cis-polyprenyl diphosphate synthases are involved in the biosynthesis of the glycosyl carrier lipid in most organisms. However, only little is known about this enzyme of archaea. In this report, we isolated the gene of cis-polyprenyl diphosphate synthase from a thermoacidophilic archaeon, Sulfolobus acidocaldarius, and characterized the recombinant enzyme.
顺式聚异戊二烯二磷酸合酶参与大多数生物体中糖基载体脂质的生物合成。然而,关于古细菌的这种酶,人们了解甚少。在本报告中,我们从嗜热嗜酸古细菌嗜酸热硫化叶菌中分离出顺式聚异戊二烯二磷酸合酶基因,并对重组酶进行了表征。
