speG : arginine catabolic mobile element spermidine N(1)-acetyltransferase [1]

• this polyamine acetyltransferase is found in the Arginine Catabolic Mobile Element (ACME) that is sometimes found alongside the SCCmec cassette, particularly in USA300 MRSA strains. It is a key factor in the success of the lineage, enhancing biofilm potential, reducing host-mediated killing, and detoxifying host polyamines, facilitating skin colonization.

A crystal structure of SpeG is available : 8FV0
