Publication Abstract from PubMed The three-dimensional structure of Salmonella typhimurium aspartyl dipeptidase, peptidase E, was solved crystallographically and refined to 1.2-A resolution. The structure of this 25-kDa enzyme consists of two mixed beta-sheets forming a V, flanked by six alpha-helices. The active site contains a Ser-His-Glu catalytic triad and is the first example of a serine peptidase/protease with a glutamate in the catalytic triad. The active site Ser is located on a strand-helix motif reminiscent of that found in alpha/beta-hydrolases, but the polypeptide fold and the organization of the catalytic triad differ from those of the known serine proteases. This enzyme is a member of a family of serine hydrolases and appears to represent a new example of convergent evolution of peptidase activity. The structure of aspartyl dipeptidase reveals a unique fold with a Ser-His-Glu catalytic triad.,Hakansson K, Wang AH, Miller CG Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2000 Dec 19;97(26):14097-102.
