CRYSTALLIZATION (Commentary)
ORGANISM
UNIPROT
LITERATURE
cocrystal structures with bisubstrate analogs, consisting of a substrate peptide covalently linked to CoA through Lys40, to 1.35 A resolution. Substrate residue Lys40 is engaged in a suboptimal active site
crystal structure of the catalytic core of human MEC-17 in complex with its cofactor acetyl-CoA at 1.7 A resolution. The MEC-17 core adopts a canonical Gcn5-related N-acetyltransferase (GNAT) fold that is decorated with extensive surface loops. A large, evolutionarily conserved hydrophobic surface patch is critical for enzymatic activity
no significant changes are observed in the architecture of microtubules or the conformation of tu­bulin upon acetylation, based on protofilament distributions or microtubule helical lattice parameters. No clear differences in tubulin structure are detected between cryo-EM reconstructions of maxi­mally deacetylated or acetylated microtubules. The effect of acetyla­tion must be highly localized and affect interaction with proteins that bind directly to the lumen of the microtubule. alpha-TAT1 is able to interact with the outside of the microtubule, at least partly through the tubulin C-termini
