Urate oxidase from aspergillus flavus complexed with allantoin
Overview
Urate oxidase from Aspergillus flavus catalyzes the degradation of uric, acid to [S]-allantoin through 5-hydroxyisourate as a metastable, intermediate. The second degradation step is thought either catalyzed by, another specific enzyme, or spontaneous. The structure of the enzyme was, known at high resolution by X-ray diffraction of I222 crystals complexed, with a purine-type inhibitor (8-azaxanthin). Analyzing the X-ray structure, of urate oxidase treated with an excess of urate, the natural substrate, shows unexpectedly that the active site recaptures [S]-allantoin from the, racemic end product of a second degradation step.
About this Structure
2FXL is a Single protein structure of sequence from Aspergillus flavus with 2AL as ligand. Active as Urate oxidase, with EC number 1.7.3.3 Full crystallographic information is available from OCA.
