N-ACETYLNEURAMINATE LYASE IN COMPLEX WITH HYDROXYPYRUVATE
Overview
We describe here a sub-family of enzymes related both structurally and, functionally to N-acetylneuraminate lyase. Two members of this family, (N-acetylneuraminate lyase and dihydrodipicolinate synthase) have known, three-dimensional structures and we now proceed to show their structural, and functional relationship to two further proteins, trans-o-hydroxybenzylidenepyruvate hydratase-aldolase and, D-4-deoxy-5-oxoglucarate dehydratase. These enzymes are all thought to, involve intermediate Schiff-base formation with their respective, substrates. In order to understand the nature of this intermediate, we, have determined the three-dimensional structure of N-acetylneuraminate, lyase in complex with hydroxypyruvate (a product analogue) and in complex, with one of its products (pyruvate). From these structures we deduce the, presence of a closely similar Schiff-base forming motif in all members of, the N-acetylneuraminate lyase sub-family. A fifth protein, MosA, is also, confirmed to be a member of the sub-family although the involvement of an, intermediate Schiff-base in its proposed reaction is unclear.
