Function of your protein

The function of this protein is an L-amino acid that involved in Staphylococcal sulfur amino acid metabolism. The role of this amino protein is that predominately catalyze the ATP Ligation of various carboxylate and amine substrates.

Biological relevance and broader implications

This paper focused on the biological aspect of this protein because the protein is found in bacteria. The essence of this protein to be understood as biological is due to the fact that it's a promising target for the development of antibiotics. This protein is associated with gram-positive bacteria that are responsible for pathogens. This protein is very important in the science world as a whole because it assists scientists in combating antibiotic resistance.

Important amino acids

The ligand for this molecule is ADP: ADENOSINE-5'-DIPHOSPHATE .

Structural highlights

These secondary structural features are important for stabilizing the overall structure of the LdmS protein and also play a role in protein interactions or ligand binding. For example, alpha helices form amphipathic surfaces that interact with lipid membranes or other proteins, while beta strands form beta sheets that provide structural rigidity and can also participate in hydrogen bonding with ligands.

The tertiary structure of the protein refers to the three-dimensional arrangement of its secondary structural elements as you can see here in the image and is determined by the interactions between amino acid side chains and the protein backbone. A polar cavity is formed by the sidechains of Gln244, Tyr252, Asn255, Asn307, and Ser309, and the backbone of Gly308 and Ser309. A hydrophobic cavity is also formed upon closure of the P-loop and N-loop, comprised of Pro26, Leu34, Pro36, Leu44, Tyr111, Ala181, and Tyr184, with the guanidinium sidechain of Arg47 positioned below the cavity opening.

The quaternary structure refers to the arrangement of multiple protein subunits into a larger complex and can play a role in modulating protein function. In this case, the presence of two subunits may enable cooperative binding of ligands or other proteins to the enzyme's active site.

Here is a space-filling view of the protein, which provides information about the three-dimensional arrangement of amino acid side chains and the overall shape of the protein. This can be important for understanding protein function, as certain domains or regions of the protein may be more exposed and accessible to ligands or other proteins. In this example, the cleft between the two subunits represents the active site of the enzyme, which may be important for substrate binding and catalysis. Additionally, the presence of large loops or domains on the surface of the protein may be indicative of regions that play a role in protein-protein interactions or signaling. To be specific two large loop regions in this paper are, the P-loop (Res. 175–186) and an N-terminal loop region, herein referred to as the N-loop (Res. 28–38).
