Comments
This enzyme is composed of the N-terminal transmembrane domain, linker region, and the C-terminal catalytic domains. Tertiary structures have been solved for the C-terminal catalytic domains (see [7]).
HMG-CoA reductase from Pseudomonas mevalonii, which does not have transmembrane domain, is homologous to this enzyme (EC 1.1.1.88; D00607 in EzCatDB). The active site of this enzyme is similar to that of the counterpart enzyme, but slightly different. Therefor the catalytic reaction is also similar but slightly different from that of the homologous enzyme.
According to the literature [13], [19] and [20], this enzyme catalyzes the following reactions:
(A) Hydride transfer from NADPH to HMG-CoA, forming the first intermediate, Mevaldyl-CoA (I00101):
(A0) Asp767 may modulate the charge/activity of Glu559 and Lys691. (Asp767 raise the pKa of Glu559 so that it could be protonated.)
(A1) Hydride transfer occurs from nicotinamide group of NADPH to the carbonyl carbon of the substrate HMG-CoA. Simultaneously, Lys691 and the protonated Glu559 stabilizes the negative charge on the oxygen during the formation of Mevaldyl-CoA.
(B) Eliminative double-bond formation; Elimination of CoASH from Mevaldyl-CoA, forming the second intermediate, Mevaldehyde (I00102):
(B0) Asp767 may modulate the charge/activity of Glu559 and Lys691.
(B1) Glu559 and Lys691 stabilizes the negative charge on the oxygen atom of the intermediate.
(B2) His866 on the C-terminal movable domain acts as general acid to protonate the sulfur atom (or thioanion) of the eliminated group, CoA, to complete the reaction. This elimination reaction seems to be E1cB-like reaction.
(C) Hydride transfer from NADPH to Mevaldehyde, forming product, Mevalonate:
(C0) Asp767 may modulate the charge/activity of Glu559 and Lys691.
(C1) Lys691 acts as a general acid to protonate the carbonyl oxygen of Mevaldehyde. At the same time, hydride transfer occurs from nicotinamide group of NADH to the carbonyl carbon of Mevaldehyde.
