Natural product family 18 chitinase inhibitors.
Ole Andreas Andersen received hisM.Sc and Ph.D from theUniversity of Tromsø, Norway, in 1998 and 2003, respectively. His Ph.Dwork was supervised by Prof. Edward Hough and comprised crystallographic and biochemical studies on human phenylalanine hydroxylase. Andersen had a postdoctoral fellowship for one year at The Norwegian Structural Biology Centre in Tromsø under the supervision of Prof. Arn...
متن کاملStructural insights into the catalytic mechanism of a family 18 exo-chitinase.
Chitinase B (ChiB) from Serratia marcescens is a family 18 exo-chitinase whose catalytic domain has a TIM-barrel fold with a tunnel-shaped active site. We have solved structures of three ChiB complexes that reveal details of substrate binding, substrate-assisted catalysis, and product displacement. The structure of an inactive ChiB mutant (E144Q) complexed with a pentameric substrate (binding i...
متن کاملFamily 18 chitinase-oligosaccharide substrate interaction: subsite preference and anomer selectivity of Serratia marcescens chitinase A.
The sizes and anomers of the products formed during the hydrolysis of chitin oligosaccharides by the Family 18 chitinase A (ChiA) from Serratia marcescens were analysed by hydrophilic interaction chromatography using a novel approach in which reactions were performed at 0 degrees C to stabilize the anomer conformations of the initial products. Crystallographic studies of the enzyme, having the ...
متن کاملMolecular mechanism of force generation by dynein, a molecular motor belonging to the AAA+ family.
Dynein is an AAA+ (ATPase associated with various cellular activities)-type motor complex that utilizes ATP hydrolysis to actively drive microtubule sliding. The dynein heavy chain (molecular mass >500 kDa) contains six tandemly linked AAA+ modules and exhibits full motor activities. Detailed molecular dissection of this motor with unique architecture was hampered by the lack of an expression s...
متن کاملEvolution of mammalian chitinase(-like) members of family 18 glycosyl hydrolases.
Family 18 of glycosyl hydrolases encompasses chitinases and so-called chi-lectins lacking enzymatic activity due to amino acid substitutions in their active site. Both types of proteins widely occur in mammals although these organisms lack endogenous chitin. Their physiological function(s) as well as evolutionary relationships are still largely enigmatic. An overview of all family members is pr...
