Application

Application Comment Organism
medicine modification of the lipid A moiety of lipopolysaccharide by the addition of the sugar 4-amino-4-deoxy-L-arabinose is a strategy adopted by pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria to evade cationic antimicrobial peptides produced by the innate immune system. L-Ara4N biosynthesis is therefore a potential anti-infective target Escherichia coli

Cloned(Commentary)

Cloned (Comment) Organism
overexpression of native and selenomethionine decarboxylase and formyltransferase domains of ArnA Escherichia coli

Crystallization (Commentary)

Crystallization (Comment) Organism
crystallization of native and Se-Met decarboxylase protein. Good quality crystals are obtained with a precipitant solution of 3.2 M NaCl, 0.1 M Bistris, pH 5.2, using a drop containing 0.004 ml of protein and 0.004 ml of precipitant equilibrated against a reservoir of 0.1 ml of precipitant. Space group as P4(1)3(2), with cell dimensions a = b = c = 149.4 A, beta = gamma = 90° Escherichia coli

Protein Variants

Protein Variants Comment Organism
E434Q mutant is inactive, suggesting that chemical rather than steric properties of this residue are crucial in the decarboxylation reaction Escherichia coli

UDP-glucuronate + NAD+ Escherichia coli modification of the lipid A moiety of lipopolysaccharide by the addition of the sugar 4-amino-4-deoxy-L-arabinose is a strategy adopted by pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria to evade cationic antimicrobial peptides produced by the innate immune system. The bifunctional enzyme ArnA is required for 4-amino-4-deoxy-L-arabinose biosynthesis and catalyzes the NAD+-dependent oxidative decarboxylation of UDP-glucuronic acid to generate a UDP-4'-keto-pentose sugar and also catalyzes transfer of a formyl group from N-10-formyltetrahydrofolate to the 4'-amine of UDP-4-amino-4-deoxy-L-arabinose UDP-beta-L-threo-pentapyranos-4-ulose + CO2 + NADH + H+

Residues Ser433 and Glu434 of the decarboxylase domain are required for the oxidative decarboxylation of UDP-glucuronate. Decarboxylase domain catalyzes both hydride abstraction (oxidation) from the C-4' position and the subsequent decarboxylation Escherichia coli UDP-beta-L-threo-pentapyranos-4-ulose + CO2 + NADH + H+
