1 In the enzyme serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SHMT or GlyA protein), which links amino acid and nucleotide metabolisms by generating the key intermediate for one-carbon transfer reactions, two conserved inserts of 3 and 31 amino acids (aa) are uniquely present in various chlamydiae species as well as in a subset of Actinobacteria and in the Treponema species.
