---|---|---|---|
acetyl-CoA + an alpha-2,8-linked polymer of sialic acid = CoA + polysialic acid acetylated at O-7 or O-9 | identification of highly conserved active site residues and catalytic mechanism, residues His147, Trp171, His119, and Trp143 are important, overview | Escherichia coli |
Subunits | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
homotrimer | the enzyme belongs to the left-handed beta-helix family of acyltransferases and is characterized by an unusual funnel-shaped outline. NeuO displays an unusual quaternary structure arrangement presumably is an adaptation to accommodate the exceptionally long polySia acceptor | Escherichia coli |

evolution | the homotrimeric enzyme belongs to the left-handed beta-helix family of acyltransferases and is characterized by an unusual funnel-shaped outline | Escherichia coli |
additional information | the enzymatic activity linearly increases with the length of the N-terminal poly-psi-domain which is composed of a variable number of tandem copies of an RLKTQDS heptad, the poly-psi-domain is not resolved in the crystal structure | Escherichia coli |
physiological function | K1 capsule O-acetylation undergoes highfrequency phase-variation involving also the polysialic acid specific O-acetyltransferase | Escherichia coli |
