Conserved residues in the putative catalytic triad of human bile acid Coenzyme A:amino acid N-acyltransferase.

Abstract excerpt

Human bile acid-CoA:amino acid N-acyltransferase (hBAT), an enzyme catalyzing the conjugation of bile acids with the amino acids glycine or taurine has significant sequence homology with dienelactone hydrolases and other alpha/beta hydrolases. These enzymes have a conserved catalytic triad that maps onto the mammalian BATs at residues Cys-235, Asp-328, and His-362 of the human sequence, albeit that the hydrolases...
