Comments
This enzyme belongs to peptidase family-S58.
Although this enzyme is synthesized as a single polypeptide, the active form consists of two peptides made from the cleavage of the Gly249-Ser250 peptide bond (see [7]). The N-terminal alpha-amine group of Ser250 is extremely important as a general base. Thus, the catalytic mechanism of this enzyme is compared with those of N-terminal nucleophile (Ntn) hydrolases such as proteasome (M00123, M00174 in EzCatDB). The structural topology of this enzyme is distinct from the Ntn hydrolase superfamily (CATH 3.60.20.10).
According to the literature [7], the catalytic reaction proceeds as follows:
(1) Ser288 modulates the activity of the alpha-amine group of Ser250, whereas mainchain amide of Gly289 modulates the sidechain of Ser250.
(2) The alpha-amine group acts as a general base to deprotonate and activate the sidechain hydroxyl group of Ser250.
(3) The activated Ser250 makes a nucleophilic attack on the carbonyl carbon of the substrate, leading to the formation of a tetrahedral transition-state. The transition-state is stabilized by an oxyanion hole, composed of the sidechain amide of Asn218 and mainchain amide of Tyr146.
(4) The alpha-amine group acts as a general acid to protonate the leaving amine group, leading to the acyl-enzyme intermediate.
(5) The alpha-amine group acts as a general base to deprotonate and activate the hydrolytic water.
(6) The activated water makes a nucleophilic attack on the carbonyl carbon of the acyl-enzyme intermediate, leading to the formation of a tetrahedral transition-state again. The transition-state is stabilized by the oxyanion hole.
(7) The alpha-amine group acts as a general acid to protonate the leaving amine group, completing the reaction.
