Crystal Structure of 2-aminoethylphosphonate Transaminase
Overview
Phosphonates allow certain organisms to thrive in otherwise hostile, environments, and 2-aminoethylphosphonate (AEP) is a precursor of many, cellular phosphonates. AEP transaminase (AEPT) is an enzyme essential to, phosphonate synthesis and degradation pathways. The crystal structure of, AEP transaminase was determined by multiwavelength anomalous diffraction, of 66 selenium atoms. The refined structure at 2.2 A resolution revealed, an overall fold and active site location similar to those of the dimeric, two-domain structure of type I aminotransferases. The active site contains, a cofactor, pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP), and the product, phosphonoacetaldehyde. Comparison with other type I aminotransferase, structures shows that the PLP-protein interactions are conserved. Modeling, of bound substrates and products reveals the structural basis for AEP, recognition and the stereospecificity of proton elimination at the, alpha-carbon and indicates conformational changes along the reaction, pathway.
