in complex with phosphate, to 2.4 A resolution. Enzyme is composed of four distinct domains, an N-terminal domain with residues 1-279, a helical linker with residues 280-314, an (alpha/beta)6-barrel domain with residues 321-734, and a C-terminal beta-sandwich domain with residues 315-320 and 735-811. The side chains of His653, Gln699 and Thr718 and the backbone N-atom of Gly719 coordinate the phosphate bound in the interior of the (alpha/beta)6-barrel domain. Two short helical extensions, residues 158-169, from the N-terminal domain of the adjacent subunit extend into the cleft which runs along the face of the (alpha/beta)6-barrel domain, forming an active-site pocket. An additional loop, residues 488-507, lays on top of the active-site pocket, forming a restrictive active-site pocket that is large enough to bind a disaccharide but not large enough to bind an oligosaccharide |
