AGMATINE DEIMINASE OF ENTEROCOCCUS FAECALIS CATALYZING ITS REACTION.
Overview
Enterococcus faecalis makes ATP from agmatine in three steps catalyzed by, agmatine deiminase (AgDI), putrescine transcarbamylase (PTC), and, carbamate kinase (CK). An antiporter exchanges putrescine for agmatine. We, have cloned the E. faecalis ef0732 and ef0734 genes of the reported gene, cluster for agmatine catabolism, overexpressed them in Escherichia coli, purified the products, characterized them functionally as PTC and AgDI, and crystallized and X-ray diffracted them. The 1.65-Angstroms-resolution, structure of AgDI forming a covalent adduct with an agmatine-derived, amidine reactional intermediate is described. We provide definitive, identification of the gene cluster for agmatine catabolism and confirm, that ornithine is a genuine but poor PTC substrate, suggesting that PTC, ... [(full description)]
