Chloramphenicol acetyltransferase

spinqualitylabelsall models E. coli chloramphenicol acetyltransferase III complex with chloramphenicol and Co+2 ions (PDB entry 3cla) Show:Asymmetric Unit Biological Assembly Drag the structure with the mouse to rotate   Export Animated Image   Print3D Function Chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) is an enzyme which makes bacteria resistant to chloramphenicol. It attaches acetyl from acetyl-CoA to chloramphenicol thus preventing it from binding to the ribosome. Additional details in Chloramphenicol Acetyltransferase Type III. Structural highlights E. coli chloramphenicol acetyltransferase III is homotrimer. In CAT III chloramphenicol binds in a deep pocket at the interface of 2 subunits (PDB entry 3cla). Water molecules are shown as red spheres. 3D Structures of Chloramphenicol acetyltransferase Chloramphenicol acetyltransferase 3D structures
