Overall structure of PsEst3. Cartoon representation (a) and secondary-structure topology (b) of PsEst3. α-Helices and β-sheets are represented as coils and arrows, respectively. A sulfate ion and the catalytic triad (Ser128, Asp199 and His227) are represented as yellow sticks. The tetrapeptide for an oxyanion hole (red) and a PsEst3-specific region (blue and magenta) are highlighted. (c) Residues participating in the inter-motif interaction between α3 and α6 of PsEst3 are shown as stick models. |
