Mechanism of aminoacyl-tRNA acetylation by an aminoacyl-tRNA acetyltransferase AtaT from enterohemorrhagic E. coli
AtaT is a type-II toxin from enterohemorrhagic E. coli, reported to acetylate the aminoacyl-moiety of initiator Met-tRNAfMet, thus inhibiting translation initiation. Biochemical analysis suggests that AtaT has a broader specificity for aminoacyl-tRNAs and inhibits global translation. Structure of At...

| Sumario: | AtaT is a type-II toxin from enterohemorrhagic E. coli, reported to acetylate the aminoacyl-moiety of initiator Met-tRNAfMet, thus inhibiting translation initiation. Biochemical analysis suggests that AtaT has a broader specificity for aminoacyl-tRNAs and inhibits global translation. Structure of AtaT in complex with acetylated Met-tRNAfMet offers insight into the substrate selection by the enzyme. |
