  ABSTRACT  
 
Establishment or maintenance of a persistent infection by Mycobacterium tuberculosis requires the glyoxylate pathway. This is a bypass of the tricarboxylic acid cycle in which isocitrate lyase and malate synthase (GlcB) catalyze the net incorporation of carbon during growth of microorganisms on acetate or fatty acids as the primary carbon source. The glcB gene from M. tuberculosis, which encodes malate synthase, was cloned, and GlcB was expressed in Escherichia coli. The influence of media conditions on expression in M. tuberculosis indicated that this enzyme is regulated differentially to isocitrate lyase. Purified GlcB had K(m) values of 57 and 30 microm for its substrates glyoxylate and acetyl coenzyme A, respectively, and was inhibited by bromopyruvate, oxalate, and phosphoenolpyruvate. The GlcB structure was solved to 2.1-A resolution in the presence of glyoxylate and magnesium. We also report the structure of GlcB in complex with the products of the reaction, coenzyme A and malate, solved to 2.7-A resolution. Coenzyme A binds in a bent conformation, and the details of its interactions are described, together with implications on the enzyme mechanism.

Figure 2.
Fig. 2. a, simulated-annealing omitted F[o] F[c] map of coenzyme A. The map was contoured at 3 sigma. b, the interactions between coenzyme A and GlcB. The coenzyme A is shown in white, and the carbons of the interacting amino acids are in gold. The malate and magnesium ion in the active site are also shown. c, binding of coenzyme A to the active site of GlcB. Surfaces were made around the protein atoms and colored according to the electrostatic potential, red for acidic, and blue for basic residues, and were made using the program SPOCK (66). Mg2+ in the active site is shown as a blue sphere. 		Figure 3.
Fig. 3. a, active site of the GlcB-glyoxylate binary complex. Mg2+ is held in an octahedral coordination by the carboxylate side chains of Glu-434 and Asp-462, one carboxylate oxygen, one aldehyde oxygen of glyoxylate- and two water molecules. b, active site of GlcB-malate-CoA ternary complex. A water molecule that is seen coordinating Mg2+ in GlcB-glyoxylate is replaced by the hydroxyl of malate.

The most recent references are shown first. Citation data come partly from CiteXplore and partly from an automated harvesting procedure. Note that this is likely to be only a partial list as not all journals are covered by either method. However, we are continually building up the citation data so more and more references will be included with time. Where a reference describes a PDB structure, the PDB codes are shown on the right.
