摘要

Tyrosine aminotransferase (TAT) is an aminotransferase with broad substrate specificity that catalyzes the transamination of aromatic amino acids in Leishmania?donovani and plays a crucial role in the survival and pathogenicity of the parasite. In this study, we have biochemically characterized tyrosine aminotransferase from Leishmania?donovani using in?vitro and in?silico techniques. Leishmania?donovani tyrosine aminotransferase (LdTAT) was cloned into the pET28a(+) vector and expressed in the BL21 strain of Escherichia?coli . The Ni‐NTA‐purified protein was then characterized biochemically, and its various kinetic parameters were investigated. The apparent K subm/sub value for the tyrosine–pyruvate pair was determined to be 3.5?±?0.9?m m , and V submax/sub was analyzed to be at 11.7?±?1.5?μ m ·min.μgsup?1/sup. LdTAT was found to exhibit maximum activity at 50?°C and at a pH of 8.0. Cofactor identification for LdTAT showed that pyridoxal‐5‐phosphate (PLP) binds with a K subm/sub value of 23.59?±?3.99?μ m and that the phosphate group is vital for the activity of the enzyme. Sequence analysis revealed that S151, Y256, K286, and P291 are conserved residues and form hydrogen bonds with PLP. Urea‐based denaturation studies revealed a biphasic folding mechanism involving N→X→D states. Molecular dynamic simulations of modeled LdTAT at various conditions were performed to understand enzyme behavior and interactions at the molecular level. The biochemical and structural divergence between host and parasite TAT suggests the LdTAT has evolved to utilize pyruvate rather than α‐ketoglutarate as co‐substrate. Furthermore, our data suggest that LdTAT may be a potential drug target due to its divergence in structure and substrate specificity from the host.
