The development of a general 1-Zn(II) nucleoside diphosphate (NDP) sensor assay for rapid evaluation of glycosyltransferase (GT) activity is described. The 1-Zn(II) NDP sensor assay offers submicromolar sensitivity, compatibility with both purified enzymes and crude cell extracts, and exquisite selectivity for NDPs over the corresponding NDP-sugars. Thus, the 1-Zn(II) NDP sensor assay is anticipated to offer broad applicability in the context of GT engineering and characterization.
本文描述了一种通用的 1-Zn(II)核苷二磷酸(NDP)传感器测定法的开发,用于快速评估糖基转移酶(GT)的活性。1-Zn(II) NDP 传感器测定法具有亚微摩尔的灵敏度,与纯化酶和粗细胞提取物兼容,并对 NDP 具有极高的选择性,超过相应的 NDP-糖。因此,预计 1-Zn(II) NDP 传感器测定法将在 GT 工程和表征方面具有广泛的适用性。
