The X-ray crystal structure of the 6-pyruvoyltetrahydropterin synthase (PTPS) homolog from Streptomyces coelicolor, SCO 6650, was solved at 1.5 A resolution. SCO 6650 forms a hexameric T-fold that closely resembles other PTPS proteins. The biological activity of SCO 6650 is unknown, but it lacks both a required active-site zinc metal ion and the essential catalytic triad and does not catalyze the PTPS reaction. However, SCO 6650 maintains active-site residues consistent with binding a pterin-like substrate.
天蓝色链霉菌(Streptomyces coelicolor)的6-丙酮酰四氢蝶呤合酶(PTPS)同源物SCO 6650的X射线晶体结构在1.5埃分辨率下得到解析。SCO 6650形成一种六聚体T型折叠结构,与其他PTPS蛋白非常相似。SCO 6650的生物学活性未知,但它既缺乏必需的活性位点锌金属离子和关键催化三联体,也不催化PTPS反应。然而,SCO 6650的活性位点残基与结合类蝶呤底物一致。
