Abstract
Barrel-shaped: The enzyme MoeO5 catalyzes the transfer of the C 15 moiety of farnesyl pyrophosphate to the 2-hydroxy group of 3-phosphoglycerate to give 2-(Z,E)-farnesyl-3-phosphoglycerate (FPG; ligand in the center of the shown structure). X-ray crystallographic structures showed that MoeO5 forms a triose-phosphate-isomerase barrel structure and binds FPG in a curved pocket, mainly as a result of its long λ3 loop (magenta in picture).
