Chemo-enzymatic methods for covalently crosslinking carrier proteins with partner enzymes within modular synthases hold promise for elucidating and engineering metabolic pathways. Our efforts to crystallize the ACP-KS complexes of fatty acid synthases have been complicated by difficulties in the purification of the crosslinked complex from the other proteins in the reaction. Here we present a solution that employs an orthogonal purification strategy to achieve the quantity and level of purity necessary for further studies of this complex.
在模块化合成酶中,通过化学酶法将载体蛋白与伴侣酶共价交联的方法,有望用于阐明和改造代谢途径。我们在结晶脂肪酸合成酶的ACP-KS复合物时,由于难以从反应中的其他蛋白质中纯化交联复合物而变得复杂。在此,我们提出一种解决方案,该方案采用正交纯化策略,以获得进一步研究该复合物所需的数量和纯度水平。
