摘要: ConspectusPorphobilinogen synthase (PBGS), also known as 5-aminolevulinate dehydratase, is an essential enzyme in the biosynthesis of all tetrapyrroles, which function respiration, photosynthesis, and methanogenesis. Throughout evolution, PBGS adapted to a diversity cellular niches evolved use unusual variety metal ions both for catalytic control protein multimerization. With regard active site, some PBGSs require Zn2+; subset those, including human PBGS, contain constellation cysteine residues that acts sink environmental toxin Pb2+. do not soft ion Zn2+ at site instead are suspected using hard Mg2+.The most unexpected property family enzymes dissociative allosteric mechanism utilizes equilibrium architecturally functionally distinct assemblies. The high-activity assembly octamer intersubunit interactions modulate active-site lid m...
