Journal ArticleDOI

A serine protease triad forms the catalytic centre of a triacylglycerol lipase.

TL;DR: The X-ray structure of the Mucor miehei triglyceride lipase is reported and the atomic model obtained reveals a Ser .. His .. Asp trypsin-like catalytic triad with an active serine buried under a short helical fragment of a long surface loop.
Journal ArticleDOI

A model for interfacial activation in lipases from the structure of a fungal lipase-inhibitor complex

TL;DR: It is proposed that the structure of the enzyme in this complex of R. miehei lipase with n-hexylphosphonate ethyl ester is equivalent to the activated state generated by the oil–water interface.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural origins of the interfacial activation in Thermomyces (Humicola) lanuginosa lipase.

TL;DR: Five new Thermomyces (formerly Humicola) lanuginosa lipase (TlL) crystal structures have been solved and compared with four previously reported structures of this enzyme, suggesting that the sequence of the structural changes, as exemplified in various TlL crystal structures, mirror those that may occur during interfacial activation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure and mechanism of a bacterial beta-glucosaminidase having O-GlcNAcase activity

TL;DR: Mutagenesis and kinetics studies show that the bacterial enzyme, very similarly to its human counterpart, operates via an unusual 'substrate-assisted' catalytic mechanism, which will inform the rational design of enzyme inhibitors.
