CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF RETINOL DEHYDRATASE IN A COMPLEX WITH RETINOL AND PAP
Overview
We report here the crystal structure of retinol dehydratase, an enzyme, that catalyzes the synthesis of anhydroretinol. The enzyme is a member of, the sulfotransferase superfamily and its crystal structure reveals the, insertion of a helical lid into a canonical sulfotransferase fold., Site-directed mutations demonstrate that this inserted lid is necessary, for anhydroretinol production but not for sulfonation; thus, insertion of, a helical lid can convert a sulfotransferase into a dehydratase.
About this Structure
1FML is a Single protein structure of sequence from Spodoptera frugiperda with CA, A3P and RTL as ligands. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA.
