Abstract excerpt
The state of aggregation of adenylosuccinate synthetase from Escherichia coli is a point of controversy, with crystal structures indicating a dimer and some solution studies indicating a monomer. Crystal structures implicate Arg143 and Asp231 in stabilizing the dimer, with Arg143 interacting directly with bound IMP of the 2-fold related subunit. Residue Arg143 was changed to Lys and Leu, and residue Asp231 was...
