Opposite Regulatory Effects of Iron Ions on the In Vitro Catalytic Activities of NarE, the Toxin-like ADP-ribosyltransferase from Neisseria meningitidis [PDF]
, 2015 NarE, the mono ADP-ribosyltransferase identified in Neisseria meningitidis, catalyzes three enzymatic reactions. NarE transfers a single ADP-ribose unit to guanidine compounds, hydrolyses NAD in nicotinamide and free ADP-ribose, and ADP-ribosylates ...
