CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF AN ARCHAEAL FRUCTOSE 1,6-BISPHOSPHATE ALDOLASE
Overview
Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase (FBPA) catalyzes the reversible, cleavage of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate and, dihydroxyacetone phosphate in the glycolytic pathway. FBPAs from archaeal, organisms have recently been identified and characterized as a divergent, family of proteins. Here, we report the first crystal structure of an, archaeal FBPA at 1.9-A resolution. The structure of this 280-kDa protein, complex was determined using single wavelength anomalous dispersion, followed by 10-fold non-crystallographic symmetry averaging and refined to, an R-factor of 14.9% (Rfree 17.9%). The protein forms a dimer of, pentamers, consisting of subunits adopting the ubiquitous (betaalpha)8, barrel fold. Additionally, a crystal structure of the archaeal FBPA, covalently ...
