cl00245

MGS-like domain. This domain composes the whole protein of methylglyoxal synthetase, which catalyzes the enolization of dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) to produce methylglyoxal. The family also includes the C-terminal domain in carbamoyl phosphate synthetase (CPS) where it catalyzes the last phosphorylation of a coaboxyphosphate intermediate to form the product carbamoyl phosphate and may also play a regulatory role. This family also includes inosine monophosphate cyclohydrolase. The known structures in this family show a common phosphate binding site.
