Structure-guided identification of a new catalytic motif of oligosaccharyltransferase.
Asn-glycosylation is widespread not only in eukaryotes but also in archaea and some eubacteria. Oligosaccharyltransferase (OST) catalyzes the co-translational transfer of an oligosaccharide from a lipid donor to an asparagine residue in nascent polypeptide chains. Here, we report that a thermophilic archaeon, Pyrococcus furiosus OST is composed of the STT3 protein alone, and catalyzes the trans...
متن کاملFlavin-N5 Covalent Intermediate in a Nonredox Dehalogenation Reaction Catalyzed by an Atypical Flavoenzyme.
The flavin-dependent enzyme 2-haloacrylate hydratase (2-HAH) catalyzes the conversion of 2-chloroacrylate, a major component in the manufacture of acrylic polymers, to pyruvate. The enzyme was expressed in Escherichia coli, purified, and characterized. 2-HAH was shown to be monomeric in solution and contained a non-covalent, yet tightly bound, flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD). Although the cat...
متن کاملNew Light in Flavin Autofluorescence
Our attention was captured by the interesting debate on the identification of lipofuscins, lipofuscin-like lipopigments, or flavins as the responsible for intracellular autofluorescence (AF) detected in epithelial cancer stem cells when exciting at 480-490 nm. Evidence was provided leading to ascribe AF emission to flavins accumulating in cytoplasmic structures, bounded to membranes and bearing...
متن کاملAn extended N-H bond, driven by a conserved second-order interaction, orients the flavin N5 orbital in cholesterol oxidase
The protein microenvironment surrounding the flavin cofactor in flavoenzymes is key to the efficiency and diversity of reactions catalysed by this class of enzymes. X-ray diffraction structures of oxidoreductase flavoenzymes have revealed recurrent features which facilitate catalysis, such as a hydrogen bond between a main chain nitrogen atom and the flavin redox center (N5). A neutron diffract...
متن کاملCatalytic mechanism of Chlamydia trachomatis flavin-dependent thymidylate synthase.
Here we report on a Chlamydia trachomatis gene that complements the growth defect of a thymidylate synthase-deficient strain of Escherichia coli. The complementing gene encodes a 60.9-kDa protein that shows low level primary sequence homology to a new class of thymidylate-synthesizing enzymes, termed flavin-dependent thymidylate synthases (FDTS). Purified recombinant chlamydial FDTS (CTThyX) co...
