Fig. 4. Three reaction snapshots reveal the importance of the T282 catalyst platform and water solvent channel.

Fig. 4

View of the HsNMT1 active site showing direct and solvent-mediated hydrogen bonding interactions between the protein and: a substrates in HsNMT1:MyrCoA:X, b TI in HsNMT1:TI-Y and c products in HsNMT1:MyrX;CoA. The HsNMT1 chain is displayed as a green ribbon. Selected amino acids (green), substrate peptides (yellow), and MyrCoA and CoA moieties (both in orange) are shown as sticks. Hydrogen bond set1, linking Gly2 to the T282 catalyst platform, is shown as cyan dashes. Wat1-mediated hydrogen bond set2, linking Q496 to Tyr180/Tyr192 from the Ab-loop, substrate aa3 and Asn246 is shown as grey dashes. Wat1-mediated hydrogen bond set3 linking Gln496 to Gly2 ammonium is shown as black dashes. Water molecules from the solvent channel are shown as red spheres. Hydrogen bonds involved in the “oxyanion hole” are displayed as magenta dashed lines. The H-bond between thiolate and amine from CoA is shown as violet dashes.
