Popis: Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 has sparked interest as an immunotherapeutictarget in cancer research. Its structure includes a loop, named the JK-loop, thatcontrols the orientation of the substrate or inhibitor within the active site.However, little has been reported about the crystal structure of this loop. In thepresent work, the conformation of the JK-loop is determined for the first time inthe presence of the heme cofactor in the active site through X-ray diffractionexperiments (2.44 A ˚ resolution). Molecular-dynamics trajectories were alsoobtained to provide dynamic information about the loop according to thepresence of cofactor. This new structural and dynamic information highlights theimportance of the JK-loop in confining the labile heme cofactor to the activesite.
