CRYO-CRYSTALLOGRAPHY OF A TRUE SUBSTRATE, INDOLE-3-GLYCEROL PHOSPHATE, BOUND TO A MUTANT (ALPHA D60N) TRYPTOPHAN SYNTHASE ALPHA2BETA2 COMPLEX REVEALS THE CORRECT ORIENTATION OF ACTIVE SITE ALPHA GLU 49
Overview
The reversible cleavage of indole-3-glycerol by the alpha-subunit of, tryptophan synthase has been proposed to be catalyzed by alphaGlu49 and, alphaAsp60. Although previous x-ray crystallographic structures of the, tryptophan synthase alpha2beta2 complex showed an interaction between the, carboxylate of alphaAsp60 and the bound inhibitor indole-3-propanol, phosphate, the carboxylate of alphaGlu49 was too distant to play its, proposed role. To clarify the structural and functional roles of, alphaGlu49, we have determined crystal structures of a mutant (alphaD60N), alpha2beta2 complex in the presence and absence of the true substrate, indole-3-glycerol phosphate. The enzyme in the crystal cleaves, indole-3-glycerol phosphate very slowly at room temperature but not under, cryo-conditions of ... [(full description)]
