ADP-ribosylation is a ubiquitous regulatory posttranslational modification involved in numerous key processes such as DNA repair, transcription, cell differentiation, apoptosis, and the pathogenic mechanism of certain bacterial toxins. Despite the importance of this reversible process, very little is known about the structure and mechanism of the hydrolases that catalyze removal of the ADP-ribose moiety. In the phototrophic bacterium Rhodospirillum rubrum, dinitrogenase reductase-activating glyc ...[more]
