substrate-binding cleft pattern of SaPth, the cleft is conservatively composed of three segments, namely, a base loop (Gly106-Gly113 in SaPth), a gate loop (Leu89-Val100 in SaPth), and a lid loop (Gly134-Gln148 in SaPth). The base loop constitutes one side of the cleft, and the gate loop and lid loop form the other side of the cleft. A structural comparison among all of the substrate-free structures in Pths reveals three different states of substrate-binding clefts; one state is the closed state (the substrate-binding cleft is closed at both the lid and gate loops, such as in SpPth), the second is the semi-closure state (the substrate-binding cleft is closed at the gate loop but wide-open at the lid loop, such as in MtPth and MsPth), and the third is the open state (the substrate-binding cleft is wide-open when both the lid and gate loops are away from the base loop)

peptidyl-tRNA hydrolase (Pth) catalyzes the release of tRNA to relieve peptidyl-tRNA accumulation. The enzyme activity is essential for the viability of bacteria
enzyme SaPth was a monomer in solution, the dimerization of SaPth in the crystal may be related to the crystal-packing environment. Four parallel beta-strands (beta1, beta4, beta5, and beta7) form a twisted beta-sheet in the center of the molecule, two beta-strands (beta2 and beta3) are antiparallel to the beta-sheet and are located at one side of the center beta-sheet, and the third antiparallel beta-strand (beta6) is located at the other side. The beta-structure is surrounded at both sides by helices, overview
