Substrate-induced closure of the flap domain in the ternary complex structures provides insights into the mechanism of catalysis by 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase.
3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase is the rate-limiting enzyme and the first committed step in the biosynthesis of cholesterol in mammals. We have determined the crystal structures of two nonproductive ternary complexes of HMG-CoA reductase, HMG-CoA/NAD+ and mevalonate/NADH, at 2.8 A resolution. In the structure of the Pseudomonas mevalonii apoenzyme, the last 50 residues of the...
متن کاملEnzymes involved in acetoacetate formation in various bovine tissues.
1. The activities of acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase, hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA synthase and lyase and acetoacetyl-CoA deacylase were measured in homogenates of samples of liver, rumen epithelium (long papillae), kidney and lactating mammary gland derived from slaughtered cows. 2. The activities of the four enzymes in bovine liver were similar to the activities previously reported for the correspondin...
متن کاملCrystal structures of murine carnitine acetyltransferase in ternary complexes with its substrates.
Carnitine acyltransferases catalyze the reversible exchange of acyl groups between coenzyme A (CoA) and carnitine. They have important roles in many cellular processes, especially the oxidation of long-chain fatty acids in the mitochondria for energy production, and are attractive targets for drug discovery against diabetes and obesity. To help define in molecular detail the catalytic mechanism...
متن کاملCrystal structure of the catalytic portion of human HMG-CoA reductase: insights into regulation of activity and catalysis.
3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMGR) catalyzes the formation of mevalonate, the committed step in the biosynthesis of sterols and isoprenoids. The activity of HMGR is controlled through synthesis, degradation and phosphorylation to maintain the concentration of mevalonate-derived products. In addition to the physiological regulation of HMGR, the human enzyme has been targeted success...
متن کاملCharacterization of the hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA lyase precursor, a protein targeted to peroxisomes and mitochondria.
We previously showed that human liver hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) lyase (HL; EC 4.1.3.4) is found in both mitochondria and peroxisomes. HL contains a 27-residue N-terminal mitochondrial targeting sequence which in cleaved on mitochondrial entry, as well as a C-terminal Cys-Lys-Leu peroxisomal targeting motif. Because peroxisomal HL has a greater molecular mass and more basic pI value th...
