PelX is a member of the short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase superfamily of enzymes. Cartoon representations of PelXC232S. A, PelXC232S is displayed as found in the asymmetric unit with its N-terminal Rossmann fold domain shown in green, and its C-terminal substrate-binding α/β-domain in purple. B, overlay of PelXC232S/Y146F/S121A substrate complexes with the WT PelXC232S colored according to the legend in the figure. C, comparison of the active site of PelXC232S/Y146F/S121A–UDP-GalNAc complex, and WbpP–UDP-GalNAc complex (PDB ID: 1SB8). UDP-GalNAc and NADH (NAD+), and active site residues are shown in stick representation.
