STRUCTURE AND MECHANISM OF ACTION OF ISOPENTENYLPYROPHOSPHATE-DIMETHYLALLYLPYROPHOSPHATE ISOMERASE: COMPLEX OF C67A MUTANT WITH EIPP
Overview
Isopentenyl diphosphate:dimethylallyl diphosphate (IPP:DMAPP) isomerase is, a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of isoprenoids. The mechanism of the, isomerization reaction involves protonation of the unactivated, carbon-carbon double bond in the substrate. Analysis of the 1.97 A crystal, structure of the inactive C67A mutant of E. coli isopentenyl, diphosphate:dimethylallyl diphosphate isomerase complexed with the, mechanism-based inactivator 3,4-epoxy-3-methyl-1-butyl diphosphate is in, agreement with an isomerization mechanism involving Glu 116, Tyr 104, and, Cys 67. In particular, the results are consistent with a mechanism where, Glu116 is involved in the protonation step and Cys67 in the elimination, step.
