Prokaryotic Glutamine Synthetase Tertiary Structure: PFam domains
Prokaryotic Glutamine Synthetase is a dodecamer, comprised of 12 identical polypeptide chains, organized as a dimer of two disk like pentamers. Each protomer contains 2 Pfam domains, the Beta Grasp domain and the catalytic domain, preceded by meanders of a few resides in length which link the protomers together in the dodecamers core.
Beta Grasp domain
The beta grasp domain is the N-terminal domain, extending from residues 13-94. This domain is responsible for binding ATP, Glutamate, and Ammonia. ATP binds first, activating the site for binding glutamate. (need a more thorough description if possible.) <show protein alignment image> <show structures of the domain w and without ligands bound>
Catalytic domain
The catalytic domain is the C-terminal domain, extending from residues 101-382. (mechanism is not described, more research is necessary here)
<show alignment image> <show structures of the domain with and without ligands in viewer>
Active site
The dodecamer contains 12 active sites total, each formed from the Beta grasp domain of one protomer and the Catalytic domain of the neighboring protomer. <show relation between chains, domains, and active sites with viewer> -describe visually the important aspects of the active site, residues binding interactions etc..(havent generated the scenes yet) <show active site and ligands relationship, will need multiple scenes>
