CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE E45N MUTANT FROM KDPG ALDOLASE FROM ESCHERICHIA COLI
Overview
In vivo, 2-keto-3-deoxy-6-phosphogluconate (KDPG) aldolase catalyzes the, reversible, stereospecific retro-aldol cleavage of KDPG to pyruvate and, D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate. The enzyme is a lysine-dependent (Class I), aldolase that functions through the intermediacy of a Schiff base. Here, we propose a mechanism for this enzyme based on crystallographic studies, of wild-type and mutant aldolases. The three dimensional structure of KDPG, aldolase from the thermophile Thermotoga maritima was determined to 1.9A., The structure is the standard alpha/beta barrel observed for all Class I, aldolases. At the active site Lys we observe clear density for a pyruvate, Schiff base. Density for a sulfate ion bound in a conserved cluster of, residues close to the Schiff base is also observed. We have ...
