Second distinct conformation of the phosphohistidine loop in succinyl-CoA synthetase
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Succinyl-CoA synthetase (SCS) catalyzes a reversible reaction that is the only substrate-level phosphorylation in the citric acid cycle. One of the essential steps for the transfer of the phosphoryl group involves the movement of the phosphohistidine loop between active site I, where CoA, succinate and phosphate bind, and active site II, where the nucleotide binds. Here, the first crystal structure of SCS revealing the conformation of the phosphohistidine loop in site II of the porcine GTP-specific enzyme is presented. The phosphoryl transfer bridges a distance of 29 Å between the binding sites for phosphohistidine in site I and site II, so these crystal structures support the proposed mechanism of catalysis by SCS. In addition, a second succinate-binding site was discovered at the interface between the α- and β-subunits of SCS, and another magnesium ion was found that interacts with the side chains of Glu141β and Glu204β via water-mediated interactions. These glutamate residues interact with the active-site histidine residue when it is bound in site II.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
