abstract = {The human microbiome can produce metabolites that modulate
insulin signaling. Type 2 diabetes patients have increased
circulating concentrations of the microbially produced
histidine metabolite, imidazole propionate (ImP) and
administration of ImP in mice resulted in impaired glucose
tolerance. Interestingly, the fecal microbiota of the
patients had increased capacity to produce ImP, which is
mediated by the bacterial enzyme urocanate reductase (UrdA).
Here, we describe the X-ray structures of the ligand-binding
domains of UrdA in four different states, representing the
structural transitions along the catalytic reaction pathway
of this unexplored enzyme linked to disease in humans. The
structures in combination with functional data provide key
insights into the mechanism of action of UrdA that open new
possibilities for drug development strategies targeting type
2 diabetes.},
