a Quaternary assembly of Tha1. The four PLP cofactors, one for each unit, are shown in violet ball-and-stick. The main interface, between units A and B (orange/magenta) and the secondary interface between units C and D (teal/pale cyan) are indicated. b Active site of Tha1. The main polar interactions of the PLP cofactor (violet) at the interface between subunits A (carbon atoms in teal) and B (carbon atoms in pale cyan) are indicated. Distances in Å. c Comparison of AlphaFold model (dark colors) and the Tha1 crystal structure (orthorhombic F222, light colors) docked with HTML-PLP substrate. Different chains are colored in different colors. Non-carbon atoms are colored according to CPK convention. HTML-PLP and flexible catalytic lysine are shown in ball-and-sticks. The binding site residues (≤4.5 Å from HTML-PLP) are shown in sticks. Polar interactions are indicated with orange dashes, cation-π interactions are indicated with olive dashes; residues showing a different position in the model and crystallographic structure are labeled. Clustering of the HTML-PLP conformations at the Tha1 active site obtained with HTML-OSMES applied to AlphaFold model (d, e) or the crystal structure (f, g). Bar plots show the distribution of χ1 (blue), χ2 (emerald) and χ3 (kiwi) angles in each cluster, with the catalytic cluster highlighted in light blue. Circular plots show the cumulative distribution of the three χ angles for all clusters. |sin(χ)| ≥0.95 values are defined by gray areas. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
