Structural Insights into Isovaleryl-CoA Dehydrogenase: Mechanisms of Substrate Specificity and Implications of IVA Associated Mutations
2025
Overview
Isovaleryl-CoA (coenzyme A) dehydrogenase (IVD) plays a pivotal role in the catabolism of leucine, converting isovaleryl-CoA to 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA. Dysfunction of IVD is linked to isovaleric acidemia (IVA), a rare metabolic disorder characterized by the accumulation of toxic metabolites. In this study, we present the cryo-electron microscopy structures of human IVD, resolved both in its apo form and in complex with its substrates, isovaleryl-CoA and butyryl-CoA. Our findings reveal a tetrameric architecture with distinct substrate-binding pockets that facilitate the enzyme's preference for short branched-chain acyl-CoAs. Key residues involved in FAD binding and substrate interaction were identified, elucidating the catalytic mechanism of IVD. Additionally, we investigated the impact of various disease-associated hotspot mutations derived from different regions, demonstrating their effects on enzyme stability and activity. Notably, mutations such as A314V, S281G/F382V, and E411K resulted in substantial loss of function, while others exhibited milder effects, which is consistent with our structural analyses. These insights enhance our understanding of IVD's enzymatic properties and provide a foundation for developing targeted therapies for IVA.
