Abstract

The crystal structures of Flavobacterium heparinium chondroitin AC lyase (chondroitinase AC; EC 4.2.2.5) bound to dermatan sulfate hexasaccharide (DS(hexa)), tetrasaccharide (DS(tetra)), and hyaluronic acid tetrasaccharide (HA(tetra)) have been refined at 2.0, 2.0, and 2.1 A resolution, respectively. The structure of the Tyr234Phe mutant of AC lyase bound to a chondroitin sulfate tetrasaccharide (CS(tetra)) has also been determined to 2.3 A resolution. For each of these complexes, four (DS(hexa) and CS(tetra)) or two (DS(tetra) and HA(tetra)) ordered sugars are visible in electron density maps. The lyase AC DS(hexa) and CS(tetra) complexes reveal binding at four subsites, -2, -1, +1, and +2, within a narrow and shallow protein channel. We suggest that subsites -2 and -1 together represent the substrate recognition area, +1 is the catalytic subsite and +1 and +2 together represent the product release area. The putative catalytic site is located between the substrate recognition area and the product release area, carrying out catalysis at the +1 subsite. Four residues near the catalytic site, His225, Tyr234, Arg288, and Glu371 together form a catalytic tetrad. The mutations His225Ala, Tyr234Phe, Arg288Ala, and Arg292Ala, revealed...Continue Reading

Biosynthetic Transformations

Biosyntheic transformtions are multi-step, enzyme-catalyzed processes where substrates are converted into more complex products in living organisms. Simple compounds are modified, converted into other compounds, or joined together to form macromolecules. Discover the latest research on biosynthetic transformations here.
