Members of this family belong to a large family of nucleotidyltransferases [1]. This family includes kanamycin nucleotidyltransferase (KNTase) which is a plasmid-coded enzyme responsible for some types of bacterial resistance to aminoglycosides. KNTase in-activates antibiotics by catalysing the addition of a nucleotidyl group onto the drug.
This domain is located on the central part of a nucleotidyltransferase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Ant(4')-IIb) and in other bacterial proteins. It shows a four-helical up-and-down bundle.
