Both orotate and fumarate bind to the same active site and exploit similar interactions, consistent with a ping-pong mechanism. Rearrangements in the conformation of the catalytic loop have direct influence on the dimeric interface 724484 1.3.98.1 by sitting-drop vapor-diffusion technique, to 2.4 A resolution 671050 1.3.98.1 by the vapour-diffusion technique using lithium sulfate as the precipitating agent, to better than 2.0 A resolution, crystals belong to space group P61, presence of two molecules in the asymmetric unit 671092 1.3.98.1 crystallized by the vapour-diffusion technique using sitting and hanging drops (lithium sulfate as the precipitating agent). The crystals belong to space group P6(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 143.7, c = 69.8 A. X-ray diffraction data are collected to 2.0 A resolution using an in-house rotating-anode generator 671092 1.3.98.1 crystals of the TcDHOD–orotate complex are grown at 4°C by the sitting-drop vapour-diffusion technique using polyethylene glycol 3350 as a precipitant. The crystals diffract to better than 1.8 A ° resolution using synchrotron radiation (lambda = 0.900 A). X-ray diffraction data are collected at -173°C and processed to 1.9 A ° resolution with 98.2% completeness. The TcDHOD crystals belong to the orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 67.87, b = 71.89, c = 123.27 A 671086 1.3.98.1 DHOD–orotate complex by the sitting-drop vapour-diffusion technique using polyethylene glycol 3350 as a precipitant, to better than 1.8 A resolution, crystals belong to the orthorhombic space group P212121, with unit-cell parameters a = 67.87, b = 71.89, c = 123.27 A 671086 1.3.98.1 dihydroorotate dehydrogenase A, complexed with orotate 390915 1.3.98.1 enzyme in complex with orotate, crystal structure analysis, overview 711915 1.3.98.1 hanging drop vapor diffusion technique, 30% polyethylene glycol, 0.2 M sodium acetate, 0.1 M Tris-HCl, pH 8.5, monoclinic crystals, space group P21 390916 1.3.98.1 hanging drop vapour diffusion method, with 30% PEG 6000, 1 mM dithiothreitol, 0.2 M sodium acetate, and 0.1 M Tris-HCl at pH 8.5 685158 1.3.98.1 in complex with product orotate 657355 1.3.98.1 in ligand-free form and in complexes with inhibitor oxonate, physiological substrates and products of the first and second half-reactions. Ligands bind to the same active site of enzyme, consistent with one-site ping-pong Bi-Bi mechanism. The binding of ligands does not cause any significant structural changes, and both reduced and oxidized FMN cofactors are in planar conformation. Resiude C130 is well located for abstracting a proton from dihydroorotate C5 and transferring it to outside water molecules. The bound fumarate is in a twisted conformation, which induces partial charge separation. The thermodynamically favorable reduction of fumarate with reduced FMN seems to proceed in the way that its C2 accepts a proton from C130 and C3 a hydride or a hydride equivalent from reduced FMN N5 696221 1.3.98.1 to 2.4 A resolution, space group C2221. Class 1A family enzyme, the monomer folds as a alpha/beta barrel consisting of a core of central eight parallel beta-strands surrounded by a ring of eight alpha-helices. The asymmetric unit of the crystal structure contains four monomers that are arranged as two distinct homodimers that are nearly perpendicular to each other, i.e. the tetramer has the shape of the letter L 723848 1.3.98.1 wild-type enzyme and mutants N67A, K213E, P56A, R57A, K136E 656148
