  ABSTRACT  
 
Aspartate beta-semialdehyde dehydrogenase (ASADH) lies at the first branch point in an essential aspartic biosynthetic pathway found in bacteria, fungi and the higher plants. Mutations in the asd gene encoding for ASADH that produce an inactive enzyme are lethal, which suggests that ASADH may be an effective target for antibacterial, herbicidal and fungicidal agents.We have solved the crystal structure of the Escherichia coli enzyme to 2.5 A resolution using single isomorphous replacement and 3-fold non-crystallographic symmetry. Each monomer has an N-terminal nucleotide-binding domain and a dimerisation domain. The presence of an essential cysteine locates the active site in a cleft between the two domains. The functional dimer has the appearance of a butterfly, with the NADP-binding domains forming the wings and the dimerisation domain forming the body.A histidine residue is identified as a likely acid/base catalyst in the enzymic reaction. Other amino acids implicated in the enzymic activity by mutagenesis are found in the active site region and define the substrate binding pocket.

Figure 4.
Figure 4. Comparison of the aspartate-b-semialdehyde dehydrogenase and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogen- ase, which perform similar chemistry. (a) Structure-based sequence alignment of ASADH and GAPDH. Secondary struc- ture elements are represented by cylinders (a-helix) and arrows (b-strands), above the sequence for ASADH and below for GAPDH. The NAD(P)-binding fold fingerprint glycine residues and catalytic cysteine residues are boxed and similar residues are shaded (Barton, 1993). (b) Stereo views showing C a traces of the superimposed structures of B. stearothermo- philus GAPDH (grey) and E. coli ASADH (black). Numbering corresponds to ASADH sequence. (i) Dimerisation domain (ii) NADP-binding domain. The Figure was prepared using MOLSCRIPT (Kraulis, 1991).
Figure 5.
Figure 5. Cartoon representation of the active sites of GAPDH (grey) and ASADH (black). A sulphate (shown in grey) is observed in the GAPDH crystal structure and is believed to indicate part of the substrate binding site. The Figure was prepared using MOLSCRIPT (Kraulis, 1991).

The most recent references are shown first. Citation data come partly from CiteXplore and partly from an automated harvesting procedure. Note that this is likely to be only a partial list as not all journals are covered by either method. However, we are continually building up the citation data so more and more references will be included with time. Where a reference describes a PDB structure, the PDB codes are shown on the right.
