Journal ArticleDOI

A structural classification of substrate-binding proteins

TL;DR: This work proposes a new classification into six clusters of substrate‐binding proteins, based on features of their three‐dimensional structure, and divides these proteins into three structural classes and two functional classes.
Journal ArticleDOI

H662 is the linchpin of ATP hydrolysis in the nucleotide-binding domain of the ABC transporter HlyB

TL;DR: The hypothesis that substrate‐assisted catalysis, rather than general base catalysis might operate in ABC‐ATPases is discussed, based on biochemical experiments, and proposed model in which E631 and H662, highly conserved among ABC transporters, form a catalytic dyad.
Journal ArticleDOI

New developments in RiPP discovery, enzymology and engineering

TL;DR: The review discusses the new classes of RiPPs that have been discovered, the advances in the understanding of the installation of both primary and secondary post-translational modifications, and the mechanisms by which the enzymes recognize the leader peptides in their substrates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure and mechanism of ABC transporters.

TL;DR: Recently determined structures of full-length ABC transporters and isolated ABC domains have increased the understanding of the functional mechanism of these proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI

Type 1 protein secretion in bacteria, the ABC-transporter dependent pathway (Review)

TL;DR: While recent structural studies of TolC and MFP-like proteins are providing atomic detail of much of the transport path, structural analysis of the HlyB NBD and other ABC ATPases have revealed details of the catalytic cycle within an NBD dimer and a glimpse of how the action of Hly B is coupled to the translocation of HlA.
