THE MECHANISM OF THE SCHIFF BASE FORMING FRUCTOSE-1,6-BISPHOSPHATE ALDOLASE: STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF REACTION INTERMEDIATES
Overview
The glycolytic enzyme fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase (FBPA) catalyzes, the reversible cleavage of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate to glyceraldehyde, 3-phosphate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate. Catalysis of Schiff base, forming class I FBPA relies on a number of intermediates covalently bound, to the catalytic lysine. Using active site mutants of FBPA I from, Thermoproteus tenax, we have solved the crystal structures of the enzyme, covalently bound to the carbinolamine of the substrate fructose, 1,6-bisphosphate and noncovalently bound to the cyclic form of the, substrate. The structures, determined at a resolution of 1.9 A and refined, to crystallographic R factors of 0.148 and 0.149, respectively, represent, the first view of any FBPA I in these two stages of the reaction pathway, and ...
