Reports summarize bioengineering research from S. Sueda and co-authors
Published in Proteomics Weekly, February 15th, 2010
According to a study from Fukuoka, Japan, "Biotin protein ligase (BPL) mediates covalent attachment of biotin to a specific lysine residue of biotin carboxyl carrier protein (BCCP) of biotin-dependent enzymes. We recently found that the biotinylation reaction from thermophilic archaeon Sulfolobus tokodaii has a unique characteristic that the enzyme BPL forms a tight complex with the product, biotinylated BCCP (169 amino acid residues)."
"In the current work, we attempted to apply this characteristic to a novel protein tagging system. Thus, the N terminus of S. tokodaii BCCP was truncated and the interaction of the resulting BCCP, BCCP Delta 100 and BCCP Delta 17 (with...
