Structure of wild-type E. coli Aspartate Transcarbamoylase in the presence of N-phosphonacetyl-L-isoasparagine at 2.3A resolution
Overview
The synthesis of a new inhibitor, N-phosphonacetyl-L-isoasparagine (PALI), of Escherichia coli aspartate transcarbamoylase (ATCase) is reported, as well as structural studies of the enzyme.PALI complex. PALI was synthesized in 7 steps from beta-benzyl L-aspartate. The KD of PALI was 2 microM. Kinetics and small-angle X-ray scattering experiments showed that PALI can induce the cooperative transition of ATCase from the T to the R state. The X-ray structure of the enzyme.PALI complex showed 22 hydrogen-bonding interactions between the enzyme and PALI. The kinetic characterization and crystal structure of the ATCase.PALI complex also provides detailed information regarding the importance of the alpha-carboxylate for the binding of the substrate aspartate.
