“…The ability of CBSX1 ( Figure 3C) and CBSX2 (see Supplemental Figure 5C online) to increase the activity of all four Trxs was augmented by AMP binding, but ADP and ATP did not show this enhancing effect (see Supplemental Figure 5B online). Our structural analysis revealed that several basic residues from each subunit, namely, Lys-201, Arg-203, Arg-204, and Arg-220, form a ligand binding pocket ( Figure 2C, right), and previous studies have demonstrated the presence of adenosine-containing ligands in similar pockets in the structures of several CBS domain proteins (Xiao et al, 2007;King et al, 2008;Tuominen et al, 2010). As noted, CBSX2 is an antiparallel dimer and thus most likely accommodates two adenosine-containing ligands simultaneously in one pocket (Figure 2C).…”
