferase core component, a similar but species-variable multidomain structure is established that is responsible for the distinct architectures of the inner cores, the peripheral binding of the other components, and the conveyance of reaction intermediates between distantly separated active sites. A second lipoyl-bearing component, protein X, has been shown to play a critical role in the organization and function of the complex from many higher organisms. Although much is known about the means of effector modulation of mammalian complex activity, identification of the signal eliciting its regulation by insulin still poses an exciting challenge. 相似文献

Pyruvic acid undergo decarboxylation catalyzed by a hydrophobic thiazolium salt and reacts with a hydrophobic analog of lipoic acid to form a hydrophobic acylthioester that reacts with aniline to form acetanilide in water, but only in the presence of a hydrophobically modified polyaziridine that acts to gather the reactants just as the enzyme complex does. 相似文献

We report the isolation of a 1.5 kb cDNA clone for the beta subunit of human pyruvate dehydrogenase (E1) from a human liver lambda gt11 cDNA library using anti-E1 serum. We generated a peptide sequence of 24 amino acids starting from the N-terminus of bovine heart mature E1 beta. The identity of the E1 beta cDNA clone was confirmed by the similarity between the amino acid sequence deduced from the cDNA nucleotide sequence and the known amino acid sequence of bovine heart E1 beta. In Northern analysis of total RNA extracted from human heart, the E1 beta cDNA clone hybridized to a major 1.6 kb and a minor 5.2 kb RNA species. 相似文献

Effect of mycoplasma infection on pyruvate dehydrogenase complex activity of normal and pyruvate dehydrogenase complex-deficient fibroblasts 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The fermentative mycoplasmas A. laidlawii JS, M. hyorhinis DBS-50, M. hyorhinis GDL and M. pneumoniae FH have very high apparent activities of pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) (EC 1.2.4.1) and pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHC). Infection of normal and PDHC-deficient fibroblasts with these mycoplasma species resulted in a marked increase of the specific activity of these two enzymes, and under certain conditions could conceal the enzymatic defect. The non-fermentative mycoplasmas M. salivarium VV and M. arthritidis PG-6 have very low apparent activities of these two enzymes. Normal fibroblasts infected with non-fermentative mycoplasmas could appear as deficient in these two enzymes. The degree of interference depends on the number of mycoplasmas associated with the harvested cells. Besides the mycoplasma species, this depends (1) on the duration of infection which determines mycoplasmal titers and also can have a killing effect on both host cells and/or mycoplasmas; (2) harvest of the cells by scraping or trypsinization; (3) centrifugal force used in the collection of the cells; (4) washing and the inherent mechanical treatment; and (5) other possibilities. 相似文献

The pyruvate dehydrogenase multienzyme complex (PDC) is a key regulatory point in cellular metabolism linking glycolysis to the citric acid cycle and lipogenesis. Reversible phosphorylation of the pyruvate dehydrogenase enzyme is a critical regulatory mechanism and an important point for monitoring metabolic activity. To directly determine the regulation of the PDC by phosphorylation, we developed a complete set of phospho-antibodies against the three known phosphorylation sites on the E1 alpha subunit of pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDHE1α). We demonstrate phospho-site specificity of each antibody in a variety of cultured cells and tissue extracts. In addition, we show sensitivity of these antibodies to PDH activity using the pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase-specific inhibitor dichloroacetate. We go on to use these antibodies to assess PDH phosphorylation in a patient suffering from Leigh’s syndrome. Finally, we observe changes in individual phosphorylation states following a small molecule screen, demonstrating that these reagents should be useful for monitoring phosphorylation of PDHE1α and, therefore, overall metabolism in the disease state as well as in response to a myriad of physiological and pharmacological stimuli. 相似文献
