Comments
This enzyme belongs to the cytidine and deoxyxytidylate deaminase family.
According to the literature [1] & [3], this enzyme catalyzes two successive reactions (rather than hydrolysis) as follows:
(A) Addition of water to imine carbon to form a tetrahedral intermediate (I00148).
(B) Elimination of amine group from the intermediate, forming a carbonyl group.
####
(A) Addition of water to imine carbon to form a tetrahedral intermediate (I00148).
(A1) Glu104 play unusual multiple roles in this reaction, by abstracting a proton from the zinc-bound hydroxide, and subsequently by protonating to N-3 atom of the substrate.
(A2) Nucleophilic attack by the zinc bound hydroxide on C-4 atom of the substrate leads to a succession of two tetrahedral intermediate at the carbon atom.
(A3) Formation of the first tetrahedral intermediate with 4-amino group (-NH2) and hydroxy group (-OH) at C-4 atom (I00148); The leaving 4-amino group is stabilized by the carbonyl oxygen atom of Thr127.
(B) Elimination of amine group from the intermediate, forming a carbonyl group.
(B1) Glu104 acts as a general base to deprotonate the hydroxyl group of the first tetrahedral intermediate, forming the second intermediate.
(B2) Glu104 now acts as a general acid to protonate the amine group of the second tetrahedral intermediate, releasing ammonia. (Glu104 plays the shuttling role in the proton transfer.)
According to the paper [15], this nucleophilic displacement involves SN2-like reaction.
More interestingly, this unusual enzyme with zinc ligated by two cysteine residues and a histidine residue adopts an essential strategy, according to the literature [7] & [9]. The Zn-S gamma (Cys132) bond, which lengthens in transition state, shortens as the O-4 atom returns to a state of lower negative charge in the planar product, was proposed to function as a "valence buffer" which can accommodate changing negative charge on the hydroxy group.
