Sortase from Staphylococcus aureus Does Not Contain a Thiolate-Imidazolium Ion Pair in Its Active Site
29 Aug 2003
Abstract excerpt
Many surface proteins are anchored to the cell wall by the action of sortase enzymes, a recently discovered family of cysteine transpeptidases. As the surface proteins of human pathogens are frequently required for virulence, the sortase-mediated anchoring reaction represents a potential target for new anti-infective agents. It has been suggested that the sortase from Staphylococcus aureus (SrtA), may use a...
