Abstract:The universal enzymatic cofactor vitamin B6 can be synthesized as pyridoxal 5-phosphate (PLP) by the glutamine amidotransferase Pdx1. We show that Saccharomyces cerevisiae Pdx1 is hexameric by analytical ultracentrifugation and by crystallographic 3D structure determination. Bacterial homologues were previously reported to exist in hexamer:dodecamer equilibrium. A small sequence insertion found in yeast Pdx1 elevates the dodecamer dissociation constant when introduced into Bacillus subtilis Pdx1. Further, we demonstrate that the yeast Pdx1 C-terminus contacts an adjacent subunit, and deletion of this segment decreases enzymatic activity 3.5-fold, suggesting a role in catalysis.
