タイトル Crystal structure of a nucleotide-binding domain of fatty acid kinase FakA from Thermus thermophilus HB8.
ジャーナル J Struct Biol
Abstract Fatty acid kinase is necessary for the incorporation of exogenous fatty acids into membrane phospholipids. Fatty acid kinase consists of two components: a kinase component, FakA, that phosphorylates a fatty acid bound to a fatty acid-binding component, FakB. However, the molecular details underlying the phosphotransfer reaction remain to be resolved. We determined the crystal structure of the N-terminal domain of FakA bound to ADP from Thermus thermophilus HB8. The overall structure of this domain showed that the helical barrel fold is similar to the nucleotide-binding component of dihydroxyacetone kinase. The structure of the nucleotide-binding site revealed the roles of the conserved residues in recognition of ADP and Mg2+, but the N-terminal domain of FakA lacked the ADP-capping loop found in the dihydroxyacetone kinase component. Based on the structural similarity to the two subunits of dihydroxyacetone kinase complex, we constructed a model of the complex of T. thermophilus FakB and the N-terminal domain of FakA. In this model, the invariant Arg residue of FakB occupied a position that was spatially similar to that of the catalytically important Arg residue of dihydroxyacetone kinase, which predicted a composite active site in the Fatty acid kinase complex.
