“…At present, the PDB provides 28 sAC crystal structures (Kleinboelting et al, 2014a(Kleinboelting et al, ,b, 2016Saalau-Bethell et al, 2014;RamosEspiritu et al, 2016), including complexes with ATP, a,b-methylene adenosine-59-triphosphate, cAMP, pyrophosphate, bicarbonate, biselenite, bisulfite, bithionol, and various inhibitors. Comparing structures of 5C1: 2C2, of sAC-C1-C2 and of an inactive human sGCa cat : sGCb cat heterodimer (Allerston et al, 2013;Seeger et al, 2014) indicates high structural homology not only of the individual catalytic domains, but also of the whole complexes, and points to a common, well conserved mechanism of cNMP generation facilitated by two metal ions.…”
