acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl -CoA synthase HMGCS form a complex. HMGCS catalyzes the second reaction in the mevalonate pathway. The 380-kDa crystal structure reveals that both enzymes are held together by a third protein (DUF35) with so-far-unknown function. The active-site clefts of thiolase and HMGCS form a fused CoA-binding site, which allows for efficient coupling of the endergonic thiolase reaction with the exergonic HMGCS reaction. The thiolase/HMGCS complex alone is able to convert acetyl-CoA to HMG-CoA. The tripartite complex is found in almost all archaeal genomes and in some bacterial ones | Methanothermococcus thermolithotrophicus |
sitting drop method, 18-20°C. The crystal structure of the native complex revealed a unique, shared CoA-binding site formed by both the acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl (HMG)-CoA synthase subunits thiolases (thiolases). A small scaffold protein connects the two enzymes | Methanothermococcus thermolithotrophicus |

General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
metabolism | the enzyme catalyzes a reaction in the mevalonate pathway. Mevalonate is a building block of archaeal lipids. Three enzymes are involved in its biosynthesis: acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase (thiolase), 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl (HMG)-CoA synthase (HMGCS), and HMG-CoA reductase. The thiolase reaction is highly endergonic. In the thiolase/HMGCS complex, the endergonic thiolase reaction is directly coupled to the exergonic 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl (HMG)-CoA synthase reaction. A third protein spatially connects both enzymes. The two enzymes share the same substrate-binding site. Genomic information indicates that the presence of a thiolase/HMGCS complex is common in most of archaea and many bacteria | Methanothermococcus thermolithotrophicus |
