Crystallization (Commentary)

Crystallization (Comment) Organism
structure provides a model for the catalytic domain shared by all MTHFRs. This domain is a beta8alpha8 barrel that binds FAD in a special fashion. Ala 177, corresponding to Ala 222 in human MTHFR, is near the bottom of the barrel and distant from the FAD. The mutation A177V does not affect Km or kcat but instead increases the propensity for bacterial MTHFR to lose its essential flavin cofactor Escherichia coli

Protein Variants Comment Organism
A177V mutation mimicks human polymorphism A222V. Mutation does not affect kcat or the Km values but alters FAD binding Escherichia coli
