FunctionHIS6_THEMA IGPS catalyzes the conversion of PRFAR and glutamine to IGP, AICAR and glutamate. The HisF subunit catalyzes the cyclization activity that produces IGP and AICAR from PRFAR using the ammonia provided by the HisH subunit.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01013] Publication Abstract from PubMedIt has been postulated that the ubiquitous (betaalpha)8-barrel enzyme fold has evolved by duplication and fusion of an ancestral (betaalpha)4-half-barrel. We have previously reconstructed this process in the laboratory by fusing two copies of the C-terminal half-barrel HisF-C of imidazole glycerol phosphate synthase (HisF). The resulting construct HisF-CC was stepwise stabilized to Sym1 and Sym2, which are extremely robust but catalytically inert proteins. Here, we report on the generation of a circular permutant of Sym2 and the establishment of a sugar isomerization reaction on its scaffold. Our results demonstrate that duplication and mutagenesis of (betaalpha)4-half-barrels can readily lead to a stable and catalytically active (betaalpha)8-barrel enzyme.
