TIGAR

The core phosphatase fold is conserved between two proteins. As observed in PhoE and TIGAR comparison,β6 and β7 strands are longer in TIGAR compared to Fru-2,6-bisphosphatase(FBPase-2). In the active region,the TIGAR α6 is replaced by two separate helices; and loop region including α9 is not observed in FBPase-2. The amino acids coordinating P1 and P2 in active region is shown below.

Phosphate ions bound are shown in space-filling view. Described helices and beta sheets are labeled. In superimposition picture above, TIGAR is shown in yellow and FBPase-2 is shown in green.

Fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase domain of Bifunctional 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/FBPase-2

The two separate helices occupying the position of TIGAR α6 are shown in green. In contrast to TIGAR, there is only one binding site for phosphate ion and binding site for second phosphate is hindered by Val441 and Thr443 side chains. Bound phosphate molecule in FBPase-2 is slightly shifted towards His256 due to its shifted position compared to His11 of TIGAR. FBPase-2 has additional 25 residues in its C-terminus forming extended loop structures. These loops enclose active site giving restricted access to it and specificity for Fru-2,6-P2. Compared to this TIGAR has more open, accessible active site. Overall, the active site is not fully conserved between two enzymes.









Phosphate ion bound is shown in space-filling view and Fru-6-phosphate, Val441 and Thr443 are shown in sticks view. Described helices are shown in green.
