NUCLEOTIDE TRANSFERASE
Overview
Galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase catalyzes the reversible, transfer of the uridine 5'-monophosphoryl moiety of UDP-glucose to the, phosphate group of galactose 1-phosphate to form UDP-galactose. This, enzyme participates in the Leloir pathway of galactose metabolism, and its, absence is the primary cause of the potentially lethal disease, galactosemia. The three-dimensional structure of the dimeric enzyme from, Escherichia coli complexed with uridine 5'-diphosphate is reported here., The structure was solved by multiple isomorphous replacement and electron, density modification techniques and has been refined to 1.8 A resolution., Enzyme subunits consist of a single domain with the topology of a, "half-barrel". The barrel staves are formed by nine strands of, antiparallel ... [(full description)]
