Crystal structure of human AP4A hydrolase E58A mutant
Structural highlights
FunctionAP4A_HUMAN Asymmetrically hydrolyzes Ap4A to yield AMP and ATP. Plays a major role in maintaining homeostasis. Publication Abstract from PubMedApA hydrolase (asymmetrical diadenosine tetraphosphate hydrolase, EC 3.6.1.17), an enzyme involved in a number of biological processes, is characterized as cleaving the polyphosphate chain at the fourth phosphate from the bound adenosine moiety. This paper presents the crystal structure of wild-type and E58A mutant human ApA hydrolase. Similar to the canonical Nudix fold, human ApA hydrolase shows the common alphabetaalpha-sandwich architecture. Interestingly, two sulfate ions and one diphosphate coordinated with some conserved residues were observed in the active cleft, which affords a better understanding of a possible mode of substrate binding.
