What is it about?
The crystal structure of protein HP1029 from Helicobacter pylori shows that HP1029 belongs to the DUF386 family. The protein is a homo-dimer, where each monomer binds a zinc ion. Indirect evidences suggest a possible role in the metabolism of bacteria surface saccharides, such as the pseudaminic acid and its derivatives.
