Publication Abstract from PubMed BACKGROUND: The allosteric hexameric enzyme glucosamine-6-phosphate deaminase from Escherichia coli catalyses the regulatory step of N-acetylglucosamine catabolism, which consists of the isomerisation and deamination of glucosamine 6-phosphate (GlcN6P) to form fructose 6-phosphate (Fru6P) and ammonia. The reversibility of the catalysis and its rapid-equilibrium random kinetic mechanism, among other properties, make this enzyme a good model for studying allosteric processes. RESULTS: Here we present the structure of P6(3)22 crystals, obtained in sodium acetate, of GlcN6P deaminase in its ligand-free T state. These crystals are very sensitive to X-ray radiation and have a high (78%) solvent content. The activesite lid (residues 162-185) is highly disordered in the T conformer; this may contribute significantly to the free-energy change of the whole allosteric transition. Comparison of the structure with the crystallographic coordinates of the R conformer (Brookhaven Protein Data Bank entry 1 dea) allows us to describe the geometrical changes associated with the allosteric transition as the movement of two rigid entities within each monomer. The active site, located in a deep cleft between these two rigid entities, presents a more open geometry in the T conformer than in the R conformer. CONCLUSIONS: The differences in active-site geometry are related to alterations in the substrate-binding properties associated with the allosteric transition. The rigid nature of the two mobile structural units of each monomer seems to be essential in order to explain the observed kinetics of the deaminase hexamer. The triggers for both the homotropic and heterotropic allosteric transitions are discussed and particular residues are assigned to these functions. A structural basis for an entropic term in the allosteric transition is an interesting new feature that emerges from this study.
