We constructed an overexpression system in Escherichia coli of the leuB gene coding for 3-isopropylmalate dehydrogenase in Thiobacillus ferrooxidans. E. coli harboring the plasmid we constructed, pKK leuB1, produced 17-fold the enzyme protein of the expression system previously used for purification. The substrate specificity of the enzyme was analyzed with synthetic (2R, 3S)-3-alkylmalates. The 3-isopropylmalate dehydrogenase of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans had broad specificity toward the alkylmalates.
我们构建了一个在大肠杆菌中的过表达系统,该系统用于表达编码氧化亚铁硫杆菌中3-异丙基苹果酸脱氢酶的leuB基因。携带我们构建的质粒pKK leuB1的大肠杆菌产生的酶蛋白是先前用于纯化的表达系统的17倍。用合成的(2R, 3S)-3-烷基苹果酸分析了该酶的底物特异性。氧化亚铁硫杆菌的3-异丙基苹果酸脱氢酶对烷基苹果酸具有广泛的特异性。
