Crystal Structure of T.th.HB8 Serine HydroxymethyltransferaseCrystal Structure of T.th.HB8 Serine Hydroxymethyltransferase
Structural highlights
FunctionGLYA_THET8 Catalyzes the reversible interconversion of serine and glycine with tetrahydrofolate (THF) serving as the one-carbon carrier. This reaction serves as the major source of one-carbon groups required for the biosynthesis of purines, thymidylate, methionine, and other important biomolecules. Also exhibits THF-independent aldolase activity toward beta-hydroxyamino acids, producing glycine and aldehydes, via a retro-aldol mechanism.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00051] Evolutionary Conservation![]() Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.
