BACILLUS SUBTILIS CYTIDINE DEAMINASE WITH AN ARG56- ALA SUBSTITUTION
OverviewOverview
The zinc-containing cytidine deaminase (CDA, EC 3.5.4.5) is a pyrimidine, salvage enzyme catalyzing the hydrolytic deamination of cytidine and, 2'-deoxycytidine forming uridine and 2'-deoxyuridine, respectively., Homodimeric CDA (D-CDA) and homotetrameric CDA (T-CDA) both contain one, zinc ion per subunit coordinated to the catalytic water molecule. The zinc, ligands in D-CDA are one histidine and two cysteine residues, whereas in, T-CDA zinc is coordinated to three cysteines. Two of the zinc coordinating, cysteines in T-CDA form hydrogen bonds to the conserved residue Arg56, and, this residue together with the dipole moments from two alpha-helices, partially neutralizes the additional negative charge in the active site, leading to a catalytic activity similar to D-CDA. Arg56 has been, ... [(full description)]
