Hi,

in structure 1XTF (Botulinum toxin A light chain) the c-terminal
His-tag folds back into the active site of the enzyme. The
carboxy-terminal His is coordinated by Zn atom of the catalytic
center.

cheers,
christian

In structures of His-tagged subtilisin cocrystallized with chymotrypsin
inhibitor 2, we saw two completely different well-ordered conformations
for the His-tag in two different crystal forms (1LW6 and 1TM1).  In both
cases, there was no "peptide binding site"; the His-tag was held in
place primarily through crystal contacts.  One would presume that it is
disordered in solution.

Cheers,
Evette

That is interesting. Are these all crystal structures? Does anyone know
of an example where a His-tag is intrinsically ordered in a crystal
structure, and not just because, for example, it is being held in place
by a peptide binding site?
Cheers
