5'-NUCLEOTIDASE FROM E. COLI
OverviewOverview
The crystal structure of 5'-nucleotidase (5'-NT) from E. coli, also known, as UDP-sugar hydrolase, has been determined at 1.7 A resolution. Two zinc, ions are present in the active site, which is located in a cleft between, two domains. The dimetal center and a catalytic Asp-His dyad are the main, players in the catalytic mechanism. Structure-based sequence comparisons, show that the structure also provides a model for animal 5'-NTs, which, together with other ectonucleotidases terminate the action of nucleotides, as extracellular signaling substances in the nervous system.
