We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.

MERCURY INDUCED MODIFICATIONS IN THE STEREOCHEMISTRY OF THE ACTIVE SITE THROUGH CYS-73 IN A SERINE PROTEASE: CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE COMPLEX OF A PARTIALLY MODIFIED PROTEINASE K WITH MERCURY AT 1.8 A RESOLUTION


Overview

Proteinese K (PK) isolated from Tritirachium album Limber was crystallized with HgCl2 in excess, under microgravity conditions. The intensity data were collected at 4 degrees C to 1.8 A resolution and the final R-factor after refinement for all the reflections was 0.164. Mercury has been found at two sites with partial occupancies (0.4 and 0.6) which are at distances of 2.48 A and 2.58 A respectively from Cys-73 Sgamma. The Cys-73 in the enzyme structure is located close to the active site residue, His-69. This region is completely buried and is not accessible to the solvent. It is rather tightly packed. Therefore, the binding of mercury distorts the stereochemistry of the neighbouring residues including those belonging to the catalytic triad. As a result of this, the Ogamma of Ser-224 is displaced by 0.6 A which causes the inactivation of proteinase K by increasing the H-bond distance to 3.7 A between Ser-224 Ogamma and His-69 Nepsilon2.
