THE STRUCTURE OF BACILLUS SUBTILIS RBSD COMPLEXED WITH GLYCEROL
OverviewOverview
RbsD is the only protein whose biochemical function is unknown among the, six gene products of the rbs operon involved in the active transport of, ribose. FucU, a paralogue of RbsD conserved from bacteria to human, is, also the only protein whose function is unknown among the seven gene, products of the l-fucose regulon. Here we report the crystal structures of, Bacillus subtilis RbsD, which reveals a novel decameric toroidal assembly, of the protein. Nuclear magnetic resonance and other studies on RbsD, reveal that the intersubunit cleft of the protein binds specific forms of, d-ribose, but it does not have an enzyme activity toward the sugar., Likewise, FucU binds l-fucose but lacks an enzyme activity toward this, sugar. We conclude that RbsD and FucU are cytoplasmic sugar-binding, ... [(full description)]
