Succinyl-CoA:3-ketoacid CoA transferase (SCOT) plays a crucial role in ketone-body metabolism. SCOT from Drosophila melanogaster (DmSCOT) was purified and crystallized. The crystal structure of DmSCOT was determined at 2.64 Å resolution and belonged to space group P212121, with unit-cell parameters a=76.638, b=101.921, c=122.457 Å, α=β=γ=90°. Sequence alignment and structural analysis identified DmSCOT as a class I CoA transferase. Compared with Acetobacter aceti succinyl-CoA:acetate CoA transferase, DmSCOT has a different substrate-binding pocket, which may explain the difference in their substrate specificities.
琥珀酰辅酶A:3-酮酸辅酶A转移酶(SCOT)在酮体代谢中起关键作用。对黑腹果蝇的SCOT(DmSCOT)进行了纯化和结晶。DmSCOT的晶体结构在2.64 Å分辨率下测定,属于空间群P212121,晶胞参数a = 76.638、b = 101.921、c = 122.457 Å,α = β = γ = 90°。序列比对和结构分析确定DmSCOT为I类辅酶A转移酶。与醋酸醋杆菌琥珀酰辅酶A:乙酸辅酶A转移酶相比,DmSCOT具有不同的底物结合口袋,这可能解释了它们底物特异性的差异。
