Transglutaminases (TGases) are Ca2+-dependent enzymes capable of catalysing transamidation of glutamine residues to form intermolecular isopeptide bonds. Nine distinct TGases have been described in mammals, and two of them (types 2 and 3) are regulated by GTP/ATP. TGase2 hydrolyses GTP and is therefore a bifunctional enzyme. In the present study, we report that TGase5 is also regulated by nucleotides. We have identified the putative TGase5 GTP-binding pocket by comparative amino acid sequence alignment and homology-derived three-dimensional modelling. GTP and ATP inhibit TGase5 cross-linking activity in vitro, and Ca2+ is capable of completely reversing this inhibition. In addition, TGase5 mRNA is not restricted to epidermal tissue, but is also present in different adult and foetal tissues, suggesting a role for TGase5 outside the epidermis. These results reveal the reciprocal actions of Ca2+ and nucleotides with respect to TGase5 activity. Taken together, these results indicate that TGases are a complex family of enzymes regulated by calcium, with at least three of them, namely TGase2, TGase3 and TGase5, also being regulated by ATP and GTP.
