RECOMBINANT SERINE HYDROXYMETHYLTRANSFERASE (MOUSE)
Overview
Serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SHMT) is a pyridoxal phosphate-dependent, enzyme that catalyzes the reversible conversion of serine and, tetrahydrofolate to glycine and methylenetetrahydrofolate. This reaction, generates single carbon units for purine, thymidine, and methionine, biosynthesis. The enzyme is a homotetramer comprising two obligate dimers, and four pyridoxal phosphate-bound active sites. The mammalian enzyme is, present in cells in both catalytically active and inactive forms. The, inactive form is a ternary complex that results from the binding of, glycine and 5-formyltetrahydrofolate polyglutamate, a slow tight-binding, inhibitor. The crystal structure of a close analogue of the inactive form, of murine cytoplasmic SHMT (cSHMT), lacking only the polyglutamate tail of, the ... [(full description)]
