Publication Abstract from PubMedWe report here the crystal structure of retinol dehydratase, an enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of anhydroretinol. The enzyme is a member of the sulfotransferase superfamily and its crystal structure reveals the insertion of a helical lid into a canonical sulfotransferase fold. Site-directed mutations demonstrate that this inserted lid is necessary for anhydroretinol production but not for sulfonation; thus, insertion of a helical lid can convert a sulfotransferase into a dehydratase. A helical lid converts a sulfotransferase to a dehydratase.,Pakhomova S, Kobayashi M, Buck J, Newcomer ME Nat Struct Biol. 2001 May;8(5):447-51.
