TERNARY COMPLEX OF 4-DIPHOSPHOCYTIDYL-2-C-METHYL-D-ERYTHRITOL KINASE
OverviewOverview
4-Diphosphocytidyl-2C-methyl-d-erythritol kinase, an essential enzyme in, the nonmevalonate pathway of isopentenyl diphosphate and dimethylallyl, diphosphate biosynthesis, catalyzes the single ATP-dependent, phosphorylation stage affording, 4-diphosphocytidyl-2C-methyl-d-erythritol-2-phosphate. The 2-A resolution, crystal structure of the Escherichia coli enzyme in a ternary complex with, substrate and a nonhydrolyzable ATP analogue reveals the molecular, determinants of specificity and catalysis. The enzyme subunit displays the, alpha/beta fold characteristic of the galactose kinase/homoserine, kinase/mevalonate kinase/phosphomevalonate kinase superfamily, arranged, into cofactor and substrate-binding domains with the catalytic center, positioned in a deep cleft between domains. Comparisons with related, members of this superfamily indicate that the core regions of each domain, are conserved, whereas there are significant differences in the, substrate-binding pockets. The nonmevalonate pathway is essential in many, microbial pathogens and distinct from the mevalonate pathway used by, mammals. The high degree of sequence conservation of the enzyme across, bacterial species suggests similarities in structure, specificity, and, mechanism. Our model therefore provides an accurate template to facilitate, the structure-based design of broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents.
