Abstract
Tabtoxin resistance protein (TTR) is an enzyme that renders tabtoxin-producing pathogens, such as Pseudomonas syringae, tolerant to their own phytotoxins. Here, we report the crystal structure of TTR complexed with its natural cofactor, acetyl coenzyme A (AcCoA), to 1.55A resolution. The binary complex forms a characteristic "V" shape for substrate binding and contains the four motifs conserved in the GCN5-related N-acetyltransferase (GNAT) superfamily, which also includes the histone acetyltransferases (HATs). A single-step mechanism is proposed to explain the function of three conserved residues, Glu92, Asp130 and Tyr141, in catalyzing the acetyl group transfer to its substrate. We also report that TTR possesses HAT activity and suggest an evolutionary relationship between TTR and other GNAT members.

(a) A stereo view of the catalytic site showing interactions between TTR and both AcCoA and the tightly bound water molecule; GRASP surfaces showing the AcCoA-binding pocket viewed from the front (b) and back (c), respectively (color coded according to electrostatic potential: blue corresponds to 20k[B]T; white, 0k[B]T; and red, -20k[B]T). (b) The front view, with two polar regions inside the hydrophobic-binding pocket. The positive region indicated in blue corresponds to residue Lys95 and the negative region in red corresponds to residues Glu92 and Asp130. (c) The back view.
