LITERATURE
drug target
-
the enzyme from Brucella abortus constitutes a suitable target for alternative antibacterial therapy, notably against strains resistant to conventional antibiotic treatments. A high-throughput screening for inhibitors of riboflavin synthase identifies antimicrobial compounds to treat brucellosis
metabolism
-
lumazine synthase forms specific inclusion complexes with riboflavin synthase when both proteins are co-expressed in a heterologous host. Encapsulation of specific enzymes in self-assembling protein cages is a hallmark of bacterial compartments that function as counterparts to eukaryotic organelles
