Crystal structure of an acylpeptide hydrolase/esterase from Aeropyrum pernix K1
|
OverviewOverview
Acylpeptide hydrolases (APH; also known as acylamino acid releasing, enzyme) catalyze the removal of an N-acylated amino acid from blocked, peptides. The crystal structure of an APH from the thermophilic archaeon, Aeropyrum pernix K1 to 2.1 A resolution confirms it to be a member of the, prolyl oligopeptidase family of serine proteases. The structure of apAPH, is a symmetric homodimer with each subunit comprised of two domains. The, N-terminal domain is a regular seven-bladed beta-propeller, while the, C-terminal domain has a canonical alpha/beta hydrolase fold and includes, the active site and a conserved Ser445-Asp524-His556 catalytic triad. The, complex structure of apAPH with an organophosphorus substrate, p-nitrophenyl phosphate, has also been determined. The complex structure, unambiguously maps out the substrate binding pocket and provides a basis, for substrate recognition by apAPH. A conserved mechanism for protein, degradation from archaea to mammals is suggested by the structural, features of apAPH.
