In this study, the crystal structure of Legionella pneumophila aspartate aminotransferase (Lpg0070) and its functionality were investigated. The results revealed the crucial role of the N-terminal arm in enzyme activity.
Legionella pneumophila aspartate aminotransferase (Lpg0070) is a member of the transaminase and belongs to the pyridoxal 5 '-phosphate (PLP)-dependent superfamily. It is responsible for the transfer of alpha-amino between aspartate and alpha-ketoglutarate to form glutamate and oxaloacetate. Here, we report the crystal structure of Lpg0070 at the resolution of 2.14 angstrom and 1.7 angstrom, in apo-form and PLP-bound, respectively. Our structural analysis revealed the specific residues involved in the PLP binding and free form against PLP-bound supported conformational changes before substrate recognition. In vitro enzyme activity proves that the absence of the N-terminal arm reduces the enzyme activity of Lpg0070. These data provide further evidence to support the N-terminal arm plays a crucial role in catalytic activity.
