Cloned(Commentary)

Cloned (Comment) Organism
cloned in Escherichia coli as a fusion protein with a 6xHis tag at the N-terminus Bacillus anthracis

Crystallization (Commentary)

Crystallization (Comment) Organism
crystallization trials are performed by the hanging-drop, vapor-diffusion method, X-ray structure analysis shows that RacE1 and RacE2 are both dimers with monomers arranged in a “tail-to-tail” orientation, RCSB Protein Data Bank: 2GZM Bacillus anthracis

Protein Variants

Protein Variants Comment Organism
V149A mutant V149A has about a 2fold higher kcat than wild-type RacE2 (67/sec versus 38/sec), and has a Km value for L-glutamate similar to that of RacE2 (4.6 mM versus 3.7 mM), in the reverse reaction, V149A has a higher kcat than RacE2 (4.9/sec versus 1.6/sec, respectively), and its Km value for D-glutamate is the same as that of RacE2 (0.2 mM) Bacillus anthracis

Inhibitors

Inhibitors Comment Organism Structure
(2R,4S)-2-amino-4-(2-naphthyl)methyl pentanedioic acid D-glutamate analog, good competitive inhibitor for RacE1; D-glutamate analog, only weak inhibitor of RacE2, but a potent competitive inhibitor for mutant V149A Bacillus anthracis
(2R,4S,E)-2-amino-4-(3-phenylprop-2-enyl)pentanedioic acid D-glutamate analog, good competitive inhibitor for RacE1; D-glutamate analog, only weak inhibitor of RacE2, but a potent competitive inhibitor for mutant V149A Bacillus anthracis
(4R,2S)-2-cinnamyl-4-amino-5-hydroxypentanoic acid D-glutamate analog, good competitive inhibitor for RacE1; D-glutamate analog, only weak inhibitor of RacE2, but a potent competitive inhibitor for mutant V149A Bacillus anthracis
