4-AMINOBUTYRATE-AMINOTRANSFERASE INACTIVATED BY GAMMA-ETHYNYL GABA
|
OverviewOverview
Gamma-aminobutyric acid aminotransferase (GABA-AT) is a pyridoxal, 5'-phosphate-dependent enzyme responsible for the degradation of the, inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA. GABA-AT is a validated target for, antiepilepsy drugs because its selective inhibition raises GABA, concentrations in brain. The antiepilepsy drug, gamma-vinyl-GABA, (vigabatrin) has been investigated in the past by various biochemical, methods and resulted in several proposals for its mechanisms of, inactivation. In this study we solved and compared the crystal structures, of pig liver GABA-AT in its native form (to 2.3-A resolution) and in, complex with vigabatrin as well as with the close analogue, gamma-ethynyl-GABA (to 2.3 and 2.8 A, respectively). Both inactivators, form a covalent ternary adduct with the active ... [(full description)]
