CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF OCTAMERIC ENOLASE FROM STREPTOCOCCUS PNEUMONIAE
Overview
Alpha-enolases are ubiquitous cytoplasmic, glycolytic enzymes. In, pathogenic bacteria, alpha-enolase doubles as a surface-displayed, plasmin(ogen)-binder supporting virulence. The plasmin(ogen)-binding site, was initially traced to the two C-terminal lysine residues. More recently, an internal nine-amino acid motif comprising residues 248 to 256 was, identified with this function. We report the crystal structure of, alpha-enolase from Streptococcus pneumoniae at 2.0A resolution, the first, structure both of a plasminogen-binding and of an octameric alpha-enolase., While the dimer is structurally similar to other alpha-enolases, the, octamer places the C-terminal lysine residues in an inaccessible, inter-dimer groove restricting the C-terminal lysine residues to a role in, folding and ...
