THE CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF YDCE, A 4-OXALOCROTONATE TAUTOMERASE HOMOLOGUE FROM ESCHERICHIA COLI, CONFIRMS THE STRUCTURAL BASIS FOR OLIGOMER DIVERSITY
Overview
The tautomerase superfamily consists of three major families represented, by 4-oxalocrotonate tautomerase (4-OT), 5-(carboxymethyl)-2-hydroxymuconate isomerase (CHMI), and macrophage, migration inhibitory factor (MIF). The members of this superfamily are, structurally homologous proteins constructed from a simple beta-alpha-beta, fold that share a key mechanistic feature; they use an amino-terminal, proline, which has an unusually low pK(a), as the general base in a, keto-enol tautomerization. Several new members of the 4-OT family have now, been identified using PSI-BLAST and categorized into five subfamilies on, the basis of multiple-sequence alignments and the conservation of key, catalytic and structural residues. The members of subfamily 5, which, includes a hypothetical protein ... [(full description)]
