Structural enzymology of Helicobacter pylori methylthioadenosine nucleosidase in the futalosine pathway

Crystal structures of the H. pylori methylthioadenosine nucleosidase (MTAN) HpyMqnB have been solved in native and complexed forms, shedding light on substrate binding and the reaction mechanism.

Three-dimensional structure of a Streptomyces sviceus GNAT acetyltransferase with similarity to the C-terminal domain of the human GH84 O-GlcNAcase

The crystal structure of a bacterial acetyltransferase with 27% sequence identity to the C-terminal domain of human O-GlcNAcase has been solved at 1.5 Å resolution. This S. sviceus protein is compared with known GCN5-related acetyltransferases, adding to the diversity observed in this superfamily.
