Bile salt hydrolases (BSHs) are gut microbial enzymes that catalyze the deconjugation of glycine-or taurine-conjugated bile acids (BAs), a key step in shaping the BA pool in the human gastrointestinal tract and modulating host-gut microbiome interactions.1–3 All known BSHs are members of the N-terminal nucleophile (Ntn) hydrolase superfamily and share a conserved architecture and mechanism involving a nucleophilic active site cysteine.4,5 This knowledge has guided predictions and study of BSH...
