Microbiology (Reading, England).Microbiology.2015 Aug;161(8):1671-82. doi: 10.1099/mic.0.000122.
L-Ornithine production in the alfalfa microsymbiont Sinorhizobium meliloti occurs as an intermediate step in arginine biosynthesis. Ornithine is required for effective symbiosis but its synthesis in S. meliloti has been little studied. Unlike most bacteria, S. meliloti 1021 is annotated as encoding

Arylalkylamine N-acetyltransferase (aaNAT) catalyzes the transacetylation from acetyl-CoA to arylalkylamines. aaNATs are involved in sclerotization and neurotransmitter inactivation in insects. Phyletic distribution analysis confirms three clusters of aaNAT-like sequences in insects: typical insect

Calreticulin transacetylase (CRTAase) is known to catalyze the transfer of acetyl group from polyphenolic acetates (PA) to certain receptor proteins (RP), thus modulating their activity. Herein, we studied for the first time the substrate specificity of CRTAase towards N-acetylamino derivatives of c
