1.14.14.3 | More |
luciferase is composed of two homologous subunits designated alpha and beta, both of which assume the TIM barrel fold. Although the beta-subunit is required for activity, the catalytic site resides exclusively on the alpha-subunit. The most substantial compositional difference between subunits corresponds to a highly conserved stretch of residues between positions 260 and 290 unique to the alpha chains of luminous bacteria. In the luciferase/FMN complex, the asymmetric unit contains two beta/alpha-heterodimers |
