Probing carbohydrate biocatalysis through the use of electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and isothermal titration calorimetry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry,(ESI-MS)-based assays have been newly developed to study three classes of enzymes (sugar nucleotidyltransferases, glycosyltransferases, and phosphorylases) from the three distinct families of life: archaea ...

Studies of Enzymes That Cause Resistance to Aminoglycosides Antibiotics

open access: yes, 2008
Aminoglycoside antibiotics are highly potent, wide-spectrum bactericidals (1, 2). Bacterial resistance to aminoglycosides, however, is a major problem in the clinical use of aminoglycosides.

A tale of non-canonical tails: gene regulation by post-transcriptional RNA tailing

open access: yes, 2020
© 2020, Springer Nature Limited. RNA tailing, or the addition of non-templated nucleotides to the 3′ end of RNA, is the most frequent and conserved type of RNA modification.

Strategies for the Chemoenzymatic Synthesis of Deoxysugar Nucleotides:  Substrate Binding versus Catalysis

open access: yes, 2016
Sugar nucleotidyltransferases, also known as sugar pyrophosphorylases, catalyze the formation of a phosphate linkage to produce sugars activated for use by Leloir pathway glycosyltransferases and are subjects of protein engineering for chemoenzymatic ...

Bacterial 2′,3′-cGAMP activates a SAVED effector to form membrane-disrupting filaments and restrict phage replication

open access: yesCell Host and Microbe
Summary Mammalian cells initiate antiviral signaling when cGAS detects cytoplasmic DNA and synthesizes 2′,3′-cGAMP, which activates STING. Similarly, bacteria use cyclic oligonucleotide-based antiphage signaling systems (CBASS) to detect phage using ...

Phylogenetic neighbor-joining tree of aminoglycoside nucleotidyltransferases (ANT(3")).

open access: yes, 2017
Numbers above each node are the percentages of tree configurations that occurred during 1000 bootstrap replicates. Only values greater than 70% are shown. The abbreviation of bacteria denoted as follow: E. coli, Escherichia coli; P.

Dysregulation of a nucleotidyltransferase induces division and surface glycan defects in Escherichia coli by altering related metabolite levels

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
Significance Bacterial nucleotidyltransferases synthesize precursors for virulence factors like surface polysaccharides and often are regulated via feedback inhibition.

Catalytic Mechanism and Allosteric Regulation of UDP-Glucose Pyrophosphorylase from Leishmania major

open access: yes, 2016
UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (UGP) is a nucleotidyltransferase of central importance in all organisms and considered an attractive drug target in the human pathogens Leishmania and Trypanosoma.
