PRECURSOR OF THE W11F MUTANT GLYCOSYLASPARAGINASE FROM FLAVOBACTERIUM MENINGOSEPTICUM
Structural highlights
FunctionASPG_ELIMR Cleaves the GlcNAc-Asn bond which joins oligosaccharides to the peptide of asparagine-linked glycoproteins. Requires that the glycosylated asparagine moiety is not substituted on its N-(R1) and C- (R2) terminus. Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedA variety of proteins, including glycosylasparaginase, have recently been found to activate functions by self-catalyzed peptide bond rearrangements from single-chain precursors. Here we present the 1.9 A crystal structures of glycosylasparaginase precursors that are able to autoproteolyze via an N --> O acyl shift. Several conserved residues are aligned around the scissile peptide bond that is in a highly strained trans peptide bond configuration. The structure illustrates how a nucleophilic side chain may attack the scissile peptide bond at the immediate upstream backbone carbonyl and provides an understanding of the structural basis for peptide bond cleavage via an N --> O or N --> S acyl shift that is used by various groups of intramolecular autoprocessing proteins.
