“The role of the amino-terminal and coiled-coil regions of the three chains in the formation of the alphagamma and betagamma heterodimers and alphabetagamma half-molecules.”

“Pseudomonas stutzeri soluble nitrate reductase alphabeta-subunit is a soluble enzyme with a similar electronic structure⟳ at the active light⟳ site as the inner membrane-bound alphabetagamma holoenzyme.”

“Plant⟳ diterpene cyclases have⟳ a similar catalytic motif and betagamma-domain structure⟳ together with a third, alpha-domain, forming an alphabetagamma structure⟳, and in H(+)-initiated cyclases, there is an EDxxD-like Mg(2+)/diphosphate binding motif located in the gamma-domain,” wrote R. Cao and colleagues, University of Illinois, Center for Biophysics and Computational Biology. The researchers concluded: “The results support⟳ a new view⟳ of terpene cyclase structure⟳ and function and suggest⟳ evolution from ancient (betagamma) bacterial triterpene cyclases to (betagamma) bacterial and thence to (alphabetagamma) plant⟳ diterpene cyclases.””
