The 0.95 Angstrom Resolution Crystal Structure of the Aminopeptidase from Aeromonas proteolytica
Overview
The aminopeptidase from Aeromonas proteolytica (AAP) contains two zinc, ions in the active site and catalyzes the degradation of peptides. Herein, we report the crystal structures of AAP at 0.95-A resolution at neutral pH, and at 1.24-A resolution at low pH. The combination of these structures, allowed the precise modeling of atomic positions, the identification of, the metal bridging oxygen species, and insight into the physical, properties of the metal ions. On the basis of these structures, a new, putative catalytic mechanism is proposed for AAP that is likely relevant, to all binuclear metalloproteases.
