Biochemical and X-ray analyses of the players involved in the faRel2/aTfaRel2 toxin–antitoxin operon

Crystallization strategies for and structural analyses of all of the players in the faRel2/aTfaRel2 toxin–antitoxin system are reported.

Characterization of a family I inorganic pyrophosphatase from Legionella pneumophila Philadelphia 1

The crystal structure of a soluble family I inorganic pyrophosphatase from L. pneumophila Philadelphia 1 was determined to a resolution of 2.0 Å. Inorganic pyrophosphatases play a central role in regulating cellular pyrophosphate concentration, which is important for many biosynthetic pathways. L. pneumophila Philadelphia 1 causes a rare but severe respiratory infection known as Legionnaires' disease.
