CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF S. PNEUMONIAE HYALURONATE LYASE IN COMPLEX WITH PALMITOYL-VITAMIN C
Overview
Hyaluronidases are enzymes that degrade hyaluronan, an important component, of the extracellular matrix. The mammalian hyaluronidases are considered, to be involved in many (patho)physiological processes like fertilization, tumor growth, and metastasis. Bacterial hyaluronidases, also termed, hyaluronate lyases, contribute to the spreading of microorganisms in, tissues. Such roles for hyaluronidases suggest that inhibitors could be, useful pharmacological tools. Potent and selective inhibitors are not, known to date, although L-ascorbic acid has been reported to be a weak, inhibitor of Streptococcus pneumoniae hyaluronate lyase (SpnHL). The x-ray, structure of SpnHL complexed with L-ascorbic acid has been elucidated, suggesting that additional hydrophobic interactions might increase, ... [(full description)]
