Serine 123-129 streptothricin acetyltransferase Escherichia coli 133-136 15231846-1 2004 Serine acetyltransferase (SAT) catalyzes the first step of cysteine synthesis in microorganisms and higher plants. Cysteine 59-67 streptothricin acetyltransferase Escherichia coli 26-29 15231846-2 2004 Here we present the 2.2 A crystal structure of SAT from Escherichia coli, which is a dimer of trimers, in complex with cysteine. Cysteine 119-127 streptothricin acetyltransferase Escherichia coli 47-50 15231846-5 2004 This structure shows the mechanism by which cysteine inhibits SAT activity and thus controls its own synthesis. Cysteine 44-52 streptothricin acetyltransferase Escherichia coli 62-65 15231846-7 2004 On the basis of the geometry around the cysteine binding site, we are able to suggest a mechanism for the O-acetylation of serine by SAT. Cysteine 40-48 streptothricin acetyltransferase Escherichia coli 133-136
