FunctionEvolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMedFuculose phosphate aldolase catalyzes the reversible cleavage of L-fuculose-1-phosphate to dihydroxyacetone phosphate and L-lactaldehyde. The protein from Thermus thermophilus HB8 is a biological tetramer with a subunit molecular weight of 21 591 Da. Purified FucA has been crystallized using sitting-drop vapour-diffusion and microbatch techniques at 293 K. The crystals belong to space group P4, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 100.94, c = 45.87 A. The presence of a dimer of the enzyme in the asymmetric unit was estimated to give a Matthews coefficient (VM) of 2.7 A3 Da(-1) and a solvent content of 54.2%(v/v). Three-wavelength diffraction MAD data were collected to 2.3 A from zinc-containing crystals. Native diffraction data to 1.9 A resolution have been collected using synchrotron radiation at SPring-8.
