The three-dimensional structure of thymidine phosphorylase from Escherichia coli has been determined at 2.8 A resolution using multiple-isomorphous-replacement techniques. The amino acid sequence deduced from the deoA DNA sequence is also reported. Thymidine phosphorylase exists in the crystal as an S-shaped dimer in which the subunits are related by a crystallographic 2-fold axis. Each subunit is composed of a small alpha-helical domain of six helices and a large alpha/beta domain. The alpha/beta domain includes a six-stranded mixed beta-sheet and a four-stranded antiparallel beta-sheet. The active site has been identified by difference Fourier analyses of the binding of thymine and thymidine and lies in a cavity between the small and large domains. The central beta-sheet is splayed open to accommodate a putative phosphate-binding site which is probably occupied by a sulfate ion in the crystal.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008024 Ligands A molecule that binds to another molecule, used especially to refer to a small molecule that binds specifically to a larger molecule, e.g., an antigen binding to an antibody, a hormone or neurotransmitter binding to a receptor, or a substrate or allosteric effector binding to an enzyme. Ligands are also molecules that donate or accept a pair of electrons to form a coordinate covalent bond with the central metal atom of a coordination complex. (From Dorland, 27th ed) Ligand

Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
