Acetate C-C bond formation and decomposition in the anaerobic world: the structure of a central enzyme and its key active-site metal cluster

Abstract

The structure of carbon monoxide dehydrogenase/acetyl-coenzyme A synthase (CODH/ACS), a central enzyme in the anaerobic metabolism of acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA), has been solved to a resolution of 2.2A. The active-site metal cluster responsible for catalyzing acetyl C-C bond synthesis and cleavage, designated the A center, was identified as an Fe(4)S(4) iron sulfur cluster with one of its cysteine thiolates acting as a bridge to an adjacent binuclear metal site. Nickel was found at one position in the binuclear site and the other metal was indicated to be copper - a surprising result, implying a previously unrecognized role for copper. Details of the A center provided new insight into the unusual organometallic mechanism of acetyl C-C bond formation and cleavage, with substantial conformational changes indicated for binding of the large methylcorrinoid protein substrate, and a unique intramolecular channel acting to contain carbon monoxide within the protein and transfer it to the site needed for acetyl-CoA synthesis.

Anemia

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.
