additional information | a three-dimensional atomic scale model of class I hyaluronan synthase enzymes is presented to gain insights on functional features. 9 hyaluronan synthase-specific sub-structural elements are identified. Docking studies with UDP-substrates in the enzyme show highly overlapping single binding sites for the two UDP-substrates. In-silico and mutation studies identify functional elements implicated in polymer binding and influencing hyaluronic acid production. The studies indicate a substrate binding role for Lys139, and a critical role for Gln248 and Thr283. Anisotropic Network Modeling (ANM)-based model is analysed to assess collective global dynamics in the enzyme. Based on ligand binding landscape and architecture of functional elements, a plausible three-step molecular mechanism to extend hyaluronic acid polymer from its reducing end is proposed. The release of UDP from polymeric end may be required for glycosyltransferase reaction | Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus | ? | - |
