T254A ternary complex molecular simulations. The mutation causes the opening of the loop 250-260 to loop 117-130, leading to a more dynamic and open distal pocket, accounting for the much lower substrate affinity (i.e. higher Km). On the other hand, the simulation data of the ferryl/L-indole 2,3-epoxide intermediate indicate that the T254A mutation also results in the opening of the loop 250-260 to loop 117-130. It leads to local reorganization of the H-bonding interactions surrounding the NH3+ group of the substrate, resulting in an open conformation, in which the H-bond between the NH3+ and the epoxide is temporarily lost Xanthomonas campestris
T342A site-directed mutagenesis, the mutation only slightly perturbs the global structural properties of the enzyme, but it totally abolishes the substrate stereoselectivity, substrate-free spectrum Homo sapiens

General Information

General Information Comment Organism
additional information molecular dynamics simulation studies, overview. Structural role of T342 in controlling the substrate stereoselectivity of the enzyme Homo sapiens
additional information Xanthomonas campestris TDO shows an H-bond between T254 and the ammonium group of the substrate is present in the L-Trp-bound enzyme, but not in the D-Trp bound enzyme, molecular dynamics simulation studies. T254 controls the substrate stereoselectivity of the enzyme by modulating the H-bonding interaction between the NH3-group and epoxide oxygen of the ferryl/indole 2,3-epoxide intermediate of the enzyme, and regulating the dynamics of two active site loops, loop250-260 and loop117-130, critical for substrate-binding, O2 and L-trp both are bound in the active site Xanthomonas campestris
physiological function the enzyme is responsible for L-Trp processing that ultimately leads to the biosynthesis of NAD+ and NADP+ Homo sapiens
