The ybeY protein from Escherichia coli is a metalloprotein
The ybeY protein is a hypothetical
Escherichia coli protein in the UPF0054 family with no functional annotation. The structure reported here reveals that the protein has an α/β fold and binds a metal ion with tetrahedral coordination. Bioinformatics analysis suggests that ybeY is a member of a family of metal-dependent hydrolases. This report was prepared using a semi-automated tool, termed the
Autopublish server, which represents a first step towards enabling the rapid publication of crystallographic structures that result from worldwide Structural Genomics efforts.
