most similar sequence - catalytic triad, structure with highlighted
The most similar sequence with functional information available was that of an arylformamidase isolated from the liver of Mus musculus (see figure ...). A functional analysis of this protein has been performed identifying a catalytic triad using site-directed mutagenesis (Pabarcus et al. 2007). Conservation of this catalytic triad with 2pbl was assessed. Both residues S162 and H279 were found to be conserved in relatively conserved regions of the alignment. However, D247 had undergone a semi-conservative substitution. These residues correlated to S136, E214 and H241 of 2pbl which were subsequently located on the tertiary structure and determined to be sufficiently proximal to one another for catalysis (see figure...).
