Precursor of ether phospholipids is synthesized by a flavoenzyme through covalent catalysis.
The precursor of the essential ether phospholipids is synthesized by a peroxisomal enzyme that uses a flavin cofactor to catalyze a reaction that does not alter the redox state of the substrates. The enzyme crystal structure reveals a V-shaped active site with a narrow constriction in front of the prosthetic group. Mutations causing inborn ether phospholipid deficiency, a very severe genetic di...
متن کاملIonic and covalent stabilization of intermediates and transition states in catalysis by solid acids.
Reactivity descriptors describe catalyst properties that determine the stability of kinetically relevant transition states and adsorbed intermediates. Theoretical descriptors, such as deprotonation energies (DPE), rigorously account for Brønsted acid strength for catalytic solids with known structure. Here, mechanistic interpretations of methanol dehydration turnover rates are used to assess ho...
متن کاملFacile synthesis of covalent probes to capture enzymatic intermediates during E1 enzyme catalysis.
We report a facile synthetic strategy to prepare UBL-AMP electrophilic probes that form a covalent bond with the catalytic cysteine of cognate E1s, mimicking the tetrahedral intermediate of the E1-UBL-AMP complex. These probes enable the structural and biochemical study of both canonical- and non-canonical E1s.
متن کاملFlavoenzyme catalysis: substrate-competitive inhibition of D-amino acid oxidase.
In an earlier paper from this laboratory (1) there were described the characteristics of competitive inhibition resulting from the interference of certain aromatic compounds with the association of flavin adenine dinucleotide and the separated protein of n-amino acid oxidase. Included among the inhibitors were auramine, quinine, and various other quinolines and anilines. We now present our find...
متن کاملReactive intermediates in cytochrome p450 catalysis.
Recently, we reported the spectroscopic and kinetic characterizations of cytochrome P450 compound I in CYP119A1, effectively closing the catalytic cycle of cytochrome P450-mediated hydroxylations. In this minireview, we focus on the developments that made this breakthrough possible. We examine the importance of enzyme purification in the quest for reactive intermediates and report the preparati...
