Previously determined crystal structures of the zinc enzyme Escherichia coli class II fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase display good agreement for the protein structure but a differing metal-ion organization in the active site. The structure of the enzyme with Cd2+ in place of Zn2+ has now been determined to 2.0 Angstrom resolution to facilitate cation identification. The protein structure was essentially identical to other structures and five Cd2+ positions were identified. Two of the cations are at the active site; one corresponds to the catalytic ion and the other provides a structural contribution. These Cd2+ sites are equivalent to two Zn2+ ions observed when the enzyme is complexed with a transition-state mimic and confirm our assignment of the roles played by these ions.
