Abstract excerpt
The ReAV enzyme from Rhizobium etli, a representative of Class 3 L-asparaginases, is sequentially and structurally different from other known L-asparaginases. This distinctiveness makes ReAV a candidate for novel antileukemic therapies. ReAV is a homodimeric protein, with each subunit containing a highly specific zinc-binding site created by two cysteines, a lysine, and a water molecule. Two Ser-Lys tandems...
