L-Histidinol DehydrogenaseL-Histidinol Dehydrogenase
The enzyme l-histidinol dehydrogenase (HisD) Basic information, current knowledge of areas found, etc. Structural
Overall StructureOverall Structure
HisD is a homodimer, with each subunit consisting of a globule segment, and an extending tail. The two larger domains (1 and 2) are within the globule, and domains 3 and 4 are found in the tail. The cores of both domains (residues 124–236 in domain 1 & 237–381 in domain 2) adopt incomplete Rossmann folds, which lack the last strand-helix hairpin[1]. To carry out its function, HisD relies on the presence of one Zn2+ cation per monomer, not for catalysis, but for substrate binding. The Zn2+ cation is located at the bottom of the cavity occupied by the substrate and is octahedrally coordinated by four seperate residues. Along with Zn, the coordination of the substrate in the active site is assisted by the large degree of secondary structure present in the protein. The substrate binds in a deep pocket formed at the dimer interface between domains 1, 2, and 4, with most interactions being with residues at the N-terminal end of the β-sheet found within domain 2. Large amounts of secondary structure both in the form of and are present, and serve to provide a base for the overall structure of the molecule.
Enzymatic mechanismEnzymatic mechanism
The mechanism currently proposed by Teng and Grubmeyer[2] has been supported by structural data, and begins with the extraction of one proton and one hydride from L-histidinol[1].

Domain swappingDomain swapping
Domains 1 and 2 show high similarity in their cores, in a structural way rather than having large amounts of residues in common[1]. This is also evident in the presense of hydrophobic residues forming the core of the domains.
Domain SwappingDomain Swapping
Dimer formation most likely involves swapping of domains 3 and 4 between the two monomers, which explains the large amount of surface area (approximately 90%) buried upon dimerization. This type of domain swapping has been observed in other proteins as well[3].
