CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF E. COLI AMINE OXIDASE COMPLEXED WITH TRANYLCYPROMINE
Structural highlights
FunctionAMO_ECOLI The enzyme prefers aromatic over aliphatic amines. Evolutionary ConservationCheck, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMedThe X-ray crystal structure of the copper-containing quinoprotein amine oxidase from E. coli has been determined in complex with the antidepressant drug tranylcypromine to 2.4 A resolution. The drug is a racemic mix of two enantiomers, but only one is seen bound to the enzyme. The other enantiomer is not acting as a substrate for the enzyme as no catalytic activity was detected when the enzyme was initially exposed to the drug. The inhibition of human copper amine oxidases could be a source of side-effects in its use as an antidepressant to inhibit the flavin-containing monoamine oxidases in the brain. Medical implications from the crystal structure of a copper-containing amine oxidase complexed with the antidepressant drug tranylcypromine.,Wilmot CM, Saysell CG, Blessington A, Conn DA, Kurtis CR, McPherson MJ, Knowles PF, Phillips SE FEBS Lett. 2004 Oct 22;576(3):301-5.
