PHENYLALANINE AMMONIA-LYASE (PAL) FROM PETROSELINUM CRISPUM
Overview
Because of its key role in secondary phenylpropanoid metabolism, Phe, ammonia-lyase is one of the most extensively studied plant enzymes. To, provide a basis for detailed structure-function studies, the enzyme from, parsley (Petroselinum crispum) was crystallized, and the structure was, elucidated at 1.7-A resolution. It contains the unusual electrophilic, 4-methylidene-imidazole-5-one group, which is derived from a tripeptide, segment in two autocatalytic dehydration reactions. The enzyme resembles, His ammonia-lyase from the general His degradation pathway but contains, 207 additional residues, mainly in an N-terminal extension rigidifying a, domain interface and in an inserted alpha-helical domain restricting the, access to the active center. Presumably, Phe ammonia-lyase developed ... [(full description)]
