The Pdx1 enzyme catalyses condensation of two carbohydrates and ammonia to form pyridoxal 5-phosphate (PLP) an imine relay mechanism of carbonyl intermediates. The I intermediate characterised here using structural, UV-vis absorption spectroscopy and mass spectrometry analyses rationalises stereoselective deprotonation and subsequent substrate assisted phosphate elimination, central to PLP biosynthesis.
Pdx1 酶催化两种碳水化合物与氨缩合形成磷酸吡哆醛(PLP),这是一种通过羰基中间体的亚胺中继机制。本文利用结构、紫外可见吸收光谱和质谱分析对 I 中间体进行了表征,该中间体解释了立体选择性去质子化以及随后底物辅助的磷酸消除反应,这是 PLP 生物合成的核心。
