Biochemical, Bioinformatic, and Structural Comparisons of Transketolases and Position of Human Transketolase in the Enzyme Evolution

Comparaisons biochimiques, bioinformatiques et structurelles des transcétolases et position de la transcétolase humaine dans l'évolution enzymatique

Résumé

Transketolases (TKs) are key enzymes of the pentose phosphate pathway, regulating several other critical pathways in cells. Considering their metabolic importance, TKs are expected to be conserved throughout evolution. However, Tittmann et al. (J Biol Chem, 2010, 285(41): 31559–31570) demonstrated that Homo sapiens TK (hsTK) possesses several structural and kinetic differences compared to bacterial TKs. Here, we study 14 TKs from pathogenic bacteria, fungi, and parasites and compare them with hsTK using biochemical, bioinformatic, and structural approaches. For this purpose, six new TK structures are solved by X-ray crystallography, including the TK of Plasmodium falciparum. All of these TKs have the same general fold as bacterial TKs. This comparative study shows that hsTK greatly differs from TKs from pathogens in terms of enzymatic activity, spatial positions of the active site, and monomer–monomer interface residues. An ubiquitous structural pattern is identified in all TKs as a six-residue histidyl crown around the TK cofactor (thiamine pyrophosphate), except for hsTK containing only five residues in the crown. Residue mapping of the monomer–monomer interface and the active site reveals that hsTK contains more unique residues than other TKs. From an evolutionary standpoint, TKs from animals (including H. sapiens) and Schistosoma sp. belong to a distinct structural group from TKs of bacteria, plants, fungi, and parasites, mostly based on a different linker between domains, raising hypotheses regarding evolution and regulation.
