چکیده انگلیسی
Aconitase catalyzes a reversible isomerization of citrate into isocitrate in the Krebs cycle. Escherichia coli possesses two kinds of aconitases, aconitase A (AcnA) and B (AcnB), whose structural organizations are different. We analyzed the structural state of AcnA by the chemical crosslinking and small-angle X-ray scattering. The protein adopts a homodimer in solution, as AcnB does. The catalytic assay of the two aconitases revealed that the isomerization of isocitrate displayed a negative cooperativity of the two active sites within each homodimer. On the other hand, insignificant cooperativity was observed in the reverse reaction. Therefore, the homodimerization of AcnAB yields a substrate-dependent cooperative effect. In conjunction with the dissociable homodimer of AcnB, the catalytic property could affect the intracellular metabolic process involving the Krebs cycle.
