FPGS binds to ATP, glutamate and folate (THF-(glu)n). Once <scene name='74/748269/Folate/1'>folate is bound</scene>, the enzyme undergoes a <scene name='74/748269/Folate_binding/2'>conformational change</scene> into the active form. In the <scene name='74/748269/Glu/1'>Yersinia pestis structure</scene> 3qcz, glutamate and ATP are bound but the folate binding site is empty.
