Abstract

The enzyme DrrA of the human pathogen Legionella pneumophila adenylylates specifically a tyrosine of the GTPase Rab1. An efficient synthesis route using Fmoc solid phase peptide synthesis led to Tyr-adenylylated peptides and allowed the generation of mono-selective polyclonal antibodies against this post-translational modification.
