==Overview==
==Overview==
Gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT) is a heterodimic enzyme that is, generated from the precursor protein through posttranslational processing, and catalyzes the hydrolysis of gamma-glutamyl bonds in gamma-glutamyl, compounds such as glutathione and/or the transfer of the gamma-glutamyl, group to other amino acids and peptides. We have determined the crystal, structure of GGT from Escherichia coli K-12 at 1.95 A resolution. GGT has, a stacked alphabetabetaalpha fold comprising the large and small subunits, similar to the folds seen in members of the N-terminal nucleophile, hydrolase superfamily. The active site Thr-391, the N-terminal residue of, the small subunit, is located in the groove, from which the pocket for, gamma-glutamyl moiety binding follows. We have further determined the, structure of the gamma-glutamyl-enzyme intermediate trapped by flash, cooling the GGT crystal soaked in glutathione solution and the structure, of GGT in complex with l-glutamate. These structures revealed how the, gamma-glutamyl moiety and l-glutamate are recognized by the enzyme. A, water molecule was seen on the carbonyl carbon of the, gamma-glutamyl-Thr-391 Ogamma bond in the intermediate that is to be, hydrolyzed. Notably the residues essential for GGT activity (Arg-114, Asp-433, Ser-462, and Ser-463 in E. coli GGT) shown by site-directed, mutagenesis of human GGT are all involved in the binding of the, gamma-glutamyl moiety. The structure of E. coli GGT presented here, together with sequence alignment of GGTs, may be applicable to interpret, the biochemical and genetic data of other GGTs.
