COMPLEX OF INACTIVE MUTANT (H240->N) OF GLUCOSE 6-PHOSPHATE DEHYDROGENASE FROM LEUCONOSTOC MESENTEROIDES WITH NADP+
Overview
The catalytic mechanism of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase from Leuconostoc mesenteroides was investigated by replacing three amino acids, His-240, Asp-177, and His 178, with asparagine, using site-directed mutagenesis. Each of the mutant enzymes was purified to homogeneity and characterized by substrate binding studies and steady-state kinetic analyses. The three-dimensional structure of the H240N glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase was determined at 2.5 A resolution. The results support a mechanism in which His-240 acts as the general base that abstracts the proton from the C1-hydroxyl group of glucose 6-phosphate, and the carboxylate group of Asp-177 stabilizes the positive charge that forms on His-240 in the transition state. The results also confirm the postulated role of His-178 in binding the phosphate moiety of glucose 6-phosphate.
