Enzymes Catalyzing Crotonyl-CoA Conversion to Acetoacetyl-CoA During the Autotrophic CO(2) Fixation in Metallosphaera sedula.
-
Purified recombinant Msed_1423 oxidises (S)-3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA to acetoacetyl-CoA with NAD+, with a Km of 5 uM for the substrate.
"The purified recombinant Msed_0389 and Msed_1423 catalyzed the NAD-dependent oxidation of (S)-3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA to acetoacetyl-CoA and were highly specific for their substrate (Km 2.6 and 5 μM, respectively; Table 3)."
-
Msed_1423 is inactive with the C8 substrate (S)-3-hydroxyoctanoyl-CoA.
"Both enzymes were not active with (S)-3-hydroxyoctanoyl-CoA."
-
Its catalytic efficiency is about 20-fold higher than that of Msed_0399.
"Their kcat/Km values were 3- and 20-fold higher than the corresponding value of Msed_0399 in (S)-3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase reaction (Table 3)."
-
The gene clusters with specific HP/HB-cycle genes (Msed_1424, Msed_1426).
"This protein is clustered together with two specific enzymes of the HP/HB cycle, succinic semialdehyde reductase Msed_1424 and acryloyl-CoA reductase Msed_1426 (Figure 2B), further supporting its involvement in autotrophic CO2 fixation."
-
Msed_1423 homologs are (almost) universal in Sulfolobales and absent only from the heterotroph S. acidocaldarius.
"The only two genes that are (almost) universally distributed in Sulfolobales are the crotonase Msed_0566 gene and the dehydrogenase Msed_1423 gene"
-
Msed_1423 is the main (S)-3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase of the cycle.
"show that Msed_1423 is the main (S)-3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase in the HP/HB cycle in Sulfolobales."
-
Msed_1423 is estimated at about 1.7% of total cellular protein.
"Comparison of the activities of the characterized (S)-3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase Msed_1423 and crotonase Msed_0384 with the activities of these reactions in cell extract of M. sedula leads to the values 1.7 and 7.1% of total cellular protein, respectively."
