Tartryl-CoA inhibits succinyl-CoA synthetase.

ABSTRACT: Succinyl-CoA synthetase (SCS) catalyzes the only substrate-level phosphorylation step in the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Human GTP-specific SCS (GTPSCS), an αβ-heterodimer, was produced in Escherichia coli. The purified protein crystallized from a solution containing tartrate, CoA and magnesium chloride, and a crystal diffracted to 1.52 Å resolution. Tartryl-CoA was discovered to be bound to GTPSCS. The CoA portion lies in the amino-terminal domain of the α-subunit and the tartryl end extends towards the catalytic histidine residue. The terminal carboxylate binds to the phosphate-binding site of GTPSCS.

Succinyl-CoA Synthetase: New Antigen Candidate of Bartonella bacilliformis.

Project description:BackgroundBartonella bacilliformis is the causative agent of Carrion's disease, a neglected illness with mortality rates of 40-85% in the absence of treatment. The lack of a diagnostic technique to overcome misdiagnosis and treat asymptomatic carriers is of note. This study aimed to identify new B. bacilliformis antigenic candidates that could lead to a new diagnostic tool able to be implemented in endemic rural areas.Methodology/principal findingsBlood (n = 198) and serum (n = 177) samples were collected in northern Peru. Clinical data were recorded. Specific 16S rRNA amplification by RT-PCR, IFA and ELISA for IgM/IgG with whole cells as antigens was done. Western blot analysis and N-terminal amino acid sequencing detected seroreactive proteins. ELISAs for IgM/IgG for the antigenic candidates were performed. Of the population 33.3% reported at least one symptom compatible with Carrion's disease; 25.4% (IFA), 27.1% (ELISA-IgG), 33.9% (ELISA-IgM) and 38.9% (RT-PCR) of samples were positive. Four proteins were considered potential antigenic candidates, including two new antigenic candidates, succinyl-CoA synthetase subunit α (SCS-α) and succinyl-CoA synthetase subunit β (SCS-β). On Western blot both Pap31 and SCS-α interacted with IgM, while GroEL and SCS-β interacted with IgG. The presence of specific antibodies against the antigenic candidates varied from 34.5% (IgG against SCS-α) to 97.2% (IgM against Pap31).Conclusions/significanceRT-PCR and the high levels of positivity for specific ELISAs demonstrate high levels of B. bacilliformis exposure and asymptomatic carriers among inhabitants. The new antigens identified might be used as a new rapid diagnostic tool to diagnose acute Carrion's disease and identify asymptomatic carriers.

Localization and nucleotide specificity of Blastocystis succinyl-CoA synthetase.

Project description:The anaerobic lifestyle of the intestinal parasite Blastocystis raises questions about the biochemistry and function of its mitochondria-like organelles. We have characterized the Blastocystis succinyl-CoA synthetase (SCS), a tricarboxylic acid cycle enzyme that conserves energy by substrate-level phosphorylation. We show that SCS localizes to the enigmatic Blastocystis organelles, indicating that these organelles might play a similar role in energy metabolism as classic mitochondria. Although analysis of residues inside the nucleotide-binding site suggests that Blastocystis SCS is GTP-specific, we demonstrate that it is ATP-specific. Homology modelling, followed by flexible docking and molecular dynamics simulations, indicates that while both ATP and GTP fit into the Blastocystis SCS active site, GTP is destabilized by electrostatic dipole interactions with Lys 42 and Lys 110, the side-chains of which lie outside the nucleotide-binding cavity. It has been proposed that residues in direct contact with the substrate determine nucleotide specificity in SCS. However, our results indicate that, in Blastocystis, an electrostatic gatekeeper controls which ligands can enter the binding site.

Second distinct conformation of the phosphohistidine loop in succinyl-CoA synthetase.

Project description:Succinyl-CoA synthetase (SCS) catalyzes a reversible reaction that is the only substrate-level phosphorylation in the citric acid cycle. One of the essential steps for the transfer of the phosphoryl group involves the movement of the phosphohistidine loop between active site I, where CoA, succinate and phosphate bind, and active site II, where the nucleotide binds. Here, the first crystal structure of SCS revealing the conformation of the phosphohistidine loop in site II of the porcine GTP-specific enzyme is presented. The phosphoryl transfer bridges a distance of 29 Å between the binding sites for phosphohistidine in site I and site II, so these crystal structures support the proposed mechanism of catalysis by SCS. In addition, a second succinate-binding site was discovered at the interface between the α- and β-subunits of SCS, and another magnesium ion was found that interacts with the side chains of Glu141β and Glu204β via water-mediated interactions. These glutamate residues interact with the active-site histidine residue when it is bound in site II.

Succinyl-CoA synthetase is a phosphate target for the activation of mitochondrial metabolism.

Project description:Succinyl-CoA synthetase (SCS) is the only mitochondrial enzyme capable of ATP production via substrate level phosphorylation in the absence of oxygen, but it also plays a key role in the citric acid cycle, ketone metabolism, and heme synthesis. Inorganic phosphate (P(i)) is a signaling molecule capable of activating oxidative phosphorylation at several sites, including NADH generation and as a substrate for ATP formation. In this study, it was shown that P(i) binds the porcine heart SCS alpha-subunit (SCSalpha) in a noncovalent manner and enhances its enzymatic activity, thereby providing a new target for P(i) activation in mitochondria. Coupling 32P labeling of intact mitochondria with SDS gel electrophoresis revealed that 32P labeling of SCSalpha was enhanced in substrate-depleted mitochondria. Using mitochondrial extracts and purified bacterial SCS (BSCS), we showed that this enhanced 32P labeling resulted from a simple binding of 32P, not covalent protein phosphorylation. The ability of SCSalpha to retain its 32P throughout the SDS denaturing gel process was unique over the entire mitochondrial proteome. In vitro studies also revealed a P(i)-induced activation of SCS activity by more than 2-fold when mitochondrial extracts and purified BSCS were incubated with millimolar concentrations of P(i). Since the level of 32P binding to SCSalpha was increased in substrate-depleted mitochondria, where the matrix P(i) concentration is increased, we conclude that SCS activation by P(i) binding represents another mitochondrial target for the P(i)-induced activation of oxidative phosphorylation and anaerobic ATP production in energy-limited mitochondria.

The structure of succinyl-CoA synthetase bound to the succinyl-phosphate intermediate clarifies the catalytic mechanism of ATP-citrate lyase.

Project description:Succinyl-CoA synthetase (SCS) catalyzes a three-step reaction in the citric acid cycle with succinyl-phosphate proposed as a catalytic intermediate. However, there are no structural data to show the binding of succinyl-phosphate to SCS. Recently, the catalytic mechanism underlying acetyl-CoA production by ATP-citrate lyase (ACLY) has been debated. The enzyme belongs to the family of acyl-CoA synthetases (nucleoside diphosphate-forming) for which SCS is the prototype. It was postulated that the amino-terminal portion catalyzes the full reaction and the carboxy-terminal portion plays only an allosteric role. This interpretation was based on the partial loss of the catalytic activity of ACLY when Glu599 was mutated to Gln or Ala, and on the interpretation that the phospho-citryl-CoA intermediate was trapped in the 2.85 Å resolution structure from cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM). To better resolve the structure of the intermediate bound to the E599Q mutant, the equivalent mutation, E105αQ, was made in human GTP-specific SCS. The structure of the E105αQ mutant shows succinyl-phosphate bound to the enzyme at 1.58 Å resolution when the mutant, after phosphorylation in solution by Mg2+-ATP, was crystallized in the presence of magnesium ions, succinate and desulfo-CoA. The E105αQ mutant is still active but has a specific activity that is 120-fold less than that of the wild-type enzyme, with apparent Michaelis constants for succinate and CoA that are 50-fold and 11-fold higher, respectively. Based on this high-resolution structure, the cryo-EM maps of the E599Q ACLY complex reported previously should have revealed the binding of citryl-phosphate and CoA and not phospho-citryl-CoA.

Biochemical and structural characterization of the GTP-preferring succinyl-CoA synthetase from Thermus aquaticus.

Project description:Succinyl-CoA synthetase (SCS) from Thermus aquaticus was characterized biochemically via measurements of the activity of the enzyme and determination of its quaternary structure as well as its stability and refolding properties. The enzyme is most active between pH 8.0 and 8.4 and its activity increases with temperature to about 339 K. Gel-filtration chromatography and sedimentation equilibrium under native conditions demonstrated that the enzyme is a heterotetramer of two α-subunits and two β-subunits. The activity assays showed that the enzyme uses either ADP/ATP or GDP/GTP, but prefers GDP/GTP. This contrasts with Escherichia coli SCS, which uses GDP/GTP but prefers ADP/ATP. To understand the nucleotide preference, T. aquaticus SCS was crystallized in the presence of GDP, leading to the determination of the structure in complex with GDP-Mn(2+). A water molecule and Pro20β in T. aquaticus take the place of Gln20β in pig GTP-specific SCS, interacting well with the guanine base and other residues of the nucleotide-binding site. This leads to the preference for GDP/GTP, but does not hinder the binding of ADP/ATP.

Novel reaction of succinyl coenzyme A (Succinyl-CoA) synthetase: activation of 3-sulfinopropionate to 3-sulfinopropionyl-CoA in Advenella mimigardefordensis strain DPN7T during degradation of 3,3'-dithiodipropionic acid.

Project description:The sucCD gene of Advenella mimigardefordensis strain DPN7(T) encodes a succinyl coenzyme A (succinyl-CoA) synthetase homologue (EC 6.2.1.4 or EC 6.2.1.5) that recognizes, in addition to succinate, the structural analogues 3-sulfinopropionate (3SP) and itaconate as substrates. Accumulation of 3SP during 3,3'-dithiodipropionic acid (DTDP) degradation was observed in Tn5::mob-induced mutants of A. mimigardefordensis strain DPN7(T) disrupted in sucCD and in the defined deletion mutant A. mimigardefordensis ΔsucCD. These mutants were impaired in growth with DTDP and 3SP as the sole carbon source. Hence, it was proposed that the succinyl-CoA synthetase homologue in A. mimigardefordensis strain DPN7(T) activates 3SP to the corresponding CoA-thioester (3SP-CoA). The putative genes coding for A. mimigardefordensis succinyl-CoA synthetase (SucCD(Am)) were cloned and heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3)/pLysS. Purification and characterization of the enzyme confirmed its involvement during degradation of DTDP. 3SP, the cleavage product of DTDP, was converted into 3SP-CoA by the purified enzyme, as demonstrated by in vitro enzyme assays. The structure of 3SP-CoA was verified by using liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry. SucCD(Am) is Mg²⁺ or Mn²⁺ dependent and unspecific regarding ATP or GTP. In kinetic studies the enzyme showed highest enzyme activity and substrate affinity with succinate (V(max) = 9.85 ± 0.14 μmol min⁻¹ mg⁻¹, K(m) = 0.143 ± 0.001 mM). In comparison to succinate, activity with 3SP was only ca. 1.2% (V(max) = 0.12 ± 0.01 μmol min⁻¹ mg⁻¹) and the affinity was 6-fold lower (K(m) = 0.818 ± 0.046 mM). Based on the present results, we conclude that SucCD(Am) is physiologically associated with the citric acid cycle but is mandatory for the catabolic pathway of DTDP and its degradation intermediate 3SP.

Engineering Nucleotide Specificity of Succinyl-CoA Synthetase in Blastocystis: The Emerging Role of Gatekeeper Residues.

Project description:Charged, solvent-exposed residues at the entrance to the substrate binding site (gatekeeper residues) produce electrostatic dipole interactions with approaching substrates, and control their access by a novel mechanism called "electrostatic gatekeeper effect". This proof-of-concept study demonstrates that the nucleotide specificity can be engineered by altering the electrostatic properties of the gatekeeper residues outside the binding site. Using Blastocystis succinyl-CoA synthetase (SCS, EC 6.2.1.5), we demonstrated that the gatekeeper mutant (ED) resulted in ATP-specific SCS to show high GTP specificity. Moreover, nucleotide binding site mutant (LF) had no effect on GTP specificity and remained ATP-specific. However, via combination of the gatekeeper mutant with the nucleotide binding site mutant (ED+LF), a complete reversal of nucleotide specificity was obtained with GTP, but no detectable activity was obtained with ATP. This striking result of the combined mutant (ED+LF) was due to two changes; negatively charged gatekeeper residues (ED) favored GTP access, and nucleotide binding site residues (LF) altered ATP binding, which was consistent with the hypothesis of the "electrostatic gatekeeper effect". These results were further supported by molecular modeling and simulation studies. Hence, it is imperative to extend the strategy of the gatekeeper effect in a different range of crucial enzymes (synthetases, kinases, and transferases) to engineer substrate specificity for various industrial applications and substrate-based drug design.

Cloning, expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of Thermus aquaticus succinyl-CoA synthetase.

Project description:Succinyl-CoA synthetase (SCS) is an enzyme of the citric acid cycle and is thus found in most species. To date, there are no structures available of SCS from a thermophilic organism. To investigate how the enzyme adapts to higher temperatures, SCS from Thermus aquaticus was cloned, overexpressed, purified and crystallized. Attempts to crystallize the enzyme were thwarted by proteolysis of the beta-subunit and preferential crystallization of the truncated form. Crystals of full-length SCS were grown after the purification protocol was modified to include frequent additions of protease inhibitors. The resulting crystals, which diffract to 2.35 A resolution, are of the protein in complex with Mn2+-GDP.
