Structural basis for arginine glycosylation of host substrates by bacterial effector proteins

The type III secretion system effectors NleB and SseK are glycosyltransferases (GT) that specifically glycosylate arginine residues. Here the authors provide insights into their mechanism by combining X-ray crystallography, NMR, enzyme kinetics measurements, molecular dynamics simulations and in viv...

Description
Summary:The type III secretion system effectors NleB and SseK are glycosyltransferases (GT) that specifically glycosylate arginine residues. Here the authors provide insights into their mechanism by combining X-ray crystallography, NMR, enzyme kinetics measurements, molecular dynamics simulations and in vivo experiments and show that SseK/NleB enzymes are retaining GTs.
