2.7.1.164 | sitting drop vapor diffusion method at 20°C, the structures of MjPSTK complexed with ADP and AMPPNP revealed that this enzyme belongs to the P-loop kinase class, and that the kinase domain is closely related to gluconate kinase and adenylate kinase. ATP is bound by the P-loop domain (residues 11-18). Formed by antiparallel dimerization of two O-phosphoseryl-tRNASec kinase monomers, the enzyme structure shows a deep groove with positive electrostatic potential. Located in this groove is the active site of the enzyme, which biochemical and genetic data suggest is composed of Asp-41, Arg-44, Glu-55, Tyr-82, Tyr-83, Met-86, and Met-132 |
