Abstract excerpt
4-Oxalocrotonate tautomerase (4-OT) catalyzes the isomerization of 4-oxalocrotonate, 1, to 2-oxo-3E-hexenedioate, 3, using a general acid/base mechanism that involves a conserved N-terminal proline residue. The P1A and P1G mutants have been shown to catalyze this isomerization but at reduced rates. Analysis of these mutants by mass spectrometry demonstrated that P1A is susceptible to a 1,4-addition of the...
