Crossroads between Bacterial and Mammalian Glycosyltransferases
Bacterial glycosyltransferases (GT) often synthesize the same glycan linkages as mammalian GT; yet, they usually have very little sequence identity. Nevertheless, enzymatic properties, folding, substrate specificities, and catalytic mechanisms of these enzyme proteins may have significant similarity. Thus, bacterial GT can be utilized for the enzymatic synthesis of both bacterial and mammalian ...
متن کاملBacterial β-Kdo glycosyltransferases represent a new glycosyltransferase family (GT99).
Kdo (3-deoxy-d-manno-oct-2-ulosonic acid) is an eight-carbon sugar mostly confined to Gram-negative bacteria. It is often involved in attaching surface polysaccharides to their lipid anchors. α-Kdo provides a bridge between lipid A and the core oligosaccharide in all bacterial LPSs, whereas an oligosaccharide of β-Kdo residues links "group 2" capsular polysaccharides to (lyso)phosphatidylglycer...
متن کاملEffector Glycosyltransferases in Legionella
Legionella causes severe pneumonia in humans. The pathogen produces an array of effectors, which interfere with host cell functions. Among them are the glucosyltransferases Lgt1, Lgt2 and Lgt3 from L. pneumophila. Lgt1 and Lgt2 are produced predominately in the post-exponential phase of bacterial growth, while synthesis of Lgt3 is induced mainly in the lag-phase before intracellular replication...
متن کاملProcessivity factors
What is processivity? A protein is said to be processive if it catalyzes numerous catalytic turnover events while remaining with its substrate. Most single-subunit DNA polymerases only stay on DNA for a few nucleotide additions but, with the help of processivity factors, they can stay there for thousands of nucleotide addition steps. Processivity is especially important for the replication of l...
متن کاملKinesin Processivity
Conventional kinesin is a highly processive motor that can take Ͼ 100 steps along a microtubule before dissociating. Various lines of evidence have led to a model of hand over hand processive motion, in which the trailing head detaches and rebinds to the next open tubulin dimer site on the same protofilament, leading to an 8-nm movement of supports the hand over hand mechanism. Processivity is ...
