6.3.1.19 | the enzyme from Corynebacterium glutamicum is C-terminally fused with Pup or N-terminally truncated fragments of prokaryotic ubiquitin-like protein (Pup) from the same organism. Crystals are obtained only with the shortest fragment tested, PupE38-64. The crystal structure of Pup in complex with the enzyme, reveals that a long groove wrapping around the enzyme serves as a docking site for Pup. Upon binding, the C-terminal region of the intrinsically disordered Pup becomes ordered to form two helices connected by a linker, positioning the C-terminal glutamate in the active site of PafA |
