Crystal structure of candida albicans N-myristoyltransferase with myristoyl-COA and peptidic inhibitor
Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 12401496
Function
[NMT_CANAL] Adds a myristoyl group to the N-terminal glycine residue of certain cellular proteins. Substrate specificity requires an N-terminal glycine in the nascent polypeptide substrates. Ser is present at position 5 in almost all known N-myristoyl proteins and Lys is commonly encountered at postion 6. Basic residues are preferred at positions 7 and 8.[1] [2] [3]
About this Structure
1iyk is a 2 chain structure with sequence from Candida albicans. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA.
