The intrinsically disordered membrane-bound selenoprotein s (selenos) takes part in the protein quality control pathway, vesicle trafficking, and NF-kB signaling. The reactive selenocysteine (Sec) at the penultimate position is responsible for its enzymatic activity. We report the preparation of the soluble segment as well as the full-length selenos using expressed protein ligation. This chapter discusses the practical considerations of expressed protein ligation using selenopeptides and describes our optimized procedure for the semi-synthesis of selenos.
固有无序的膜结合硒蛋白 s(selenos)参与蛋白质质量控制途径、囊泡运输和 NF-kB 信号转导。倒数第二位的反应性硒代半胱氨酸 (Sec) 负责其酶活性。我们使用表达蛋白连接法制备了可溶性片段和全长 selenos。本章讨论了使用硒肽进行表达蛋白连接的实际考虑因素,并描述了我们优化的半合成 selenos 的程序。
