  • PubMed Abstract: 

    X-ray crystal structures of three forms of human mitochondrial branched-chain aminotransferase (BCAT) were solved by molecular-replacement methods, using Escherichia coli BCAT as the search model. The enzyme is a homodimer and the polypeptide chain of each monomer has two domains. The small domain is composed of residues 1--175 and the large domain is composed of residues 176--365. The active site is close to the dimer interface. The 4'-aldehyde of the PLP cofactor is covalently linked to the epsilon-amino group of the active-site lysine, Lys202, via a Schiff-base linkage in two of the structures. In the third structure, the enzyme is irreversibly inactivated by Tris. The overall fold of the dimer in human mitochondrial BCAT is similar to the structure of two bacterial enzymes, E. coli BCAT and D-amino acid aminotransferase (D-AAT). The residues lining the putative substrate-binding pocket of human BCAT and D-AAT are completely rearranged to allow catalysis with substrates of opposite stereochemistry. In the case of human mitochondrial branched-chain aminotransferase, a hydrogen-bond interaction between the guanidinium group of Arg143 in the first monomer with the side-chain hydroxyl of Tyr70 in the second monomer is important in the formation of the substrate-binding pocket.
