Partially refined 2.8 A Crystal structure of GDP-mannose dehydrogenase from P. aeruginosa
|
Overview
The enzyme GMD from Pseudomonas aeruginosa catalyzes the committed step in, the synthesis of the exopolysaccharide alginate. Alginate is a major, component of P. aeruginosa biofilms that protect the bacteria from the, host immune response and antibiotic therapy. The 1.55 A crystal structure, of GMD in ternary complex with its cofactor NAD(H) and product, GDP-mannuronic acid reveals that the enzyme forms a domain-swapped dimer, with two polypeptide chains contributing to each active site. The, extensive dimer interface provides multiple opportunities for intersubunit, communication. Comparison of the GMD structure with that of UDP-glucose, dehydrogenase reveals the structural basis of sugar binding specificity, that distinguishes these two related enzyme families. The high-resolution, structure of GMD provides detailed information on the active site of the, enzyme and a template for structure-based inhibitor design.
