Effector regulation in a monomeric enzyme

Martha L. Ludwig & Rowena G. Matthews

Martha L. Ludwig and Rowena G. Matthews are in the Department of Biological Chemistry and Biophysics Research Division, University of Michigan, 930 North University Avenue, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109-1055, USA.

The monomeric B12-dependent ribonucleotide reductase from L. leichmannii has the central 10-stranded alpha/beta-barrel found in all ribonucleotide reductases but incorporates two distinctive structural features, a novel cobalamin-binding fold and an insert forming part of a specificity control site that mimics the allosteric site found in the oligomeric di-iron dependent reductases.
