Crystal structure of binary and ternary complexes of serine hydroxymethyltransferase from Bacillus stearothermophilus: insights into the catalytic mechanism.

TLDR
In this paper, the first structure of the serine-bound form of SHMT has been presented, which allows identification of residues involved in serine binding and catalysis and provides evidence for a direct displacement mechanism for the hydroxymethyl transfer rather than a retroaldol cleavage.

Structure-function relationship in serine hydroxymethyltransferase.

TL;DR: The mutational analysis of scSHMT along with the structure of recombinant Bacillus stearothermophilus SHMT and its substrate(s) complexes was used to provide evidence for a direct transfer mechanism rather than retro-aldol cleavage for the reaction catalyzed by SHMT.
