Comments
This enzyme belongs to the phosphoglycerate mutase family.
There have been a number of proposed mechanisms for this phosphatase (see literature [6], [8], [9], [10], [12], [13], [14] & [15]). However, all of these proposed mechanisms are consistent in that the catalysis proceeds in the two steps, formation and hydrolysis (or breakdown) of the phosphohistidine intermediate.
His256 (PDB 1bif) acts as a nucleophile, which attacks on the phosphorous atom of the target phosphate (2-phosphate of the substrate), forming the phosphohistidine intermediate. During the catalysis, the residues, Arg255, Asn262 and Arg305 (PDB 1bif), stabilize the transition state and the intermediate, by neutralizing the negative charges at the phosphate oxygens. Moreover, Glu325 (PDB 1bif) is thought to act as a pKa modulator, according to the literature [6] and [9].
In the first step of the intermediate formation, a catalytic acid protonates to the leaving group (the product, Fructose 6-phosphate). In the second step, a catalytic base activates a bound water molecule, which hydrolyze the phosphohistidine intermediate. Which residue could be the catalytic acid and base has been debated to date.
Both Glu327 and His392 (PDB 1bif) have been identified as the catalytic acid and as the catalytic base activating the water for the hydrolysis (see [6], [8], [9], [10], [12], [13], [14] & [15]).
The literature [6] and [8] proposed that His392 acts as the proton donor, whilst Glu327 activates the water as a general base. In contrast, the paper [9] suggested His390 play a dual role as acid/base, whilst another paper [14] proposed that Glu327 acts as acid/base.
