Structural Basis for EarP-Mediated Arginine Glycosylation of Translation Elongation Factor EF-P

ABSTRACT Glycosylation is a universal strategy to posttranslationally modify proteins. The recently discovered arginine rhamnosylation activates the polyproline-specific bacterial translation elongation factor EF-P. EF-P is rhamnosylated on arginine 32 by the glycosyltransferase EarP. However, the e...
