STRUCTURE OF PHOSPHOTRANSFERASE PHOSPHOGLUCOMUTASE FROM RABBIT
Structural highlights
FunctionPGM1_RABIT This enzyme participates in both the breakdown and synthesis of glucose. Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMedData between 6.0 and 2.4 A resolution, collected at 253 K, wer used to refine a revised atomic model of muscle phosphoglucomutase: final crystallographic R factor = 16.3% (Rfree = 19.1%); final r.m.s. deviations from ideal bond lengths and angles = 0.018 A and 3.2 degrees, respectively. Features of the protein that were recognized only in the revised model include: the disposition of water molecules within domain-domain interfaces; two ion pairs buried in domain-domain interfaces, one of which is a structural arginine around which the active-site phosphoserine loop is wound; the basic architecture of the active-site 'crevice', which is a groove in a 1(1/3)-turn helix, open at both ends, that is produced by the interfacing of the four domains; the distorted hexacoordinate ligand sphere of the active-site Mg2+, where the enzymic phosphate group acts as a bidentate ligand; a pair of arginine residues in domain IV that form part of the enzymic phosphate-binding site (distal subsite) whose disposition in the two monomers of the asymmetric unit is affected unequally by distant crystallographic contacts; structural differences throughout domain IV, produced by these differing contacts, that may mimic solution differences induced by substrate binding; large differences in individually refined Debye-Waller thermal factors for corresponding main-chain atoms in monomers (1) and (2), suggesting a dynamic disorder within the crystal that may involve domain-size groups of residues; and a 'nucleophilic elbow' in the active site that resides in a topological environment differing from previous descriptions of this type of structure in other proteins.
