The crystal structure of H. influenzae RsuA has been determined and refined at 1.59 Å resolution. While the overall structures of the individual S4 and catalytic domains are very similar to those of E. coli RsuA, a large conformational change between these two domains observed in H. influenzae RsuA offers insight into the possible mode of rRNA recognition by this enzyme.
