AMINOPEPTIDASE P FROM E. COLI WITH THE INHIBITOR PRO-LEU
Overview
The structure of the proline-specific aminopeptidase (EC 3.4.11.9) from, Escherichia coli has been solved and refined for crystals of the native, enzyme at a 2.0-A resolution, for a dipeptide-inhibited complex at 2.3-A, resolution, and for a low-pH inactive form at 2.7-A resolution. The, protein crystallizes as a tetramer, more correctly a dimer of dimers, at, both high and low pH, consistent with observations from analytical, ultracentrifuge studies that show that the protein is a tetramer under, physiological conditions. The monomer folds into two domains. The active, site, in the larger C-terminal domain, contains a dinuclear manganese, center in which a bridging water molecule or hydroxide ion appears poised, to act as the nucleophile in the attack on the scissile peptide bond of, ...
