Crystal structures of human mitochondrial 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase (hT1) in the apo form and in complex with CoA have been determined at 2.0 Å resolution. The structures confirm the tetrameric quaternary structure of this degradative thiolase. The active site is surprisingly similar to the active site of theZoogloea ramigerabiosynthetic tetrameric thiolase (PDB entries 1dm3 and 1m1o) and different from the active site of the peroxisomal dimeric degradative thiolase (PDB entries 1afw and 2iik). A cavity analysis suggests a mode of binding for the fatty-acyl tail in a tunnel lined by the Nβ2–Nα2 loop of the adjacent subunit and the Lα1 helix of the loop domain. Soaking of the apo hT1 crystals with octanoyl-CoA resulted in a crystal structure in complex with CoA owing to the intrinsic acyl-CoA thioesterase activity of hT1. Solution studies confirm that hT1 has low acyl-CoA thioesterase activity for fatty acyl-CoA substrates. The fastest rate is observed for the hydrolysis of butyryl-CoA. It is also shown that T1 has significant biosynthetic thiolase activity, which is predicted to be of physiological importance.

pMMO (particulate methane mono-oxygenase) is an integral membrane metalloenzyme that catalyses the oxidation of methane to methanol. The pMMO metal active site has not been identified, precluding detailed investigation of the reaction mechanism. Models for the metal centres proposed by various research groups have evolved as crystallographic and spectroscopic data have become available. The present review traces the evolution of these active-site models before and after the 2005 Methylococcus capsulatus (Bath) pMMO crystal structure determination.

Abstract The crystal structure of an adenylate kinase from an extremophilic archaeon Aeropyrum pernix was determined in complex with full ligands, ATP-Mg2+ and AMP, at a resolution of 2.0 Å. The protein forms a trimer as found for other adenylate kinases from archaea. Interestingly, the reacting three atoms, two phosphorus and one oxygen atoms, were located almost in line, supporting the SN2 nucleophilic substitution reaction mechanism. Based on the crystal structure obtained, the reaction coordinate was estimated by the quantum mechanics calculations combined with molecular dynamics. It was found that the reaction undergoes two energy barriers; the steps for breaking the bond between the oxygen and γ-phosphorus atoms of ATP to produce a phosphoryl fragment and creating the bond between the phosphoryl fragment and the oxygen atom of the β-phosphate group of ADP. The reaction coordinate analysis also suggested the role of amino-acid residues for the catalysis of adenylate kinase.

Promoted by K2CO3 (2.0 equiv), the 1,3-dipolar [3+3] cycloaddition between 1, 4-benzodiazepinone-based nitrones and α-halohydroxamates processed smoothly under the mild reaction conditions and delivered structurally novel and complex cis or trans-configured d-edge-heterocycle-fused 1,4-benzodiazepinones in up to >99% isolated yield with >20:1 dr. The relative configuration of the title chemical entities was clearly identified with the use of X-ray single crystal structure analysis. The reaction mechanism was assumed to interpret the diastereoselective production of the obtained cis or trans-configured d-edge-heterocycle-fused 1, 4-benzodiazepinones.
