This opened conformation could not have been characterized from the solved structures of latent or idle TGases. be cross linked, the glutaminyl- and amine-substrate tunnels need to open reasonably distantly from one another, practically, on opposite facades of the transglutaminase (fig. ). The small, but considerable likelihood of the appearance of water molecules in the hydrophobic niches of an enzyme implicates that the acylenzyme intermediate is unstable. However, to the best of our knowledge, the kinetic parameters for glutamine deamidation have never been compared to the reaction Nemes/Cso´´sz/Petrovski/Fésüs 22 velocity of transamidation, or if were, these data were left unpublished.

Most of these functions are present in TGase 2. This may reflect a real multifunctionality restricted to this isoenzyme only, but most probably this is simply due to the fact that TGase 2 is ubiquitous, heavily involved in cellular processes like apoptosis and differentiation, and in human diseases like celiac disease. Therefore it is not surprising that TGase 2 is the most studied and it is possible that other TGase isoenzymes, less studied, are multifunctional enzymes too. The ability to hold a second job has been called ‘moonlighting’ and this ‘social-astrophysical’ concept has been applied to protein also.
