CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF 7,8-DIAMINOPELARGONIC ACID SYNTHASE
Overview
The three-dimensional structure of diaminopelargonic acid synthase, a, vitamin B6-dependent enzyme in the pathway of the biosynthesis of biotin, has been determined to 1.8 A resolution by X-ray crystallography. The, structure was solved by multi-wavelength anomalous diffraction techniques, using a crystal derivatized with mercury ions. The protein model has been, refined to a crystallographic R -value of 17.5% (R -free 22.6%). Each, enzyme subunit consists of two domains, a large domain (residues 50-329), containing a seven-stranded predominantly parallel beta-sheet, surrounded, by alpha-helices, and a small domain comprising residues 1-49 and 330-429., Two subunits, related by a non-crystallographic dyad in the crystals, form, the homodimeric molecule, which contains two equal active ...
