Comments
This enzyme was transferred from E.C. 3.1.4.10 to 4.6.1.13.
This enzyme catalyzes the following reactions:
(A) Intramolecular phosphotransfer reaction:
(B) Hydrolysis:
However, the activity of hydrolysis reaction is very low, according to the literature [25], [26].
The first reaction of this enzyme proceeds as follows:
(1) Asp274 modulates the activity of a general base, His32.
(2) His32 acts as a general base to deprotonate and activate 2-OH group of 1-Phosphatidyl-D-myo-inositol.
(3) The activated hydroxyl group makes a nucleophilic attack on the phosphate group of the substrate, forming a pentacovalent transition state.
(4) The negatively charged transition-state is stabilized by Arg69, which is modulated and oriented by Asp33.
(5) Asp33 also modulates the activity of the general acid, His82.
(6) His32 acts as a general acid to protonate the leaving group, completing the reaction.
