Reaction Mechanism
Soluble inorganic pyrophosphate is present in all organisms, and is essential for cell growth. It provides an entropic pull for biosynthetic reactions involving nucleotide triphosphates by irreversibly hydrolysing the pyrophosphate product to orthophosphate. The phosphoryltransferase activity is an ancient one, and there are functional similarities between the active site of this enzyme and alkaline phosphatase and other divalent cation containing enzymes such as exonucleases and polymerases.
This reaction begins with the coordination of three divalent metal ions into the active site as well as a water molecule from the aqueous solution. The metal ions coordinate a diphosphate into the active site while Asp89 deprotonates a water molecule. The resulting hydroxide attacks the proximal phosphate. This, in combination with the metals dissociating from the active site results in the release of two phosphate molecules. His21 and His86 are responsible for divalent metal selectivity and are major features distinguishing the Mtb PPiase from other characterised PPiases but aren't shown in this mechanism because they don't directly contribute to the catalysis reaction.
