CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THERMOTOGA MARITIMA ALPHA-FUCOSIDASE
|
OverviewOverview
Fucosylated glycoconjugates are involved in numerous biological events, and alpha-l-fucosidases, the enzymes responsible for their processing, are, therefore of crucial importance. Deficiency in alpha-l-fucosidase activity, is associated with fucosidosis, a lysosomal storage disorder characterized, by rapid neurodegeneration, resulting in severe mental and motor, deterioration. To gain insight into alpha-l-fucosidase function at the, molecular level, we have determined the crystal structure of Thermotoga, maritima alpha-l-fucosidase. This enzyme assembles as a hexamer and, displays a two-domain fold, composed of a catalytic (beta/alpha)(8)-like, domain and a C-terminal beta-sandwich domain. The structures of an, enzyme-product complex and of a covalent glycosyl-enzyme intermediate, ... [(full description)]
