<h4>Background</h4>The Escherichia coli protein GlgS is up-regulated in response to starvation stress and its overexpression was shown to stimulate glycogen synthesis.<h4>Results</h4>We solved the structure of GlgS from E. coli, a member of an enterobacterial protein family. The protein structure represents a bundle of three alpha-helices with a short hydrophobic helix sandwiched between two long amphipathic helices.<h4>Conclusion</h4>GlgS shows structural homology to Huntingtin, elongation fact ...[more]
