Figure 7.
Fig. 7. Two distinct conformations of Tyr364 in AtDAP-AT. (a) An overlay of the crystal structures of the native AtDAP-AT and the PLP-Glu aldimine analogue complex. The native structure is coloured yellow. The PLP-Glu aldimine analogue structure is coloured grey. Two different conformations of Tyr364 in the active site are shown. (b) An overlay of aromatic residues equivalent to Tyr364 of AtDAP-AT from the other type I fold aminotransferases. AtDAP-AT, AspAT (Ia), AspAT (Ib) and HisP-AT are represented in grey, yellow, blue and emerald green, respectively.
