Structural insights into the mechanism of the membrane integral N-acyltransferase step in bacterial lipoprotein synthesis

Lipoproteins are essential components of bacterial membranes. Here the authors present the crystal structures ofPseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coliapolipoprotein N-acyltransferase, which catalyses the final step in the lipoprotein synthesis pathway, and give insights into its mechanism.
