HG COMPLEX OF YEAST 5-AMINOLAEVULINIC ACID DEHYDRATASE
Overview
MAD experiments attempting to solve the structure of 5--aminolaevulinic, acid dehydratase using Zn and Pb edges are described. The data obtained, proved insufficient for a complete structure solution but were invaluable, in subsequent identification of metal-binding sites using anomalous, difference Fourier analyses once the structure of the enzyme had been, solved. These sites include the highly inhibitory substitution of an, enzymic cofactor Zn(2+) ion by Pb(2+) ions, which represents a major, contribution towards understanding the molecular basis of lead poisoning., The MAD data collected at the Pb edge were also used with isomorphous, replacement data from the same Pb co-crystal and a Hg co-crystal to, provide the first delineation of the enzyme's quaternary structure. In, this MADIR analysis, the Hg co-crystal data were treated as native data., Anomalous difference Fouriers were again used, revealing that Hg(2+) had, substituted for the same Zn(2+) cofactor ion as had Pb(2+), a finding of, fundamental importance for the understanding of mercury poisoning. In, addition, Pt(2+) ions were found to bind at the same place in the, structure. The refined structures of the Pb- and the Hg-complexed enzymes, are presented at 2.5 and 3.0 A resolution, respectively.
