Popis: | ATP-phosphoribosyltransferase (ATP-PRT) catalyses the first step of histidine biosynthesis. Two different forms of ATP-PRT have been described; the homo-hexameric long form, and the hetero-octameric short form. Lactococcus lactis possesses the short form ATP-PRT comprising four subunits of HisGS , the catalytic subunit, and four subunits of HisZ, a histidyl-tRNA synthetase paralogue. Previous studies have suggested that HisGS requires HisZ for catalysis. Here, we reveal that the dimeric HisGS does display ATP-PRT activity in the absence of HisZ. This result reflects the evolutionary relationship between the long and short form ATP-PRT, which acquired allosteric inhibition and enhanced catalysis via two divergent strategies. |
