More | TmPlsC comprises two domains: residues 1-61 create a distinctive N-terminal two-helix motif, and the C-terminal residues 62-247 form an alphabeta domain comprising a seven stranded beta-sheet core surrounded by five alpha-helices and four 310 helices. All four conserved motifs within the AGPAT family are within the alphabeta domain. The N-terminal two-helix motif comprises an anti-parallel two-helix bundle (alpga1 and alpha2). The HX4D catalytic motif is positioned in a deep cleft that is the dominant surface feature of TmPlsC | Thermotoga maritima |

General Information | Comment | Organism |

evolution | the LPAAT/PlsC enzymes belong to the evolutionarily conserved lysophospholipid acyltransferase (AGPAT) family of intrinsic membrane proteins. TmPlsC comprises two domains: residues 1-61 create a distinctive N-terminal two-helix motif, and the C-terminal residues 62-247 form an alphabeta domain comprising a seven stranded beta-sheet core surrounded by five alpha-helices and four 310 helices. All four conserved motifs within the AGPAT family are within the alphabeta domain. The N-terminal two-helix motif comprises an anti-parallel two-helix bundle (alpga1 and alpha2), structure comparisons, e.g. with soluble plant GPATs (EC 2.3.1.15), overview | Thermotoga maritima |
metabolism | phosphatidic acid is the central intermediate in membrane phospholipid synthesis and is generated by two acyltransferases in a pathway conserved in all life forms. The second step in this pathway is catalyzed by 1-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate acyltransferase, called PlsC in bacteria | Thermotoga maritima |
additional information | a two-helix motif positions the active site of lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase is required for catalysis within the membrane bilayer. The structure of PlsC shows an unusual hydrophobic/aromatic N-terminal two-helix motif linked to an acyltransferase alphabeta domain that contains the catalytic HX4D motif. Molecular dynamics simulations reveal that the two-helix motif represents a substructure that firmly anchors the protein to one leaflet of the membrane. This binding mode allows the PlsC active site to acylate lysophospholipids within the membrane bilayer using soluble acyl donors. Catalytic mechanism and substrate binding sites, overview | Thermotoga maritima |
physiological function | enzyme PlsC dictates the acyl chain composition of the 2-position of phospholipids, and the acyl chain selectivity ruler is an appropriately placed and closed hydrophobic tunnel | Thermotoga maritima |
