DiseaseSUCHY_HUMAN Glutaric acidemia type 3. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. FunctionSUCHY_HUMAN Catalyzes the succinyl-CoA-dependent conversion of glutarate to glutaryl-CoA. Can use different dicarboxylic acids as CoA acceptors, the preferred ones are glutarate, succinate, adipate, and 3-hydroxymethylglutarate.[1] Publication Abstract from PubMedGlutaric Aciduria Type 1 (GA1) is a serious inborn error of metabolism with no pharmacological treatments. A novel strategy to treat this disease is to divert the toxic biochemical intermediates to less toxic or nontoxic metabolites. Here, we report a putative novel target, succinyl-CoA:glutarate-CoA transferase (SUGCT), which we hypothesize suppresses the GA1 metabolic phenotype through decreasing glutaryl-CoA and the derived 3-hydroxyglutaric acid. SUGCT is a type III CoA transferase that uses succinyl-CoA and glutaric acid as substrates. We report the structure of SUGCT, develop enzyme- and cell-based assays, and identify valsartan and losartan carboxylic acid as inhibitors of the enzyme in a high-throughput screen of FDA-approved compounds. The cocrystal structure of SUGCT with losartan carboxylic acid revealed a novel pocket in the active site and further validated the high-throughput screening approach. These results may form the basis for the future development of new pharmacological intervention to treat GA1.
