'''Enzyme I of the Phosphoenolpyruvate:Sugar Phosphotransferase System of Staphylococcus aureus'''


Here we report the crystal structure of  Enzyme I (EI) from Staphylococcus aureus which is the first component involved in the Sugar Phosphotransferase System (PTS) reaction cascade.
Here we report the crystal structure of  Enzyme I (EI) from Staphylococcus aureus which is the first component involved in the Sugar Phosphotransferase System (PTS) reaction cascade. EI is an enzyme of 572 residues and its tertiary structure is composed of 48% α helix and of 13% β-sheet. The crystal structure was obtained with a resolution of 2,40Ǻ.

EI is active only in its homodimeric form of 64kDa. As we said, EI consists of a N- and a C-terminal domain.

The X-ray structure of S. aureus EI (SaEI) has been recently solved but structures of other bacterias have been reported before, for instance E. coli EI structure (EcEI). Although SaEI and EcEI X-ray structures are nearly the same, some differences have been observed.

These two X-ray structures could actually be two possible conformations of the Enzyme I, corresponding to two steps of the phosphotransfer from PEP to HPr. EcEI structure correspond to the conformation II and SaEI structure correspond to the conformation I.

Knowing the structure of S. aureus EI allows a better comprehension of the PTS mechanism. But progresses could be still done such as the possible phenomena which induce the motions of the different domains.
