STRUCTURE OF THE E.COLI ATP-PHOSPHORIBOSYLTRANSFERASE
OverviewOverview
ATP-phosphoribosyltransferase (ATP-PRT), the first enzyme of the histidine, pathway, is a complex allosterically regulated enzyme, which controls the, flow of intermediates through this biosynthetic pathway. The crystal, structures of Escherichia coli ATP-PRT have been solved in complex with, the inhibitor AMP at 2.7A and with product PR-ATP at 2.9A (the, ribosyl-triphosphate could not be resolved). On the basis of binding of, AMP and PR-ATP and comparison with type I PRTs, the PRPP and parts of the, ATP-binding site are identified. These structures clearly identify the AMP, as binding in the 5-phosphoribosyl-alpha-1-pyrophosphate (PRPP)-binding, site, with the adenosine ring occupying the ATP-binding site. Comparison, with the recently solved Mycobacterium tuberculosis ATP-PRT structures, indicates that histidine is solely responsible for the large, conformational changes observed between the hexameric forms of the enzyme., The role of oligomerisation in inhibition and the structural basis for the, synergistic inhibition by histidine and AMP are discussed.
