This is the C-terminal domain of N-formyltransferase found in Francisella tularensis. N-formylated sugars are observed on O-antigens of pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria. This C-terminal domain is responsible for dimerization. In particular, the beta hairpin motif present in the domain helps create a subunit-subunit interface. The dimeric interface is characterized by a hydrophobic patch formed by Ile 195, Leu 197, Val 201, Met 203, Ile 207, Phe 223, Val 231, Val 233, Leu 235, and Leu 237 from both monomers [1].
This family includes the following members. Glycinamide ribonucleotide transformylase catalyses the third step in de novo purine biosynthesis, the transfer of a formyl group to 5'-phosphoribosylglycinamide. Formyltetrahydrofolate deformylase produces ...
This family includes the following members. Glycinamide ribonucleotide transformylase catalyses the third step in de novo purine biosynthesis, the transfer of a formyl group to 5'-phosphoribosylglycinamide. Formyltetrahydrofolate deformylase produces formate from formyl- tetrahydrofolate. Methionyl-tRNA formyltransferase transfers a formyl group onto the amino terminus of the acyl moiety of the methionyl aminoacyl-tRNA. Inclusion of the following members is supported by PSI-blast. HOXX_BRAJA (P31907) contains a related domain of unknown function. PRTH_PORGI (P46071) contains a related domain of unknown function. Y09P_MYCTU (Q50721) contains a related domain of unknown function.
