CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF PSEUDOMONAS FLUORESCENS HPPD
Overview
BACKGROUND: In plants and photosynthetic bacteria, the tyrosine, degradation pathway is crucial because homogentisate, a tyrosine, degradation product, is a precursor for the biosynthesis of photosynthetic, pigments, such as quinones or tocophenols. Homogentisate biosynthesis, includes a decarboxylation step, a dioxygenation and a rearrangement of, the pyruvate sidechain. This complex reaction is carried out by a single, enzyme, the 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD), a non-heme iron, dependent enzyme that is active as a homotetramer in bacteria and as a, homodimer in plants. Moreover, in humans, a HPPD deficiency is found to be, related to tyrosinemia, a rare hereditary disorder of tyrosine catabolism., RESULTS: We report here the crystal structure of Pseudomonas fluorescens, ...
