==THE ACTIVE SITE OF ASPARTIC PROTEINASES==
-
The active site of the aspartic proteinase, endothiapepsin, has been, defined by X-ray analysis and restrained least-squares refinement at 2.1 A, resolution with a crystallographic agreement value of 0.16. The, environments of the two catalytically important aspartyl groups are, remarkably similar and the contributions of the NH2- and COOH-terminal, domains to the catalytic centre are related by a local 2-fold axis. The, carboxylates of the aspartyls share a hydrogen bond and have equivalent, contacts to a bound water molecule or hydroxonium ion lying on the local, diad. The main chains around 32 and 215 are connected by a novel, interaction involving diad-related threonines. It is suggested that the, two pKa values of the active site aspartyls arise from a structure not, unlike that in maleic acid with a hydrogen-bonded intermediate species and, a dicarboxylate characterised by electrostatic repulsions between the two, negatively charged groups.
