Structural characterization of a GNAT family acetyltransferase from Elizabethkingia anophelis bound to acetyl-CoA reveals a new dimeric interface

Abstract General control non-repressible 5 (GCN5)-related N-acetyltransferases (GNATs) catalyse the acetylation of a diverse range of substrates, thereby orchestrating a variety of biological processes within prokaryotes and eukaryotes. GNAT enzymes can catalyze the transfer of an acetyl group from...
