CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF TERNARY COMPLEX OF TRITRICHOMONAS FOETUS INOSINE-5'-MONOPHOSPHATE DEHYDROGENASE: STRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION OF NAD+ SITE IN MICROBIAL ENZYMECRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF TERNARY COMPLEX OF TRITRICHOMONAS FOETUS INOSINE-5'-MONOPHOSPHATE DEHYDROGENASE: STRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION OF NAD+ SITE IN MICROBIAL ENZYME
Structural highlights
1lrt is a 4 chain structure with sequence from Tritrichomonas suis. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
IMDH_TRIFO Catalyzes the conversion of inosine 5'-phosphate (IMP) to xanthosine 5'-phosphate (XMP), the first committed and rate-limiting step in the de novo synthesis of guanine nucleotides, and therefore plays an important role in the regulation of cell growth. Could also have a single-stranded nucleic acid-binding activity and could play a role in RNA and/or DNA metabolism.[1]
