Cysteine synthase from Escherichia coli is a bienzyme complex comprised of serine acetyltransferase (SAT) and O-acetylserine sulfhydrylase A. The site of interaction of a SAT molecule was investigated by gel chromatography and surface plasmon technique using various mutant-type SATs, to better understand the mechanism involved in complex formation. The C-terminus of SAT, Ile 273, along with Glu 268 and Asp 271, was found to be essential for complex formation. The effects of O-acetyl-L-serine and sulfide on the affinity for the complex formation were also studied using a surface plasmon technique.
来自大肠杆菌的半胱氨酸合酶是一种双酶复合物,由丝氨酸乙酰转移酶(SAT)和O-乙酰丝氨酸巯基酶A组成。为了更好地理解复合物形成所涉及的机制,使用各种突变型SAT通过凝胶色谱法和表面等离子体技术研究了SAT分子的相互作用位点。发现SAT的C末端Ile 273以及Glu 268和Asp 271对于复合物的形成至关重要。还使用表面等离子体技术研究了O-乙酰-L-丝氨酸和硫化物对复合物形成亲和力的影响。
