Abstract excerpt
The enzyme 4-oxalocrotonate tautomerase (4-OT) is part of a catabolic pathway for aromatic hydrocarbons in Pseudomonas putida mt-2, where it catalyzes the conversion of 2-hydroxy-2,4-hexadienedioate(1) to 2-oxo-3-hexenedioate(2). 4-OT is a member of the tautomerase superfamily, a group of homologous proteins that are characterized by a β-α-β structural fold and a catalytic amino-terminal proline. In the mechanism...
