Disease relevance of hisC

 

High impact information on hisC

 

Biological context of hisC

  • The complete nucleotide sequence of the hisC gene has been determined [1].
  • The crystal structures of native HspAT and its complexes with Hsp and N-(5'-phosphopyridoxyl)-L-glutamate have been solved and refined to R-factors of 19.7, 19.1, and 17.8% at 2.0, 2.2, and 2.3 A resolution, respectively [3].
 

Associations of hisC with chemical compounds

  • The seventh step in the synthesis of histidine within eubacteria is carried out by a pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (PLP)-dependent l-histidinol phosphate aminotransferase (HisC, EC 2.6.1.9) [4].
  • HspAT catalyzes the transfer of the amino group of L-histidinol phosphate (Hsp) to 2-oxoglutarate to form imidazole acetol phosphate (IAP) and glutamate [3].
  • 6. These data indicate that the strain of the Schiff base is the principal factor to decrease the pK(a) in HPAT and is crucial for the subsequent increase in the Schiff base pK(a) during catalysis, although the electrostatic effect of the arginine residue that binds the negatively charged group of the substrate is larger in HPAT than that in AspAT [5].
  • Histidinol phosphate aminotransferase (HPAT) is a pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP)-dependent aminotransferase classified into Subgroup I aminotransferase, in which aspartate aminotransferase (AspAT) is the prototype [5].
