Authors' contributions
S.C. participated in the design of the study and performed the identification and cloning of polyserase-3. He also contributed to the elaboration of the manuscript. J.-R.P. carried out the expression of the recombinant protein in different systems and performed the molecular modelling studies. M.L. collaborated in the molecular cloning studies and performed tissue expression analysis of polyserase-3. V.Q. participated in the purification and enzymatic analysis of the recombinant proteins. A. M.-P. carried out the evolutionary analysis of polyserase-3. C.G. performed studies with the different cell lines. C.L.-O. conceived the study, participated in its design and wrote most sections of the manuscript. All authors read and approved the final manuscript.
