Figure 2
Sequence alignment of parts of ATP-citrate lyase (ACLY) and succinyl-CoA synthetase (SCS) showing the conservation of the glutamate residue Glu599 of ACLY. Crystal structures have been determined of the enzymes shown. While human ACLY is a homotetramer, ACLY from Chlorobium limicola is a heterooctamer and the equivalent residue is in the A subunit. Human GTPSCS is a heterodimer, while E. coli and Thermus aquaticus SCS are heterotetramers; however, the similar residue is in the α-subunit in all cases. |
