5. The position of the carbonyl group of residue 41 (chymotrypsin numbering system) is conserved in all known structures of trypsin-like serine proteases [Brookhaven Protein Data Bank (PDB) iden-tification codes given]: chymotrypsin (4CHA), pancreatice elastase (3EST), rat mast cell protease 11 (3RP2), neutrophil elastase (1HNE), tonin (1TON), porcine pancreatic kallikrein A (2PKA), trypsin (3PTN), and the bacterial enzymes a-lytic protease (1 P01), Staphlococcus griseus trypsin (1 SGT), and S. griseus proteinase B (3SGB). The carbonyl oxygen atom aligns within 1.5 A for all of these and within 1.0 A for the seven mammalian enzymes. The disulfide bond linking residues Cys42 to Cys58 maybe strictly conserved in part because it is required for maintaining the orientation of the carbonyl oxygen at position 41 relative to the catalytic His57.6. The high-resolution crystal structures of subtilisin BPN'[CS Wright, RA Alden, J. Kraut, Nature 221, 235 (1969); PDB 1SBT] and of subtilisin Carlsberg complexes with eglin C [W. Bode, E. Papamoukos, D. Musil, U. Seemueller, H. Fritz, EMBO J. 5, 813 (1986); PDB 1CSE] were superimposed onto that of the neutrophil elastase (HNE) with the use of side chain atoms of the catalytic triad serine, histidine, and aspartateresidues. The carbonyl oxygen of residue Asn218 in the two subtilisin structures is displaced by 2 to 3 A relative to the equivalent carbonyl oxygen of residue 41 of HNE. However, the orientation and distance of this group with respect to the catalytic triad residues are similar in each enzyme. 7. The issue of whether His57 shifts position during leaving-group protonation is still unresolved. Various studies conducted in solution have reached conflicting conclusions [WW Bachovchin, Bio-chemistry 25, 7751 (1986); J. Kraut, Annu. Rev. Biochem. 46, 331 (1977); JH Wang, Proc. Nati. Acad. Sci. USA 66, 874 (1970)]. Crystal struc-tures of a-lytic protease complexes with peptide boronic acid and phosphonate transition state analogs show that the leaving-group oxygen atom (equivalent to the P1'-nitrogen of a protein sub-strate) is hydrogen-bonded to NEof His57 [R. Bone, AB Shenvi, C. A. Kettner, D. A. Agard, Biochemistry 26, 7609 (1987); R. Bone, N. S. Sampson, PA Bartlett, DA Agard, ibid. 30, 2263 (1991)]. Thissuggests that little movement of His57 may be required for leaving-group protonation.
