Phosphotriesterase catalyzes the hydrolysis of organophosphate nerve agents. Four amino acid residues, located within the active site pocket, were mutated in an effort to ascertain the roles that these groups play in the structure and function of this enzyme. Tryptophan-131 is located at the entrance to the binuclear metal center, and the indole ring is positioned to suggest that it could provi...
The kinetics of charge transfer depend crucially on the dielectric reorganization of the medium. In enzymatic reactions that involve charge transfer, atomic dielectric response of the active site and of its surroundings determines the efficiency of the protein as a catalyst. We report direct spectroscopic measurements of the reorganization energy associated with the dielectric response in the a...
Glucocerebrosidase (GBA) is a lysosomal β-glucosidase that degrades glucosylceramide. Its deficiency results in Gaucher disease (GD). We examined the effects of active site occupancy of GBA on its structural stability. For this, we made use of cyclophellitol-derived activity-based probes (ABPs) that bind irreversibly to the catalytic nucleophile (E340), and for comparison, we used the potent re...
The 11-cis-retinal binding site of rhodopsin is of great interest because it is buried in the membrane but yet must provide an environment for charged amino acids. In addition, the active-site lysine residue must be able to engage in rapid Schiff base formation with 11-cis-retinal at neutral and lower pH values. This requires that this lysine be unprotonated. We have begun to study the environm...
MOTIVATION Finding functionally analogous enzymes based on the local structures of active sites is an important problem. Conventional methods use templates of local structures to search for analogous sites, but their performance depends on the selection of atoms for inclusion in the templates. RESULTS The automatic selection of atoms so that site matches can be discriminated from mismatches. ...
New crystal structures of transcription complexes formed by bacteriophage T7 RNA polymerase reveal a nucleotide-addition cycle driven by active-site conformational changes similar to those observed in DNA polymerases, and suggest provocative hypotheses for the more complex multisubunit RNA polymerases of free-living organisms.
Clostripain is rapidly and selectively inactivated by the chloromethyl ketone derived from cr-N-tosyl-L-lysine (TLCK) with an apparent second order rate constant of 8.7 X lo4 M-I set-i at pH 6.5. Alkylation by TLCK occurs only with catalytically active enzyme, the rate of which is considerably retarded by the competitive inhibitors, oc-Ntosyl-L-homoarginine methyl ester and benzamidine. In cont...
