Comparison of the active sites and reactions of CmQNS, MdBIS3 and HaBPS. (a) Reactions catalyzed by CmQNS, HaBPS and MdBIS3. Proteins in parentheses indicate that displayed reactions are promiscuous activities. (b) Surface representations of MdBIS3 and CmQNS. Residues lining the internal cavities of CmQNS (grey), MdBIS3 (green) and HaBPS (brown) are displayed as sticks. Atoms are color-coded according to element: oxygen, red; nitrogen, blue; sulfur, yellow. Conserved residues have only a single label. Residues forming part of the catalytic triad are denoted with asterisks. The magenta arrow identifies the novel pocket in the MdBIS3 and HaBPS cavities. Coordinates for CmQNS were obtained from PDB entry 3wd8. |
