Amylosucrase (E.C. 2.4.1.4) is a member of Family 13 of the glycoside hydrolases (the α-amylases), although its biological function is the synthesis of amylose-like polymers from sucrose. The structure of amylosucrase from Neisseria polysaccharea is divided into five domains: an all helical N-terminal domain that is not similar to any known fold, a (β/α)8-barrel A-domain, B- and B′-domains displaying α/β-structure, and a C-terminal eight-stranded β-sheet domain. In contrast to other Family 13 hydrolases that have the active site in the bottom of a large cleft, the active site of amylosucrase is at the bottom of a pocket at the molecular surface. A substrate binding site resembling the amylase 2 subsite is not found in amylosucrase. The site is blocked by a... |

Cobalamin-independent methionine synthase (MetE) catalyzes the synthesis of methionine by a direct transfer of the methyl group of N5-methyltetrahydrofolate (CH3-H4PteGlun) to the sulfur atom of homocysteine (Hcy). We report here the first crystal structure of this metalloenzyme under different forms, free or complexed with the Hcy and folate substrates. The Arabidopsis thaliana MetE (AtMetE) crystals reveal a monomeric structure built by two (βα)8 barrels making a deep groove at their interface. The active site is located at the surface of the C-terminal domain, facing the large interdomain cleft. Inside the active site, His647, Cys649, and Cys733 are involved in zinc coordination, whereas Asp605, Ile437, and Ser439 interact with Hcy. Opposite the... |

Bovine odorant-binding protein (bOBP) is a dimeric lipocalin present in large amounts in the respiratory and olfactory nasal mucosa. The structure of bOBP refined at 2.0-Å resolution revealed an elongated volume of electron density inside each buried cavity, indicating the presence of one (or several) naturally occurring copurified ligand(s) (Tegoni et al. (1996)Nat. Struct. Biol. 3, 863–867; Bianchet et al.(1996) Nat. Struct. Biol. 3, 934–939). In the present work, by combining mass spectrometry, x-ray crystallography (1.8-Å resolution), and fluorescence, it has been unambiguously established that natural bOBP contains the racemic form of 1-octen-3-ol. This volatile substance is a typical component of bovine breath and in general of odorous body... |
