Comparison of MmGADL1 with other PLP-dependent decarboxylases. (a) Sequence alignment of MmGADL1 with homologous structures. The conserved PLP-modified lysine is indicated (green triangle). Secondary structure elements and sequence numbering correspond to MmGADL1. (b) Stereo image of a structural superposition of PLP-dependent decarboxylase homologues, viewed towards the active-site cavity. The covalently linked MmGADL1 PLP moiety is depicted as red spheres. The black arrow shows the position of the active-site-covering loop, which is disordered in the MmGADL1 crystal structure. (c) Conservation of PLP conformation in the superposed PLP-dependent decarboxylase structures.
