Intersubunit ionic interactions stabilize the nucleoside diphosphate kinase of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Intersubunit ionic interactions stabilize the nucleoside diphosphate kinase of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Most nucleoside diphosphate kinases (NDPKs) are hexamers. The C-terminal tail interacting with the neighboring subunits is crucial for hexamer stability. In the NDPK from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mt) this tail is missing. The quaternary structure of Mt-NDPK is essential for full enzymatic activit...
