Gamma-glutamyl carboxylase

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gamma-glutamyl carboxylase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the GGCX gene, located on chromosome 2 at 2p12.[4]

Transcription

Function

Gamma-glutamyl carboxylase is an enzyme that catalyzes the posttranslational modification of vitamin K-dependent proteins. Many of these vitamin K-dependent proteins are involved in coagulation so the function of the encoded enzyme is essential for hemostasis.[5] Most gla domain-containing proteins depend on this carboxylation reaction for posttranslational modification.[6] In humans, the gamma-glutamyl carboxylase enzyme is most highly expressed in the liver.

Catalytic reaction

Gamma-glutamyl carboxylase oxidizes Vitamin K hydroquinone to Vitamin K 2,3 epoxide, while simultaneously adding CO2 to protein-bound glutamic acid (abbreviation = Glu) to form gamma-carboxyglutamic acid (also called gamma-carboxyglutamate, abbreviation = Gla). Presence of two carboxylate groups causes chelation of Ca2+ , resulting in change in tertiary structure of protein and its activation. The carboxylation reaction will only proceed if the carboxylase enzyme is able to oxidize vitamin K hydroquinone to vitamin K epoxide at the same time; the carboxylation and epoxidation reactions are said to be coupled reactions.[7][8]

No experimental structure is known for GGCX, limiting understanding of its reaction mechanism. Based on the fact that the two reactions are coupled, a computational study is able to propose how the reactants interact with each other to form the products.[9] Lys228 has been shown to be the residue responsible for starting the reaction.[10] How the enzyme holds the reactants in place to have them interact with each other remains poorly shown. 491-507 and 395-401 are probably responsible for propeptide and glutamate binding respectively.[11]

Clinical significance

Mutations in this gene are associated with vitamin K-dependent coagulation defect and PXE-like disorder with multiple coagulation factor deficiency.[5][12]
