Abstract excerpt
CstII is a bifunctional sialyltransferase from Campylobacter jejuni that is active as a tetramer. CstIIs from different strains show substantial differences in enzyme activities (mono- versus bi-functional) and kinetic parameters. Crystal structures of CstII show that His85, conserved in CstIIs from different strains is part of an 11-residue loop that abuts the extended acceptor-binding site and is also part of...
