Intramolecular transmission of the ATP regulatory signal in Escherichia coli aspartate transcarbamylase: specific involvement of a clustered set of amino acid interactions at an interface between regulatory and catalytic subunits.

Abstract excerpt

Aspartate transcarbamylase from Escherichia coli is stimulated by ATP and feedback-inhibited by CTP and UTP. Previous work allowed the identification of the hydrophobic interface between the two domains of the regulatory chain as a structural element specifically involved in the transmission of the ATP regulatory signal toward the catalytic sites. The present work describes the identification of a cluster of...
