BENZOYLFORMATE DECARBOXYLASE FROM PSEUDOMONAS PUTIDA
Overview
The crystal structure of the thiamin diphosphate (ThDP)-dependent enzyme, benzoylformate decarboxylase (BFD), the third enzyme in the mandelate, pathway of Pseudomonas putida, has been solved by multiple isomorphous, replacement at 1.6 A resolution and refined to an R-factor of 15.0% (free, R = 18.6%). The structure of BFD has been compared to that of other, ThDP-dependent enzymes, including pyruvate decarboxylase. The overall, architecture of BFD resembles that of the other family members, and, cofactor- and metal-binding residues are well conserved. Surprisingly, there is no conservation of active-site residues not directly bound to the, cofactor. The position of functional groups in the active site may be, conserved, however. Three classes of metal ions have been identified in, the BFD ... [(full description)]
