structures of Gdh3 and its complex with 2-oxoglutarate and NADPH. Gdh3 exists as a hexamer, with each subunit containing two domains. The substrate and coenzyme bind in the cleft between the two domains and their binding induces a conformational change
complexed with NADP+ and 2-iminoglutarate. Among six subunits of hexameric GDH-binding NADP+, only four subunits bind 2-iminoglutarate in a closed form, while the other two are in an open form. In the closed form, 2-iminoglutarate is bound to the substrate-binding site with the 2-imino group stacked by the nicotinamide ring of the coenzyme, suggesting a prehydride transfer state
in complex with NADPH and 2-oxoglutarate. The enzyme functions as a hexamer, and each monomer comprises a Rossmann-fold cofactor-binding domain and a substrate-binding domain. In the apo-form, GDH exists as an open state, and upon binding of the substrate and cofactor the protein undergoes a conformation change to a closed state
chimeric protein consisting of domain I from NAD+-dependent GDH of Clostridium symbiosum, residues 1-200, domain II from NADP+-dependent GDH of Escherichia coli, residues 201-404 and the C-terminal helix again from Clostridium symbiosum, residues 405-448 which re-enters domain I. Domain II maintains its structural and functional integrity independent of the hinge and domain I. The enzyme is fully functional and retains the preference for NADP+ cofactor from the parent E. coli domain II
