Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance. Ligands: SO4 NonStd Res: CXM Related: 2fto, 2ftq Gene: thyA (Escherichia coli) Activity: Thymidylate synthase, with EC number 2.1.1.45 Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, RCSB, PDBsum Function [TYSY_ECOLI] Provides the sole de novo source of dTMP for DNA biosynthesis. This protein also binds to its mRNA thus repressing its own translation. Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMed Tyr94 of Escherichia coli thymidylate synthase is thought to be involved, either directly or by activation of a water molecule, in the abstraction of a proton from C5 of the 2'-deoxyuridine 5'-monophosphate (dUMP) substrate. Mutation of Tyr94 leads to a 400-fold loss in catalytic activity. The structure of the Y94F mutant has been determined in the native state and as a ternary complex with thymidine 5'-monophosphate (dTMP) and 10-propargyl 5,8-dideazafolate (PDDF). There are no structural changes ascribable to the mutation other than loss of a water molecule hydrogen bonded to the tyrosine OH, which is consistent with a catalytic role for the phenolic OH.
