Figure 1. (A) Scheme for the reaction carried out by FTCD_CD (EC 4.3.1.4), which catalyzes the cyclization of the formimino group of N^5-formimidoyltetrahydrofolate, yielding N^5,N^10-methenyltetrahydrofolate and ammonia. (B) Crystal structure of TM1560. Ribbon diagram of T. maritima FTCD_CD color-coded from N-terminus (blue) to C-terminus (red) showing the domain organization. elices H1-H6 are indicated. (C) The TM1560 dimer view is shown along (above) and normal (below) to its two-fold axis. (D) Diagram showing the secondary structure elements in TM1560 superimposed on its primary sequence. The -helices, 3[10]-helices, -bulges, and -turns are indicated. Disordered regions are depicted by a dashed line with the corresponding sequence in brackets.
