RimL- Ribosomal L7/L12 alpha-N-protein acetyltransferase in complex with Coenzyme A (CoA-Cys134 Disulfide)
|
OverviewOverview
RimL is responsible for converting the prokaryotic ribosomal protein from, L12 to L7 by acetylation of its N-terminal amino group. We demonstrate, that purified RimL is capable of posttranslationally acetylating L12, exhibiting a V(max) of 21 min(-1). We have also determined the, apostructure of RimL from Salmonella typhimurium and its complex with, coenzyme A, revealing a homodimeric oligomer with structural similarity to, other Gcn5-related N-acetyltransferase superfamily members. A large, central trough located at the dimer interface provides sufficient room to, bind both L12 N-terminal helices. Structural and biochemical analysis, indicates that RimL proceeds by single-step transfer rather than a, covalent-enzyme intermediate. This is the first structure of a, Gcn5-related N-acetyltransferase family member with demonstrated activity, toward a protein N(alpha)-amino group and is a first step toward, understanding the molecular basis for N(alpha)acetylation and its function, in cellular regulation.
