Ligands: CA, GLU, MG Gene: PA5508 (PSEAE) Activity: Glutamate--putrescine ligase, with EC number 6.3.1.11 Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Publication Abstract from PubMed The structure of PA5508 from Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a glutamine synthetase (GS) homologue, has been determined at 2.5 A. Surprisingly, PA5508 forms single hexameric rings rather than the stacked double rings that are characteristic of GS. The C-terminal helical thong motif that links GS rings is present in PA5508; however, it is folded back toward the core of its own polypeptide, preventing it from interacting with a second ring. Interestingly, PA5508 displays a clear preference for aromatic amine substrates. Unique aspects of the structure illustrate how the enzyme is able to catalyze reactions involving bulky amines rather than ammonia.
