Structural and functional insights into δ-poly-L-ornithine polymer biosynthesis from Acinetobacter baumannii

Abstract Cationic homo-polyamino acid (CHPA) peptides containing isopeptide bonds of diamino acids have been identified from Actinomycetes strains. However, none has been reported from other bacteria. Here, we report a δ-poly-L-ornithine synthetase from Acinetobacter baumannii, which we name PosA. S...
