It has previously been shown that functional expression of CcrA, a metallo-beta-lactamase from Bacteroides fragilis, in Escherichia coli requires a mutation in either dsbA or dsbB, components of a periplasmic disulfide bond-catalyzing system. Site-directed mutagenesis resulting in the substitution of various amino acids for two of the three cysteine residues within CcrA allowed the expression of CcrA in a dsb+ background. This finding supports the hypothesis that DsbA creates aberrant disulfide bonds involving the Cys residues of CcrA.
先前的研究表明,脆弱拟杆菌的金属β-内酰胺酶CcrA在大肠杆菌中的功能性表达需要二硫键结合蛋白A(dsbA)或二硫键结合蛋白B(dsbB)发生突变,这两种蛋白是周质二硫键催化系统的组成部分。通过定点诱变,将CcrA中三个半胱氨酸残基中的两个替换为各种氨基酸,使得CcrA能够在dsb+背景下表达。这一发现支持了以下假设:DsbA会形成涉及CcrA半胱氨酸残基的异常二硫键。
