membrane | the enzyme comprises a transmembrane (TM) domain with five helices and cytoplasmic loops that together form a large charged cavity. The cytoplasmic cavity primarily comprises TM1, TM2, TM3 and TM4, and is loosely occluded by TM5. The remaining portion of the cavity is formed by two cytoplasmic loops (CLs): CL1 (between TM1 and TM2) and CL2 (between TM3 and TM4). CL1 and CL2 form the cytoplasmic domain (CPD), which caps the transmembrance domain (TMD). CL1, which is longer than CL2, is stabilized by packing against one side of TM3 | Aeropyrum pernix | 16020 | - |

evolution | structural comparisons and analyses, combined with functional studies, not only elucidated the mechanism governing the biosynthesis of phospholipids with ether-bonded isoprenoid chains by CTP transferase, but also provided insights into the evolution of this enzyme superfamily from archaea to bacteria and eukaryotes | Aeropyrum pernix |
additional information | the enzyme comprises a transmembrane domain with five helices and cytoplasmic loops that together form a large charged cavity providing a binding site for CTP, modeling of the specific lipophilic substrate-binding site. Archaeol binds within two hydrophobic membrane-embedded grooves formed by the flexible transmembrane helix 5 (TM5), together with TM1 and TM4. CTP binds to one side of the central cavity of ApCarS and stabilizes the CPD through tight contacts. Recognition of CTP by ApCarS occurs through a combination of extensive polar and hydrophobic interactions, detailed overview | Aeropyrum pernix |
