چکیده

Pyruvate carboxylase (PC) has important roles in metabolism and is crucial for virulence for some pathogenic bacteria. PC contains biotin carboxylase (BC), carboxyltransferase (CT) and biotin carboxyl carrier protein (BCCP) components. It is a single-chain enzyme in eukaryotes and most bacteria, and functions as a 500 kD homo-tetramer. In contrast, PC is a two-subunit enzyme in a collection of Gram-negative bacteria, with the α subunit containing the BC and the β subunit the CT and BCCP domains, and it is believed that the holoenzyme has α4β4 stoichiometry. We report here the crystal structures of a two-subunit PC from Methylobacillus flagellatus. Surprisingly, our structures reveal an α2β4 stoichiometry, and the overall architecture of the holoenzyme is strikingly different from that of the homo-tetrameric PCs. Biochemical and mutagenesis studies confirm the stoichiometry and other structural observations. Our functional studies in Pseudomonas aeruginosa show that its two-subunit PC is important for colony morphogenesis.

Mammalian pyruvate carboxylase: effect of biotin on the synthesis and translocation of apo-enzyme into 3T3-L adipocyte mitochondria.

The effect of biotin on the induction (and possible requirement for uptake into mitochondria) of apopyruvate carboxylase has been examined in 3T3-L adipocytes. Cells fed biotin-sufficient medium contained only holoenzyme in mitochondria and no apoenzyme was detected. The amount of apoenzyme elaborated in biotin-deficient 3T3-L adipocytes was comparable to the holopyruvate carboxylase protein fo...

Structure and substrate selectivity of the 750-kDa α6β6 holoenzyme of geranyl-CoA carboxylase.

Geranyl-CoA carboxylase (GCC) is essential for the growth of Pseudomonas organisms with geranic acid as the sole carbon source. GCC has the same domain organization and shares strong sequence conservation with the related biotin-dependent carboxylases 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase (MCC) and propionyl-CoA carboxylase (PCC). Here we report the crystal structure of the 750-kDa α6β6 holoenzyme o...

Elimination of the Chlamydomonas gene family that encodes the small subunit of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase.

Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/ oxygenase (EC 4.1.1.39) is the key photosynthetic enzyme that catalyzes the first step of CO2 fixation. The chloroplast-localized holoenzyme of plants and green algae contains eight nuclear-encoded small subunits and eight chloroplast-encoded large subunits. Although much has been learned about the enzyme active site that resides within each large subunit,...

Nuclear-gene mutations suppress a defect in the expression of the chloroplast-encoded large subunit of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate Carboxylase/Oxygenase

The green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii mutant 76-5EN lacks photosynthesis because of a nuclear-gene mutation that specifically inhibits expression of the chloroplast gene encoding the large subunit of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco; EC 4.1.1.39). Photosynthesis-competent revertants were selected from mutant 76-5EN to explore the possibility of increasing Rubisco expr...

Chimeric Arabidopsis thaliana ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase containing a pea small subunit protein is compromised in carbamylation.

A cDNA of pea (Pisum sativum L.) RbcS 3A, encoding a small subunit protein (S) of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco), has been expressed in Arabidopsis thaliana under control of the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter, and the transcript and mature S protein were detected. Specific antibodies revealed two protein spots for the four Arabidopsis S and one additional spot ...
