“…strain CBS-3 (PsHTE;Benning et al, 1998;Thoden et al, 2002) and from Arthrobacter sp. (ArHTE; Thoden et al, 2003), medium-chain acyl-CoA thioesterase II from E. coli (EcTEII; Li et al, 2000), TtPaaI from T. thermophilus (Kunishima et al, 2005), the putative acyl-CoA thioesterase from Xanthomonas campestris (XC229; Chin et al, 2006), human thioesterase superfamily member 2 (Cheng et al, 2006), acyl-CoA thioesterase from Haemophilus influenzae (HI0827; Willis et al, 2008) and the bacterial acyl-CoA thioesterase HpYbgC from Helicobacter pylori (Angelini et al, 2008). Here, we report the crystal structure of the thioesterasefamily member TTHA1846 from T. thermophilus HB8 in complex with CoA.…”
