摘要: Undecaprenyl diphosphate synthase (UPS) catalyzes the cis-prenyl chain elongation onto trans, trans-farnesyl (FPP) to produce undecaprenyl (UPP), which is indispensable for biosynthesis of bacterial cell walls. We report here crystal structure UPS as only three-dimensional among elongating enzymes. The classified into a protein fold family and completely different from so-called “isoprenoid fold” that believed be common enzymes relating isoprenoid biosynthesis. Conserved amino acid residues are located around large hydrophobic cleft in structure. A structural P-loop motif, frequently appears various kinds phosphate binding site, found at entrance this cleft. catalytic site determined on basis these features, possible reaction mechanism proposed.
