Abstract excerpt
Aspartate kinase (AK) catalyzes the first step of the biosynthesis of the aspartic acid family amino acids, and is regulated via feedback inhibition by end-products including Thr and Lys. To elucidate the mechanism of this inhibition, we determined the crystal structure of the regulatory subunit of AK from Corynebacterium glutamicum at 1.58 A resolution in the Thr-binding form, the first crystal structure of the...
