Abstract
Crystals of the catalytic subunit of Methanococcus jannaschii aspartate transcarbamoylase in an orthorhombic crystal form contain four crystallographically independent trimers which associate in pairs to form stable staggered complexes that are similar to each other and to a previously determined monoclinic C2 form. Each subunit has a sulfate in the central channel. The catalytic subunits in these complexes show flexibility, with the elbow angles of the monomers differing by up to 7.4 degrees between crystal forms. Moreover, there is also flexibility in the relative orientation of the trimers around their threefold axis in the complexes, with a difference of 4 degrees between crystal forms.

Full text Abstract
Figure 4.
Figure 4. (a) Complexation of a sulfate ion on the three-fold axis by three Lys residues (Lys63) from the three chains of the trimer. View is along the threefold axis. Three of the sulfate oxygens are related by the threefold axis. The fourth, not shown, lies on the threefold axis. (b) View of the ion-pair network in the central channel centered on the sulfate ion. The electron density corresponds to the final sigmaa weighted 2Fo - Fc map, is drawn at a contour level of 1.0 and is carved around the sulfate, Lys63, Glu59, and Arg55.
