(a) 6PGDH-catalysed reaction and the two main amino-acid residues involved (residue numbers in T. brucei 6PGDH). (b) Scheme of the isomerization step between the open and closed conformation of 6PGDH. (c) Scheme of the asymmetric conformation of the protein, as shown by affinity-labelling and kinetic studies, in which the two different subunit conformations are represented as different shapes. |
