TRANSKETOLASE COMPLEX WITH REACTION INTERMEDIATE
|
OverviewOverview
Kinetic and spectroscopic data indicated that addition of the donor, substrate hydroxypyruvate to the thiamin diphosphate (ThDP)-dependent, enzyme transketolase (TK) led to the accumulation of the, alpha-carbanion/enamine of (alpha,beta-dihydroxyethyl) ThDP, the key, reaction intermediate in enzymatic thiamin catalysis. The, three-dimensional structure of this intermediate trapped in the active, site of yeast TK was determined to 1.9-A resolution by using, cryocrystallography. The electron density suggests a planar, alpha-carbanion/enamine intermediate having the E-configuration. The, reaction intermediate is firmly held in place through direct hydrogen, bonds to His-103 and His-481 and an indirect hydrogen bond via a water, molecule to His-69. The 4-NH(2) group of the amino-pyrimidine ... [(full description)]
