G216R | site-directed mutagenesis, the mutant displays structural alterations mainly related to the apoform and consisting of an altered tertiary and quaternary structure, it also shows a strongly reduced catalytic efficiency | Homo sapiens |
G42E | site-directed mutagenesis, the mutant displays structural alterations mainly related to the apoform and consisting of an altered tertiary and quaternary structure | Homo sapiens |
G63R | site-directed mutagenesis, the mutant displays structural alterations mainly related to the apoform and consisting of an altered tertiary and quaternary structure | Homo sapiens |
I56N | site-directed mutagenesis, the mutant displays structural alterations mainly related to the apoform and consisting of an altered tertiary and quaternary structure. The I56N mutation destabilizes the apo-WT-AGT quaternary structure, an effect possibly caused by the substitution of Ile56 to ASN interferes with interchain hydrophobic interactions between Ile56 and Leu18 and Ile20 of the other subunit | Homo sapiens |
additional information | analysis of the effects of pathogenic interfacial mutations by combining bioinformatic predictions with molecular and cellular studies on selected variants (R36H, G42E, I56N, G63R, and G216R) in both their holo- (i.e. with bound PLP) and apo- (i.e. without bound PLP) form. All variants display structural alterations mainly related to the apoform and consisting of an altered tertiary and quaternary structure. Possible inverse correlation between the degree of destabilization/misfolding induced by a mutation and the extent of B6 responsiveness. More than 150 pathogenic mutations on the AGXT gene have been identified to date. Structure-function analysis of wild-type and mutant enzymes, overview | Homo sapiens |

homodimer | structure modeling with monomer-monomer interface and active site, overview | Homo sapiens |
More | dimerization is considered a crucial event, because it is supposed to influence the overall stability of the protein as well as its intracellular fate, including, in particular, the correct peroxisomal localization.

pyridoxal 5'-phosphate | cofactor binding and kinetics of wild-type and mutant enzymes, overview. Stabilizing effect of PLP binding is mediated by the loop Gly252-Val266, which faces the active site and could be maintained by the coenzyme in the correct conformation. Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) exerts a chaperone role by promoting dimerization | Homo sapiens |
General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
evolution | AGT is a homodimer and belongs to the fold type I family of PLP-dependent enzymes. Enzyme AGT is present in the human population in two allelic forms, the major allele encoding AGT-Ma and the minor allele encoding AGT-Mi, the latter characterized by the Pro11 to Leu and Ile340 to Met amino acid substitutions | Homo sapiens |
malfunction | possible inverse correlation between the degree of destabilization/misfolding induced by a mutation and the extent of vitamin B6 responsiveness in PH1. Among the 79 missense mutations known to be associated with PH1, 26 involve residues directly located at the monomer-monomer interface | Homo sapiens |
additional information | the overall transamination catalyzed by AGT follows a ping-pong mechanism | Homo sapiens |
physiological function | primary hyperoxaluria type I (PH1) is a rare disease caused by the deficit of liver alanine-glyoxylate aminotransferase (AGT). AGT prevents oxalate formation by converting peroxisomal glyoxylate to glycine. When the enzyme is deficient, progressive calcium oxalate stones deposit first in the urinary tract and then at the systemic level. Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP), the AGT coenzyme, exerts a chaperone role by promoting dimerization | Homo sapiens |
