altered architecture of substrate binding region defines the unique specificity of udp-galnac 4-epimerases. | udp-hexose 4-epimerases play a pivotal role in lipopolysaccharide (lps) biosynthesis and leloir pathway. these epimerases are classified into three groups based on whether they recognize nonacetylated udp-hexoses (group 1), both n-acetylated and nonacetylated udp-hexoses (group 2) or only n-acetylated udp-hexoses (group 3). although the catalysis has been investigated extensively, yet a definitive model rationalizing the substrate specificity of all the three groups on a common platform is large ... | 2011 | 21384454 |
molecular evidence of plesiomonas shigelloides as a possible zoonotic agent. | the most frequently used method for establishing epidemiological relationships between plesiomonas shigelloides strains is o:h serotyping. however, a number of strains are not serotypeable and isolates from diverse sources can display the same serovar. moreover, since the zoonotic nature of plesiomonas has been suggested and this hypothesis is based on the identical serovars found in animals and humans, we intend to use four dna-based techniques: random amplified polymorphic dna-pcr, enterobacte ... | 2011 | 21584782 |
insights into role of the hydrogen bond networks in substrate recognition by udp-galnac 4-epimerases. | udp-hexose 4-epimerases are critical in galactose metabolism and often important in lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis as well. three groups of these enzymes have been reported based on their substrate specificity towards non-acetylated substrates (group 1), dual specificity towards n-acetylated and non-acetylated substrates (group 2) and specificity towards n-acetylated substrates (group 3). we recently reported the structure of a novel udp-galnac 4-epimerase called wbgu and based on the structure ... | 2011 | 21810411 |
