Structure of zebra fish HIUase: insights into evolution of an enzyme to a hormone transporter.

Abstract:

During early vertebrate evolution, a duplication event in the gene encoding 5-hydroxyisourate hydrolase (HIUase), a widely distributed enzyme of purine metabolism, gave rise to transthyretin (TTR), a thyroid hormone transporter. We report here on the crystal structure of zebra fish HIUase in two different crystal forms. Despite the phylogenetic distance, this structure compares well with those of newly characterized bacterial HIUases, especially with regard to catalytic regions, which are highly preserved. Comparison with TTR structure reveals a highly conserved scaffold, harbouring distinct functional sites located in the same regions of the two vertebrate proteins. Residues that are differentially conserved in HIUases compared to TTR map in putative catalytic regions occupying significant portions of the two halves of a central channel that transverses the whole TTR protein. The evolution of TTR has been accompanied by remarkable changes of the HIUase active sites that gave rise to a channel open at both ends, thus allowing free access to hormone molecules.

Evidence Evidence demonstrating that the participating proteins are unstructured prior to the interaction and their folding is coupled to binding.

Representative domain in related structures: HIUase/Transthyretin family

Evidence level: Direct evidence

Evidence coverage: The full structure participates in mutual synergistic folding.

Complex Evidence:

The protein belongs to the 5-hydroxyisourate hydrolase (HIUase)/transthyretin protein family. Accordingly, the complex adopts a transthyterin-like fold (based on Pfam entry PF00576.18 and the publication PMID:16952372). Transthyretin was shown in calorimetrics experiments to follow two-state folding/binding kinetics with the emergence of structure being linked to oligomerization (PMID:11152276).

Related Structure(s) Structures from the PDB that contain the same number of proteins, and the proteins from the two structures show a sufficient degree of pairwise similarity, i.e. they belong to the same UniRef90 cluster (the full proteins exhibit at least 90% sequence identity) and convey roughly the same region to their respective interactions (the two regions from the two proteins share a minimum of 70% overlap).
