ALTERING THE BINUCLEAR MANGANESE CLUSTER OF ARGINASE DIMINISHES THERMOSTABILITY AND CATALYTIC FUNCTION
Overview
Arginase is a thermostable (Tm = 75 degrees C) binuclear manganese, metalloenzyme which hydrolyzes l-arginine to form l-ornithine and urea., The three-dimensional structures of native metal-depleted arginase, metal-loaded H101N arginase, and metal-depleted H101N arginase have been, determined by X-ray crystallographic methods to probe the roles of the, manganese ion in site A (Mn2+A) and its ligand H101 in catalysis and, thermostability. We correlate these structures with thermal stability and, catalytic activity measurements reported here and elsewhere [Cavalli, R., C., Burke, C. J., Kawamoto, S., Soprano, D. R., and Ash, D. E. (1994), Biochemistry 33, 10652-10657]. We conclude that the substitution of a, wild-type histidine ligand to Mn2+A compromises metal binding, which in, turn ... [(full description)]
