You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMedThe three ribosomal proteins L7, S5, and S18 are included in the rare subset of prokaryotic proteins that are known to be N(alpha)-acetylated. The GCN5-related N-acetyltransferase (GNAT) protein RimI, responsible for the N(alpha)-acetylation of the ribosomal protein S18, was cloned from Salmonella typhimurium LT2 (RimI(ST)), overexpressed, and purified to homogeneity. Steady-state kinetic parameters for RimI(ST) were determined for AcCoA and a peptide substrate consisting of the first six amino acids of the target protein S18. The crystal structure of RimI(ST) was determined in complex with CoA, AcCoA, and a CoA-S-acetyl-ARYFRR bisubstrate inhibitor. The structures are consistent with a direct nucleophilic addition-elimination mechanism with Glu103 and Tyr115 acting as the catalytic base and acid, respectively. The RimI(ST)-bisubstrate complex suggests that several residues change conformation upon interacting with the N terminus of S18, including Glu103, the proposed active site base, facilitating proton exchange and catalysis.
