Crystal structure of serine hydroxymethyltransferase from Campylobacter jejuniCrystal structure of serine hydroxymethyltransferase from Campylobacter jejuni
Structural highlights
3n0l is a 2 chain structure with sequence from Campylobacter jejuni. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
GLYA_CAMJE 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 (By similarity).[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00051]
