COMMENTARY hide
LITERATURE
evolution
-
the homotrimeric enzyme belongs to the left-handed beta-helix family of acyltransferases and is characterized by an unusual funnel-shaped outline
physiological function
-
K1 capsule O-acetylation undergoes highfrequency phase-variation involving also the polysialic acid specific O-acetyltransferase
additional information
-
the enzymatic activity linearly increases with the length of the N-terminal poly-psi-domain which is composed of a variable number of tandem copies of an RLKTQDS heptad, the poly-psi-domain is not resolved in the crystal structure
