摘要: Isocitrate dehydrogenase kinase/phosphatase (AceK) is the founding member of protein phosphorylation system in prokaryotes. Based on novel and unique structural characteristics AceK recently uncovered, we sought to understand its kinase reaction mechanism, along with other features involved phosphotransfer process. Herein report density functional theory QM calculations mechanism catalysed by AceK. The transition states located indicate that reaction, AceK, follows a dissociative Asp457 serving as catalytic base accept proton delivered substrate. Our results also revealed prefers single Mg2+-containing active site reaction. roles conserved residues are discussed.
