Crystallization (Commentary)

Crystallization (Comment) Organism
crystallization of precursor protein and active form, at 2.4 and 2.5 A resolution, respectively. In the precursor, the inactivation region is found on the protein surface and consists of a flexible loop followed by a long alpha-helix. Presence of this region diminishes both the interaction with ribosome and cytotoxicity, but not cellular uptake. The active site of the enzyme is too small to accomodate two glutamate residues Zea mays

Posttranslational Modification

Posttranslational Modification Comment Organism
proteolytic modification enzyme is synthesized as an inactive precursor with a 25-amino acid internal inactivation region, which is removed in the active form Zea mays
