Phosphate Binding in Wild Type TIGAR

Two phosphate ions are found in the active site of full length TIGAR. The first phosphate ion is coordinated by His11, His183, Arg10, Arg61 and Glu89. Second phosphate ion is coordinated by Arg10 and Asn217. Fru-1,6-bisphosphate and Fru-2,6-bisphosphate can be placed in the position of the two phosphate molecules.

Described amino acids are shown in sticks view in yellow and blue color. Bound phosphate ions are shown in space-filling view. Backbone is shown in trace view.

Phosphate Binding in H11A Mutant TIGAR

Mutation of Histidine 11 to Alanine did not abrogate phosphate binding in active site. The binding of phosphate ion was shown to shift towards the position of absent His11 side chain. Phosphate ion was shown to have additional interaction with water molecule (WE393) that occupies the position of absent Histidine side chain.

Described amino acids are shown in sticks view in yellow and blue color. Bound phosphate ions and water molecule are shown in space-filling view.Backbone is shown in trace view.
