CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF BIFUNCTIONAL CARBON MONOXIDE DEHYDROGENASE/ACETYL-COA SYNTHASE(CODH/ACS) FROM MOORELLA THERMOACETICA (F. CLOSTRIDIUM THERMOACETICUM)CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF BIFUNCTIONAL CARBON MONOXIDE DEHYDROGENASE/ACETYL-COA SYNTHASE(CODH/ACS) FROM MOORELLA THERMOACETICA (F. CLOSTRIDIUM THERMOACETICUM)
Structural highlights
FunctionDCMB_MOOTH The beta subunit (this protein) generates CO from CO(2), while the alpha subunit combines the CO with CoA and a methyl group to form acetyl-CoA. The methyl group, which is incorporated into acetyl-CoA, is transferred to the alpha subunit by a corrinoid iron-sulfur protein. Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMedA metallocofactor containing iron, sulfur, copper, and nickel has been discovered in the enzyme carbon monoxide dehydrogenase/acetyl-CoA (coenzyme A) synthase from Moorella thermoacetica (f. Clostridium thermoaceticum). Our structure at 2.2 angstrom resolution reveals that the cofactor responsible for the assembly of acetyl-CoA contains a [Fe4S4] cubane bridged to a copper-nickel binuclear site. The presence of these three metals together in one cluster was unanticipated and suggests a newly discovered role for copper in biology. The different active sites of this bifunctional enzyme complex are connected via a channel, 138 angstroms long, that provides a conduit for carbon monoxide generated at the C-cluster on one subunit to be incorporated into acetyl-CoA at the A-cluster on the other subunit.
