Title Support for a three-Dimensional structure predicting a cys-Glu-Lys catalytic triad for pseudomonas aeruginosa amidase comes from site-Directed mutagenesis and mutations altering substrate specificity.
Authors C.Novo, S.Farnaud, R.Tata, A.Clemente, P.R.Brown.

PubMed id 11955282
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.

Figure 2.
Structure determination of NitFhit. (a) A portion of the 2.8 Å experimental electron density map in stereo. The map was contoured at 1.5 σ and superimposed on the refined atomic model. (b) Stereo ribbon view of the Nit domain of a NitFhit monomer (northern conformation). Secondary structural elements are indicated. The Fhit domain, carboxy terminal to the Nit domain, and three additional subunits of the NitFhit tetramer are not shown. N, amino terminus; C, carboxyl terminus of the Nit domain.

A putative Nit active site. The region around Cys169, a residue conserved in nitrilases, is conserved in Nit proteins. Residues aligning with Cys169, Glu54 and Lys127 are predicted to form a catalytic triad in the nitrilase superfamily. A putative Nit active site.
