AN UNUSUAL BURIED POLAR CLUSTER IN A FAMILY OF FUNGAL LIPASES
Overview
The stability of globular proteins arises largely from the burial of, non-polar amino acids in their interior. These residues are efficiently, packed to eliminate energetically unfavorable cavities. Contrary to these, observations, high resolution X-ray crystallographic analyses of four, homologous lipases from filamentous fungi reveal an alpha/beta fold which, contains a buried conserved constellation of charged and polar side chains, with associated cavities containing ordered water molecules. It is, possible that this structural arrangement plays an important role in, interfacial catalysis.
