You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMed To understand the basis for the lower activity of the tryptophan synthase beta(2) subunit in comparison to the alpha(2)beta(2) complex, we determined the crystal structures of apo-beta(2) and holo-beta(2) from Escherichia coli at 3.0 and 2.9 A resolutions, respectively. To our knowledge, this is the first report of both beta(2) subunit structures with and without pyridoxal-5'-phosphate. The apo-type molecule retained a dimeric form in solution, as in the case of the holo-beta(2) subunit. The subunit structures of both the apo-beta(2) and the holo-beta(2) forms consisted of two domains, namely the N domain and the C domain. Although there were significant structural differences between the apo- and holo-structures, they could be easily superimposed with a 22 degrees rigid body rotation of the C domain. The pyridoxal-5'-phosphate-bound holo-form had multiple interactions between the two domains and a long loop (residues 260-310), which were missing in the apo-form. Comparison of the structures of holo-Ecbeta(2) and Stbeta(2) in the alpha(2)beta(2) complex from Salmonella typhimurium (Stalpha(2)beta(2)) identified the cause of the lower enzymatic activity of holo-Ecbeta(2) in comparison with Stalpha(2)beta(2). The substrate (indole) gate residues, Tyr279 and Phe280, block entry of the substrate into the beta(2) subunit, although the indole can directly access the active site as a result of a wider cleft between the N and C domains in the holo-Ecbeta(2) subunit. In addition, the structure around betaAsp305 of the holo-Ecbeta(2) subunit was similar to the open state of Stalpha(2)beta(2) with low activity, resulting in lower activity of holo-Ecbeta(2).
