More | the enzyme contains an exo-membrane nitrilase domain fused to a transmembrane (TM) domain. The TM domain of Lnt contains eight TM helices which form a membrane-embedded cavity with a lateral opening and a periplasmic exit. The nitrilase domain is located on the periplasmic side of the membrane, with its catalytic cavity connected to the periplasmic exit of the TM domain. An amphipathic lid loop from the nitrilase domain interacts with the periplasmic lipid leaflet, forming an interfacial entrance from the lipid bilayer to the catalytic centre for both the lipid donor and acceptor substrates.

General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
evolution | the enzyme is a member of the nitrilase superfamily which catalyses hydrolysis or condensation of carbon-nitrogen amine and nitrile bonds | Escherichia coli |
metabolism | in Gram-negative bacteria, lipid modification of proteins is catalysed in a three-step pathway. Apolipoprotein N-acyl transferase (Lnt) catalyses the third step in this pathway, whereby it transfers an acyl chain from a phospholipid to the amine group of the N-terminal cysteine residue of the apolipoprotein | Escherichia coli |
additional information | catalytic mechanism two-step reaction catalysed by Lnt, catalytic residue Cys387, the transacylation reaction uses a ping-pong mechanism, structure of the active site with catalytic triad and Glu343, overview. Lnt activity depends on its affinity to the lipid substrate. The enzyme contains an exo-membrane nitrilase domain fused to a transmembrane (TM) domain. The TM domain of Lnt contains eight TM helices which form a membrane-embedded cavity with a lateral opening and a periplasmic exit. The nitrilase domain is located on the periplasmic side of the membrane, with its catalytic cavity connected to the periplasmic exit of the TM domain. An amphipathic lid loop from the nitrilase domain interacts with the periplasmic lipid leaflet, forming an interfacial entrance from the lipid bilayer to the catalytic centre for both the lipid donor and acceptor substrates. Essential Lnt residues are located within the central cavity. Molecular dynamics simulations | Escherichia coli |
