==Overview==
Escherichia coli asparaginase II catalyzes the hydrolysis of L-asparagine, to L-aspartate via a threonine-bound acyl-enzyme intermediate. A nearly, inactive mutant in which one of the active site threonines, Thr-89, was, replaced by valine was constructed, expressed, and crystallized. Its, structure, solved at 2.2 A resolution, shows high overall similarity to, the wild-type enzyme, but an aspartyl moiety is covalently bound to, Thr-12, resembling a reaction intermediate. Kinetic analysis confirms the, deacylation deficiency, which is also explained on a structural basis. The, previously identified oxyanion hole is described in more detail.
