Aminomethyltransferase, a component of the glycine cleavage system termed T-protein, reversibly catalyzes the degradation of the aminomethyl moiety of glycine attached to the lipoate cofactor of H-protein, resulting in the production of ammonia, 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate, and dihydrolipoate-bearing H-protein in the presence of tetrahydrofolate. Several mutations in the human T-protein gene are known to cause nonketotic hyperglycinemia. Here, we report the crystal structure of Escherichia coli T-protein in complex with dihydrolipoate-bearing H-protein and 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, a complex mimicking the ternary complex in the reverse reaction. The structure of the complex shows a highly interacting intermolecular interface limited to a small area and the protein-bound dihydrolipoyllysine arm inserted into the active site cavity of the T-protein. Invariant Arg292 of the T-protein is essential for complex assembly. The structure also provides novel insights in understanding the disease-causing mutations, in addition to the disease-related impairment in the cofactor-enzyme interactions reported previously. Furthermore, structural and mutational analyses suggest that the reversible transfer of the methylene group between the lipoate and tetrahydrofolate should proceed through the electron relay-assisted iminium intermediate formation. 相似文献

A new, automated, knowledge-based method for the construction of three-dimensional models of proteins is described. Geometric restraints on target structures are calculated from a consideration of homologous template structures and the wider knowledge base of unrelated protein structures. Three-dimensional structures are calculated from initial partly folded states by high-temperature molecular dynamics simulations followed slow cooling of the system (simulated annealing) using nonphysical potentials. Three-dimensional models for the biotinylated domain from the pyruvate carboxylase of yeast and the lipoylated H-protein from the glycine cleavage system of pea leaf were constructed, based on the known structures of two lipoylated domains of 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase multienzyme complexes. Despite their weak sequence similarity, the three proteins are predicted to have similar three-dimensional structures, representative of a new protein module. Implications for the mechanisms of posttranslational modification of these proteins and their catalytic function are discussed. 相似文献

Molecular phylogeny of Flaveria as deduced from the analysis of nucleotide sequences encoding the H-protein of the glycine cleavage system 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Sequence comparisons have shown that nucleotide sequences of the H-protein, a component of the glycine cleavage system, are only moderately conserved and can be used as molecular markers for intrageneric phylogenetic studies. We have analysed the respective cDNA sequences from 12 species of Flaveria, and a more limited set of gdcsH upstream regions. These data are discussed with respect to a phylogenetic reconstruction of Flaveria, a small genus which includes species of different photo-synthetic types, namely C3, C3-C4, C4-like and C4. Our analysis essentially supports an earlier hypothesis, based on morphological and eco-geographical data, of the evolution of Flaveria (Powell 1978). This close agreement shows the usefulness of H-protein nucleotide sequences at a low taxonomic level. Our analysis independently confirms that C4 photosynthesis has evolved two times in different lineages of Flaveria. Most remarkably, the C4 taxa of Flaveria appear as derived relative to the C3-C4 intermediate taxa, i.e. they probably have common direct predecessors. This is the first direct evidence for a phylo-genetically intermediate position of C3-C4 intermediate photosynthesis. Our data also confirm the antiquity of C3 photosynthesis in Flaveria but suggest that the collection of F.pringlei used in our experiments, although clearly of C3 photosynthetic metabolism, possibly originated from hybridization with a more advanced taxon. 相似文献
