Comments
This enzyme is homologous to bacteriophage T7 lysozyme (S00502 in EzCatDB). However, the catalytic residues are not completely the same as those by its homologue. Instead of Lys128 in T7 lysozyme, either His43 or His67 may acts as a stabilizer, according to the literature [9]. Considering its active site, His43 must acts as a stabilizer, which stabilize the negative charge on the transition-state.
According to the literature [2], [9] and [10], the reaction proceeds as follows:
(1) Tyr78 acts as a general base to activate the hydrolytic water, along with the Zinc ion bound to His42/His152/Cys160. Here, the zinc ion polarizes the carbonyl group of the scissile bond.
(2) The activated water makes a nucleophilic attack on the target carbonyl carbon.
(3) The transition-state is stabilized by both Zinc ion and His43.
(4) Tyr78 acts as a general acid to protonate the leaving amine group, completing the hydrolysis.
