Crystallization (Commentary)

Crystallization (Comment) Organism
crystal structures of active LasA as a complex with tartrate and in the uncomplexed form, to 1.28 A resolution. The overall fold resembles that of the other M23 family members, the LasA active site is less constricted and utilizes a different set of metal ligands. The active site of uncomplexed LasA contains a five-coordinate zinc ion with trigonal bipyramidal geometry and two metal-bound water molecules. Manual docking study of the pentapeptide Gly-Gly-Phe-Gly-Gly in the active site so that the carbonyl oxygen of the scissile peptide occupies the approximate position of Tyr151-bound tartrate oxygen O1 and the P2 and P1 glycines follow the path of the tartrate carbon skeleton Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Reaction

Reaction Comment Organism Reaction ID
proteolytic degradation of proteins substrate carbonyl oxygen displaces Zn2+-bound water molecule 2, thereby enabling direct interaction with Zn2+ to polarize the peptide carbonyl bond, rendering it susceptible to nucleophilic attack by the second Zn2+-bound water molecule, water molecule1. Water molecule 1 is oriented by interactions with the Nepsilon atoms of both His120 and His81, while that with Zn2+ is weakened. Either of these residues is capable of abstracting a proton from water molecule 1, enabling its addition, as hydroxide, to the substrate carbonyl carbon to generate an oxyanion that is stabilized by bidentate co-ordination of Zn2+ and by interaction with the unprotonated His residue. Proton transfer from the histidine general base to the departing amide nitrogen facilitates cleavage of the peptide bond to generate a product complex Pseudomonas aeruginosa
