Tryptophan-dependent IAA biosynthesis participates in IAA homeostasis by producing IAA via two sequential reactions, which involve a conversion of tryptophan to indole-3-pyruvic acid (IPyA) by tryptophan aminotransferase (TAA1) followed by the irreversible formation of IAA in the second reaction. Pad-1 from Solanaceae plants regulates IAA levels by catalyzing a reverse reaction of the first step of IAA biosynthesis. Pad-1 is a pyridoxal phosphate (PLP)-dependent aminotransferase, with IPyA as the amino acceptor and l-glutamine as the amino donor. Currently, the structural and functional basis for the substrate specificity of Pad-1 remains poorly understood. In this study, we carried out structural and kinetic analyses of Pad-1 from Solanum melongena. Pad-1 is a homodimeric enzyme, with coenzyme PLP present between a central large alpha/beta domain and a protruding small domain. The active site of Pad-1 includes a vacancy near the phosphate group (P-side) and the 3'-O (O-side) of PLP. These features are distinct from those of TAA1, which is homologous in an overall structure with Pad-1 but includes only the P-side region in the active site. Kinetic analysis suggests that P-side residues constitute a binding pocket for l-glutamine, and O-side residues of Phe124 and Ile350 are involved in the binding of IPyA. These studies illuminate distinct differences in the active site between Pad-1 and TAA1, and provide structural and functional insights into the substrate specificity of Pad-1.
