HUMAN UDP-GALACTOSE 4-EPIMERASE: ACCOMMODATION OF UDP-N-ACETYLGLUCOSAMINE WITHIN THE ACTIVE SITE
Contents |
Overview
UDP-galactose 4-epimerase catalyzes the interconversion of UDP-galactose, and UDP-glucose during normal galactose metabolism. One of the key, structural features in the proposed reaction mechanism for the enzyme is, the rotation of a 4'-ketopyranose intermediate within the active site, pocket. Recently, the three-dimensional structure of the human enzyme with, bound NADH and UDP-glucose was determined. Unlike that observed for the, protein isolated from Escherichia coli, the human enzyme can also turn, over UDP-GlcNAc to UDP-GalNAc and vice versa. Here we describe the, three-dimensional structure of human epimerase complexed with NADH and, UDP-GlcNAc. To accommodate the additional N-acetyl group at the C2, position of the sugar, the side chain of Asn-207 rotates toward the, interior of the protein and interacts with Glu-199. Strikingly, in the, human enzyme, the structural equivalent of Tyr-299 in the E. coli protein, is replaced with a cysteine residue (Cys-307) and the active site volume, for the human protein is calculated to be approximately 15% larger than, that observed for the bacterial epimerase. This combination of a larger, active site cavity and amino acid residue replacement most likely accounts, for the inability of the E. coli enzyme to interconvert UDP-GlcNAc and, UDP-GalNAc.
