Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) is a multifunctional enzyme that plays critical roles in bacterial pathogenesis in some pathogenic bacteria. In this study, the crystal structure of group B streptococcus GAPDH was determined at 1.36 Å resolution. The structure contained an asymmetric mixed holo tetramer, with two NAD ligands bound to two protomers. Further structural analysis identified interesting phosphate ion-binding sites, which shed light on its catalytic mechanism.
甘油醛-3-磷酸脱氢酶(GAPDH)是一种多功能酶,在某些病原菌的细菌致病过程中发挥关键作用。在本研究中,B族链球菌GAPDH的晶体结构在1.36 Å分辨率下得以确定。该结构包含一个不对称的混合全四聚体,有两个NAD配体与两个原体结合。进一步的结构分析确定了有趣的磷酸根离子结合位点,这为其催化机制提供了线索。
