Structural insights into the second step of RNA-dependent cysteine biosynthesis in archaea: crystal structure of Sep-tRNA:Cys-tRNA synthase from Archaeoglobus fulgidus.

  ABSTRACT  
 
In the ancient organisms, methanogenic archaea, lacking the canonical cysteinyl-tRNA synthetase, Cys-tRNA(Cys) is produced by an indirect pathway, in which O-phosphoseryl-tRNA synthetase ligates O-phosphoserine (Sep) to tRNA(Cys) and Sep-tRNA:Cys-tRNA synthase (SepCysS) converts Sep-tRNA(Cys) to Cys-tRNA(Cys). In this study, the crystal structure of SepCysS from Archaeoglobus fulgidus has been determined at 2.4 A resolution. SepCysS forms a dimer, composed of monomers bearing large and small domains. The large domain harbors the seven-stranded beta-sheet, which is typical of the pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP)-dependent enzymes. In the active site, which is located near the dimer interface, PLP is covalently bound to the side-chain of the conserved Lys209. In the proximity of PLP, a sulfate ion is bound by the side-chains of the conserved Arg79, His103, and Tyr104 residues. The active site is located deep within the large, basic cleft to accommodate Sep-tRNA(Cys). On the basis of the surface electrostatic potential, the amino acid residue conservation mapping, the position of the bound sulfate ion, and the substrate amino acid binding manner in other PLP-dependent enzymes, a binding model of Sep-tRNA(Cys) to SepCysS was constructed. One of the three strictly conserved Cys residues (Cys39, Cys42, or Cys247), of one subunit may play a crucial role in the catalysis in the active site of the other subunit.

The main-chain traces of subunits A and B are shown by light blue and light green tubes, respectively. The internal aldimine Lys209-PLP (cyan) and the sulfate ion are shown by ball and stick models. Hydrogen bonds are shown as pink broken lines. (b) The |F[o]–F[c]| simulated-annealing omit electron density maps (3.0σ) for Lys209-PLP and the sulfate ion are shown in blue and green, respectively. (c) The |F[o]–F[c]| simulated-annealing omit electron density maps (3.0σ) for Lys209 and the sulfate ion are shown in blue and green, respectively, in the active site of molecule B of the SeMet SepCysS structure.

The main-chain traces are colored as in Figure 7(a). The internal aldimine Lys209-PLP (cyan) and the sulfate ion are shown by ball and stick models. (b) Architecture of the CsdB active site (PDB ID, 1KMK) (stereo view). The main-chain traces are colored as in Figure 7(b). The internal aldimine Lys226-PLP and the selenocysteine are shown by cyan and pink ball and stick models, respectively. The Cys364 side-chain is perselenided. The coordinates of one of the oxygen atoms in the α-COO^− group of the selenocysteine is missing in PDB ID, 1KMK. (c) Sep-Ado76 binding model. Sep-Ado76 is shown by a pink ball and stick model.

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 code is shown on the right.
