HUMAN ASPARTYLGLUCOSAMINIDASE
Overview
The high resolution crystal structure of human lysosomal, aspartylglucosaminidase (AGA) has been determined. This lysosomal enzyme, is synthesized as a single polypeptide precursor, which is immediately, post-translationally cleaved into alpha- and beta-subunits. Two alpha- and, beta-chains are found to pack together forming the final heterotetrameric, structure. The catalytically essential residue, the N-terminal threonine, of the beta-chain is situated in the deep pocket of the funnel-shaped, active site. On the basis of the structure of the enzyme-product complex, we present a catalytic mechanism for this lysosomal enzyme with an, exceptionally high pH optimum. The three-dimensional structure also allows, the prediction of the structural consequences of human mutations resulting, in ... [(full description)]
