tailieunhanh - Báo cáo khoa học: Substrate positioning by His92 is important in catalysis by purple acid phosphatase

Proteolysis of single polypeptide mammalian purple acid phosphatases (PAPs) results in the loss of an interaction between the loop residue Asp146 and the active site residues Asn91 and⁄or His92. While Asn91 is a ligand to the divalent metal of the mixed-valent di-iron center, the role of His92 in the catalytic mechanism is unknown. Site-directed mutagenesis of His92 was performed to examine the role of this residue in single polypep-tide PAP. | iFEBS Journal Substrate positioning by His92 is important in catalysis by purple acid phosphatase Enrico G.

While Asn91 is a ligand to the divalent metal of the mixed-valent di-iron center the role of His92 in the catalytic mechanism is unknown. Site-directed mutagenesis of His92 was performed to examine the role of this residue in single polypeptide PAP. Conversion of His92 into Ala which eliminates polar interactions of this residue with the active site resulted in a 10-fold decrease in catalytic activity at the optimal pH. Conversely conversion of this residue into Asn which cannot function as either a proton donor or acceptor but can provide hydrogen-bonding interactions resulted in a three-fold increase in activity at the optimal pH. Both mutant enzymes had more acidic pH optima with pK Cs_ values consistent with the involvement of an iron III hydroxide unit or a hydroxide in the second coordination sphere in catalysis. These results together with EPR data support a role of His92 in positioning either the .
