X-RAY STRUCTURE OF OXALYL-COA DECARBOXYLASE IN COMPLEX WITH COENZYME-A

Overview

Despite more than five decades of extensive studies of thiamin diphosphate, (ThDP) enzymes, there remain many uncertainties as to how these enzymes, achieve their rate enhancements. Here, we present a clear picture of, catalysis for the simple nonoxidative decarboxylase, oxalyl-coenzyme A, (CoA) decarboxylase, based on crystallographic snapshots along the, catalytic cycle and kinetic data on active site mutants. First, we provide, crystallographic evidence that, upon binding of oxalyl-CoA, the C-terminal, 13 residues fold over the substrate, aligning the substrate alpha-carbon, for attack by the ThDP-C2 atom. The second structure presented shows a, covalent reaction intermediate after decarboxylation, interpreted as being, nonplanar. Finally, the structure of a product complex is ... [(full description)]
