AAK_AK: Amino Acid Kinase Superfamily (AAK), Aspartokinase (AK); this CD includes the N-terminal catalytic domain of aspartokinase (4-L-aspartate-4-phosphotransferase;). AK is the first enzyme in the biosynthetic pathway of the aspartate family of amino acids (lysine, threonine, methionine, and isoleucine) and the bacterial cell wall component, meso-diaminopimelate. It also catalyzes the conversion of aspartate and ATP to aspartylphosphate and ADP. One mechanism for the regulation of this pathway is by the production of several isoenzymes of aspartokinase with different repressors and allosteric inhibitors. Pairs of ACT domains are proposed to specifically bind amino acids leading to allosteric regulation of the enzyme. In Escherichia coli, three different aspartokinase isoenzymes are regulated specifically by lysine, methionine, and threonine. AK-HSDHI (ThrA) and AK-HSDHII (MetL) are bifunctional enzymes that consist of an N-terminal AK and a C-terminal homoserine dehydrogenase (HSDH). ThrA and MetL are involved in threonine and methionine biosynthesis, respectively. The third isoenzyme, AKIII (LysC), is monofunctional and is involved in lysine synthesis. The three Bacillus subtilis isoenzymes, AKI (DapG), AKII (LysC), and AKIII (YclM), are feedback-inhibited by meso-diaminopimelate, lysine, and lysine plus threonine, respectively. The E. coli lysine-sensitive AK is described as a homodimer, whereas, the B. subtilis lysine-sensitive AK is described as a heterodimeric complex of alpha- and beta- subunits that are formed from two in-frame overlapping genes. A single AK enzyme type has been described in Pseudomonas, Amycolatopsis, and Corynebacterium. The fungal aspartate pathway is regulated at the AK step, with L-Thr being an allosteric inhibitor of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae AK (Hom3). At least two distinct AK isoenzymes can occur in higher plants, one is a monofunctional lysine-sensitive isoenzyme, which is involved in the overall regulation of the pathway and can be synergistically inhibited by S-adenosylmethionine. The other isoenzyme is a bifunctional, threonine-sensitive AK-HSDH protein. Also included in this CD is the catalytic domain of the Methylomicrobium alcaliphilum ectoine AK, the first enzyme of the ectoine biosynthetic pathway, found in this bacterium, and several other halophilic/halotolerant bacteria.

These aspartokinases are found in such bacteria as E. coli (AKI-HSDHI, ThrA and AKII-HSDHII, MetL) and in higher plants (Z. mays AK-HSDH). AK and HSDH are the first and third enzymes in the biosynthetic pathway of the aspartate family of amino acids. AK catalyzes the phosphorylation of Asp to P-aspartyl phosphate. HSDH catalyzes the NADPH-dependent conversion of Asp 3-semialdehyde to homoserine. ThrA and MetL are involved in threonine and methionine biosynthesis, respectively. In E. coli, ThrA is subject to allosteric regulation by the end product L-threonine and the native enzyme is reported to be tetrameric.

In Bacillus subtilis, the regulation of the diaminopimelate-lysine biosynthetic pathway involves dual control by diaminopimelate and lysine, effected through separate diaminopimelate- and lysine-sensitive aspartokinase isoenzymes. The role of the AKI isoenzyme is most likely to provide a constant level of aspartyl-beta-phosphate for the biosynthesis of diaminopimelate for peptidoglycan synthesis and dipicolinate during sporulation.

One mechanism for the regulation of this pathway is by the production of several isoenzymes of AK with different repressors and allosteric inhibitors. Pairs of ACT domains are proposed to specifically bind amino acids leading to allosteric regulation of the enzyme. In Escherichia coli (EC), three different AK isoenzymes are regulated specifically by lysine, methionine, and threonine. AK-HSDHI (ThrA) and AK-HSDHII (MetL) are bifunctional enzymes that consist of an N-terminal AK and a C-terminal homoserine dehydrogenase (HSDH). ThrA and MetL are involved in threonine and methionine biosynthesis, respectively. The third isoenzyme, AKIII (LysC), is monofunctional and is involved in lysine synthesis. The three Bacillus subtilis (BS) isoenzymes, AKI (DapG), AKII (LysC), and AKIII (YclM), are feedback inhibited by meso-diaminopimelate, lysine, and lysine plus threonine, respectively. The E. coli lysine-sensitive AK is described as a homodimer, whereas, the B. subtilis lysine-sensitive AK is described as is a heterodimeric complex of alpha- and beta- subunits that are formed from two in-frame overlapping genes. A single AK enzyme type has been described in Pseudomonas, Amycolatopsis, and Corynebacterium, and apparently, unique to cyanobacteria, are AKs with two tandem pairs of ACT domains, C-terminal to the catalytic domain.

AK-HSDHI (ThrA) and AK-HSDHII (MetL) are bifunctional enzymes that consist of an N-terminal AK and a C-terminal homoserine dehydrogenase (HSDH). ThrA and MetL are involved in threonine and methionine biosynthesis, respectively. The third isoenzyme, AKIII (LysC), is monofunctional and is involved in lysine synthesis. The three Bacillus subtilis (BS) isoenzymes, AKI (DapG), AKII (LysC), and AKIII (YclM), are feedback inhibited by meso-diaminopimelate, lysine, and lysine plus threonine, respectively. The E. coli lysine-sensitive AK is described as a homodimer, whereas, the B. subtilis lysine-sensitive AK is described as is a heterodimeric complex of alpha- and beta- subunits that are formed from two in-frame overlapping genes. A single AK enzyme type has been described in Pseudomonas, Amycolatopsis, and Corynebacterium, and apparently, unique to cyanobacteria, are aspartokinases with two tandem pairs of ACT domains, C-terminal to the catalytic domain. The fungal aspartate pathway is regulated at the AK step, with L-Thr being an allosteric inhibitor of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae AK (Hom3). At least two distinct AK isoenzymes can occur in higher plants, a monofunctional lysine-sensitive isoenzyme, which is involved in the overall regulation of the pathway and can be synergistically inhibited by S-adenosylmethionine. The other isoenzyme is a bifunctional, threonine-sensitive AK-HSDH protein. Also included in this AK family CD are the ACT domains of the Methylomicrobium alcaliphilum AK; the first enzyme of the ectoine biosynthetic pathway found in this bacterium and several other halophilic/halotolerant bacteria. Members of this CD belong to the superfamily of ACT regulatory domains.

ACT domains of the bifunctional enzyme aspartokinase (AK) - homoserine dehydrogenase (HSDH); This CD includes the second of two ACT domains of the bifunctional enzyme aspartokinase (AK) - homoserine dehydrogenase (HSDH). The ACT domains are positioned between the N-terminal catalytic domain of AK and the C-terminal HSDH domain found in bacteria (Escherichia coli (EC) ThrA) and higher plants (Zea mays AK-HSDH). AK and HSDH are the first and third enzymes in the biosynthetic pathway of the aspartate family of amino acids. AK catalyzes the phosphorylation of Asp to P-aspartyl phosphate. HSDH catalyzes the NADPH-dependent conversion of Asp 3-semialdehyde to homoserine. HSDH is the first committed reaction in the branch of the pathway that leads to Thr and Met. In E. coli, ThrA is subject to allosteric regulation by the end product L-threonine and the native enzyme is reported to be tetrameric. As with bacteria, plant AK and HSDH are feedback inhibited by pathway end products. Maize AK-HSDH is a Thr-sensitive 180-kD enzyme. Arabidopsis AK-HSDH is an alanine-activated, threonine-sensitive enzyme whose ACT domains were shown to be involved in allosteric activation. Members of this CD belong to the superfamily of ACT regulatory domains.

ACT domains of the lysine-sensitive, aspartokinase (AK) isoenzyme AKII of Bacillus subtilis (BS) strain 168 and related domains; This CD includes the C-terminal of the two ACT domains of the lysine-sensitive, aspartokinase (AK) isoenzyme AKII of Bacillus subtilis (BS) strain 168, and the lysine plus threonine-sensitive aspartokinase of Corynebacterium glutamicum, and related sequences. In B. subtilis strain 168, the regulation of the diaminopimelate (Dap)-lysine biosynthetic pathway involves dual control by Dap and lysine, effected through separate Dap- and lysine-sensitive AK isoenzymes. The B. subtilis strain 168 AKII is induced by methionine and repressed and inhibited by lysine. Although C. glutamicum is known to contain a single AK, both the succinylase and dehydrogenase variant pathways of DAP-lysine synthesis operate simultaneously in this organism. In corynebacteria and other various Gram-positive bacteria, the DAP-lysine pathway is feedback regulated by the concerted action of lysine and threonine. Conserved residues in the ACT domains have been shown to be involved in this concerted feedback inhibition. Also included in this CD are the AKs of the extreme thermophile, Thermus thermophilus HB27, the Gram-negative obligate methylotroph, Methylophilus methylotrophus AS1, and those single AKs found in Pseudomons, C. glutamicum, and Amycolatopsis lactamdurans. B. subtilis strain 168 AKII, and the C. glutamicum, Streptomyces clavuligerus and A. lactamdurans AKs are described as tetramers consisting of two alpha and two beta subunits; the alpha (44 kD) and beta (18 kD) subunits formed by two in-phase overlapping polypeptides. This CD includes the second ACT domain C-terminal to the AK catalytic domain of the alpha subunit and the second ACT domain of the beta subunit that lacks the AK catalytic domain. Unlike the C. glutamicum AK beta subunit, which is involved in feedback regulation, the B. subtilis AKII beta subunit is not. Cyanobacteria AKs are unique to this CD and they have a unique domain architecture with two tandem pairs of ACT domains, C-terminal to the catalytic AK domain. In this CD, the second and fourth cyanobacteria AK ACT domains are present. Members of this CD belong to the superfamily of ACT regulatory domains.

In B. subtilis, the regulation of the diaminopimelate-lysine biosynthetic pathway involves dual control by diaminopimelate and lysine, effected through separate diaminopimelate- and lysine-sensitive AK isoenzymes. AKI activity is invariant during the exponential and stationary phases of growth and is not altered by addition of amino acids to the growth medium. The role of this isoenzyme is most likely to provide a constant level of aspartyl-beta-phosphate for the biosynthesis of diaminopimelate for peptidoglycan synthesis and dipicolinate during sporulation. The BS AKI is tetrameric consisting of two alpha and two beta subunits; the alpha (43 kD) and beta (17 kD) subunit formed by two in-phase overlapping genes.

The UMP kinase of Pyrococcus furiosus (Pf) is known to function as a homohexamer, with GTP and UTP being allosteric effectors. Like other related enzymes (carbamate kinase, aspartokinase, and N-acetylglutamate kinase) the E. coli and most bacterial UMPKs have a conserved, N-terminal, lysine residue proposed to function in the catalysis of the phosphoryl group transfer, whereas most archaeal UMPKs (this CD) appear to lack this residue and the Pyrococcus furiosus structure has an additional Mg ion bound to the ATP molecule which is proposed to function as the catalysis instead.

ACT domains are commonly involved in specifically binding an amino acid or other small ligand leading to regulation of the enzyme; Members of this CD belong to the superfamily of ACT regulatory domains. Pairs of ACT domains are commonly involved in specifically binding an amino acid or other small ligand leading to regulation of the enzyme. The ACT domain has been detected in a number of diverse proteins; some of these proteins are involved in amino acid and purine biosynthesis, phenylalanine hydroxylation, regulation of bacterial metabolism and transcription, and many remain to be characterized. ACT domain-containing enzymes involved in amino acid and purine synthesis are in many cases allosteric enzymes with complex regulation enforced by the binding of ligands. The ACT domain is commonly involved in the binding of a small regulatory molecule, such as the amino acids L-Ser and L-Phe in the case of D-3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase and the bifunctional chorismate mutase-prephenate dehydratase enzyme (P-protein), respectively. Aspartokinases typically consist of two C-terminal ACT domains in a tandem repeat, but the second ACT domain is inserted within the first, resulting in, what is normally the terminal beta strand of ACT2, formed from a region N-terminal of ACT1. ACT domain repeats have been shown to have nonequivalent ligand-binding sites with complex regulatory patterns such as those seen in the bifunctional enzyme, aspartokinase-homoserine dehydrogenase (ThrA). In other enzymes, such as phenylalanine hydroxylases, the ACT domain appears to function as a flexible small module providing allosteric regulation via transmission of conformational changes, these conformational changes are not necessarily initiated by regulatory ligand binding at the ACT domain itself. ACT domains are present either singularly, N- or C-terminal, or in pairs present C-terminal or between two catalytic domains. Unique to cyanobacteria are four ACT domains C-terminal to an aspartokinase domain. A few proteins are composed almost entirely of ACT domain repeats as seen in the four ACT domain protein, the ACR protein, found in higher plants; and the two ACT domain protein, the glycine cleavage system transcriptional repressor (GcvR) protein, found in some bacteria. Also seen are single ACT domain proteins similar to the Streptococcus pneumoniae ACT domain protein (uncharacterized pdb structure 1ZPV) found in both bacteria and archaea. Purportedly, the ACT domain is an evolutionarily mobile ligand binding regulatory module that has been fused to different enzymes at various times.
