Electrostatic interactions guide substrate recognition of the prokaryotic ubiquitin-like protein ligase PafA

Abstract Pupylation, a post-translational modification found in Mycobacterium tuberculosis and other Actinobacteria, involves the covalent attachment of prokaryotic ubiquitin-like protein (Pup) to lysines on target proteins by the ligase PafA (proteasome accessory factor A). Pupylated proteins, like...
