Structural snapshots along the reaction pathway of Yersinia pestis RipA, a putative butyryl-CoA transferase.

Abstract excerpt

Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of bubonic plague, is able to survive in both extracellular and intracellular environments within the human host, although its intracellular survival within macrophages is poorly understood. A novel Y. pestis three-gene rip (required for intracellular proliferation) operon, and in particular ripA, has been shown to be essential for survival and replication in interferon...
