STRUCTURAL MODELLING OF THE LUMENAL DOMAIN OF HUMAN GPAA1, THE METALLO-PEPTIDE SYNTHETASE SUBUNIT OF THE TRANSAMIDASE COMPLEX, REVEALS ZINC-BINDING MODE AND TWO FLAPS SURROUNDING THE ACTIVE SITE

Structural modelling of the lumenal domain of human GPAA1, the metallo-peptide synthetase subunit of the transamidase complex, reveals zinc-binding mode and two flaps surrounding the active site

Abstract Background The transamidase complex is a molecular machine in the endoplasmic reticulum of eukaryotes that attaches a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) lipid anchor to substrate proteins after cleaving a C-terminal propeptide with a defined sequence signal.Its five subunits are very hydrophobic; Fridge Light Switch thus, solubility, heter
