STRUCTURE OF THE C DOMAIN OF GLYCOGEN SYNTHASE FROM PYROCOCCUS ABYSSI
Overview
Glycogen and starch synthases are retaining glycosyltransferases that, catalyze the transfer of glucosyl residues to the non-reducing end of a, growing alpha-1,4-glucan chain, a central process of the carbon/energy, metabolism present in almost all living organisms. The crystal structure, of the glycogen synthase from Pyrococcus abyssi, the smallest known member, of this family of enzymes, revealed that its subunits possess a fold, common to other glycosyltransferases, a pair of beta/alpha/beta Rossmann, fold-type domains with the catalytic site at their interface., Nevertheless, the archaeal enzyme presents an unprecedented homotrimeric, molecular arrangement both in solution, as determined by analytical, ultracentrifugation, and in the crystal. The C-domains are not involved in, ... [(full description)]
