Abstract
|
 |
|
The aliphatic amidase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa belongs to the nitrilase
superfamily, and Cys(166) is the nucleophile of the catalytic mechanism. A model
of amidase was built by comparative modelling using the crystal structure of the
worm nitrilase-fragile histidine triad fusion protein (NitFhit; Protein Data
Bank accession number 1EMS) as a template. The amidase model predicted a
catalytic triad (Cys-Glu-Lys) situated at the bottom of a pocket and identical
with the presumptive catalytic triad of NitFhit. Three-dimensional models for
other amidases belonging to the nitrilase superfamily also predicted Cys-Glu-Lys
catalytic triads. Support for the structure for the P. aeruginosa amidase came
from site-direct mutagenesis and from the locations of amino acid residues that
altered substrate specificity or binding when mutated.

aligning with Cys169, Glu54 and Lys127 are predicted to form a
