high-quality draft genome sequence of rhizobium mesoamericanum strain stm6155, a mimosa pudica microsymbiont from new caledonia.	rhizobium mesoamericanum stm6155 (inscd = atyy01000000) is an aerobic, motile, gram-negative, non-spore-forming rod that can exist as a soil saprophyte or as an effective nitrogen fixing microsymbiont of the legume mimosa pudica l.. stm6155 was isolated in 2009 from a nodule of the trap host m. pudica grown in nickel-rich soil collected near mont dore, new caledonia. r. mesoamericanum stm6155 was selected as part of the doe joint genome institute 2010 genomic encyclopedia for bacteria and archae ...	2017	28116041
crystal structure of stna for the biosynthesis of antitumor drug streptonigrin reveals a unique substrate binding mode.	streptonigrin methylesterase a (stna) is one of the tailoring enzymes that modify the aminoquinone skeleton in the biosynthesis pathway of streptomyces species. although stna has no significant sequence homology with the reported α/β-fold hydrolases, it shows typical hydrolytic activity in vivo and in vitro. in order to reveal its functional characteristics, the crystal structures of the selenomethionine substituted stna (semet-stna) and the complex (s185a mutant) with its substrate were resolve ...	2017	28074848
