FLUORIDE-INHIBITED SUBSTRATE COMPLEX OF SACCHAROMYCES CEREVISIAE INORGANIC PYROPHOSPHATASE

OverviewOverview
The wealth of kinetic and structural information makes inorganic, pyrophosphatases (PPases) a good model system to study the details of, enzymatic phosphoryl transfer. The enzyme accelerates metal-complexed, phosphoryl transfer 10(10)-fold: but how? Our structures of the yeast, PPase product complex at 1.15 A and fluoride-inhibited complex at 1.9 A, visualize the active site in three different states: substrate-bound, immediate product bound, and relaxed product bound. These span the steps, around chemical catalysis and provide strong evidence that a water, molecule (O(nu)) directly attacks PPi with a pK(a) vastly lowered by, coordination to two metal ions and D117. They also suggest that a, low-barrier hydrogen bond (LBHB) forms between D117 and O(nu), in part, because of steric crowding ... [(full description)]
