Bile salt hydrolase/aminoacyltransferase shapes the microbiome
2022-10-10
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Bile acids (BAs) are steroid detergents in bile that contribute to the absorption of fats and fat-soluble vitamins while shaping the gut microbiome due to their antimicrobial properties. Recently, a novel mechanism of BA metabolism by the gut microbiota was identified involving conjugation with various amino acids. Here, we show this unique biochemistry is mediated by bile salt hydrolas...
