Adipose pyruvate carboxylase: amino acid sequence and domain structure deduced from cDNA sequencing.

ABSTRACT: The complete amino acid sequence of 3T3-L1 adipocyte pyruvate carboxylase (PC) [pyruvate:carbon-dioxide ligase (ADP-forming), EC 6.4.1.1] has been deduced from sequencing overlapping cDNA clones obtained from an adipocyte cDNA library constructed in the lambda Zap vector. The encoding mRNA for PC promoter contains 4067 nt, including a 3534-nt coding sequence and noncoding regions of 100 and 433 nt at the 5' and 3' ends, respectively. The biotinylated lysine of the encoded PC promoter (1178 amino acids with a calculated M(r) of apocarboxylase = 129,784) is located 35 residues from the COOH-terminal end and, as in most other biotin enzymes, is in the consensus sequence AMKM. The adipocyte PC is closely similar (53% identity) to the yeast enzyme and contains different segments that are homologous with regions from the biotin carboxylase component of Escherichia coli acetyl-CoA carboxylase, the keto acid-binding subunits of Propionibacterium shermanii oxaloacetate transcarboxylase and Klebsiella pneumoniae oxaloacetate decarboxylase, and to the biotin carboxyl-carrier protein of the bacterial biotin enzymes. In addition to the putative mitochondrial targeting signal, functional domains are readily identifiable in the sequence and are in the following order: biotin carboxylase-carboxyltransferase-biotin carboxyl-carrier protein, as proposed for yeast PC.

Project description:The catalytic mechanism of the MgATP-dependent carboxylation of biotin in the biotin carboxylase domain of pyruvate carboxylase from R. etli (RePC) is common to the biotin-dependent carboxylases. The current site-directed mutagenesis study has clarified the catalytic functions of several residues proposed to be pivotal in MgATP-binding and cleavage (Glu218 and Lys245), HCO(3)(-) deprotonation (Glu305 and Arg301), and biotin enolization (Arg353). The E218A mutant was inactive for any reaction involving the BC domain and the E218Q mutant exhibited a 75-fold decrease in k(cat) for both pyruvate carboxylation and the full reverse reaction. The E305A mutant also showed a 75- and 80-fold decrease in k(cat) for both pyruvate carboxylation and the full reverse reaction, respectively. While Glu305 appears to be the active site base which deprotonates HCO(3)(-), Lys245, Glu218, and Arg301 are proposed to contribute to catalysis through substrate binding interactions. The reactions of the biotin carboxylase and carboxyl transferase domains were uncoupled in the R353M-catalyzed reactions, indicating that Arg353 may not only facilitate the formation of the biotin enolate but also assist in coordinating catalysis between the two spatially distinct active sites. The 2.5- and 4-fold increase in k(cat) for the full reverse reaction with the R353K and R353M mutants, respectively, suggests that mutation of Arg353 allows carboxybiotin increased access to the biotin carboxylase domain active site. The proposed chemical mechanism is initiated by the deprotonation of HCO(3)(-) by Glu305 and concurrent nucleophilic attack on the ?-phosphate of MgATP. The trianionic carboxyphosphate intermediate formed reversibly decomposes in the active site to CO(2) and PO(4)(3-). PO(4)(3-) then acts as the base to deprotonate the tethered biotin at the N(1)-position. Stabilized by interactions between the ureido oxygen and Arg353, the biotin-enolate reacts with CO(2) to give carboxybiotin. The formation of a distinct salt bridge between Arg353 and Glu248 is proposed to aid in partially precluding carboxybiotin from reentering the biotin carboxylase active site, thus preventing its premature decarboxylation prior to the binding of a carboxyl acceptor in the carboxyl transferase domain.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) are widely consumed as a source of proteins and natural products. However, its yield needs to be increased. In line with the agenda of Phaseomics (an international consortium), work of expressed sequence tags (ESTs) generation from bean pods was initiated. Altogether, 5972 ESTs have been isolated. Alcohol dehydrogenase (AD) encoding gene cDNA was a noticeable transcript among the generated ESTs. This AD is an important enzyme; therefore, to understand more about it this study was undertaken. OBJECTIVE:The objective of this study was to elucidate P. vulgaris L. AD (PvAD) gene cDNA sequence and to predict the three-dimensional (3D) structure of deduced protein. MATERIALS AND METHODS:positive and negative strands of the PvAD cDNA clone were sequenced using M13 forward and M13 reverse primers to elucidate the nucleotide sequence. Deduced PvAD cDNA and protein sequence was analyzed for their basic features using online bioinformatics tools. Sequence comparison was carried out using bl2seq program, and tree-view program was used to construct a phylogenetic tree. The secondary structures and 3D structure of PvAD protein were predicted by using the PHYRE automatic fold recognition server. RESULTS:The sequencing results analysis showed that PvAD cDNA is 1294 bp in length. It's open reading frame encodes for a protein that contains 371 amino acids. Deduced protein sequence analysis showed the presence of putative substrate binding, catalytic Zn binding, and NAD binding sites. Results indicate that the predicted 3D structure of PvAD protein is analogous to the experimentally determined crystal structure of s-nitrosoglutathione reductase from an Arabidopsis species. CONCLUSIONS:The 1294 bp long PvAD cDNA encodes for 371 amino acid long protein that contains conserved domains required for biological functions of AD. The predicted deduced PvAD protein's 3D structure reflects the analogy with the crystal structure of Arabidopsis thaliana s-nitrosoglutathione reductase. Further study is required to validate the predicted structure.
