This enzymatic activity is Mg<sup>2+</sup> dependant, because the structure of the active site is in its optimal conformation when the cation makes coordination interactions. When the catalytic activity of the N-term domain is available, Magnesium is octahedrally coordinated with the four aspartates, one water molecule and the phosphate belonging to the substrate. We can note that Mg<sup>2+</sup> is not directly involved in the catalytic mechanism, and all its interactions with the active site remain during the hydrolysis. Its single role consists in maintaining the three-dimensional structure of the active site. | ||
First, the oxygen on the lateral chain of D9 attacks the phosphate. After the addition of a proton H<sub>+</sub>, the product with its two hydroxyl functions is released, while the phosphate is still linked to D9. Then, a waters molecule binds the phosphate, breaking its bond with the aspartate. Therefore the phosphate can be finally released and the active site can accept a lipid again and start a new catalytic cycle. | First, the oxygen on the lateral chain of D9 attacks the phosphate.
