BETA-PROPELLER PHYTASE IN COMPLEX WITH PHOSPHATE AND CALCIUM IONS
Overview
BACKGROUND: Phytases hydrolyze phytic acid (myo-inositol-hexakisphosphate), to less-phosphorylated myo-inositol derivatives and inorganic phosphate., Phytases are used in animal feed to reduce phosphate pollution in the, environment. Recently, a thermostable, calcium-dependent Bacillus phytase, was identified that represents the first example of the beta propeller, fold exhibiting phosphatase activity. We sought to delineate the catalytic, mechanism and property of this enzyme. RESULTS: The crystal structure of, the enzyme in complex with inorganic phosphate reveals that two phosphates, and four calcium ions are tightly bound at the active site. Mutation of, the residues involved in the calcium chelation results in severe defects, in the enzyme's activity. One phosphate ion, chelating all ... [(full description)]
