Biosynthetic and Structural Studies
subclass and is closely related to Fc-fragment of G3immunoglobulins. The predominant N-terminal amino acid of this protein is glutamic acid in the uncyclized form, and that of another -yHCD is glycine. Studies of the N-terminal peptides indicate that the N-terminal portion of the y3-heavy polypeptide chain is absent from the -yHCD-JM. These findings rule out a process of normal heavy chain init...
متن کاملManipulating natural product biosynthetic pathways via DNA assembler.
DNA assembler is an efficient synthetic biology method for constructing and manipulating biochemical pathways. The rapidly increasing number of sequenced genomes provides a rich source for discovery of gene clusters involved in synthesizing new natural products. However, both discovery and economical production are hampered by our limited knowledge in manipulating most organisms and the corresp...
متن کاملNatural product biosynthetic gene diversity in geographically distinct soil microbiomes.
The number of bacterial species estimated to exist on Earth has increased dramatically in recent years. This newly recognized species diversity has raised the possibility that bacterial natural product biosynthetic diversity has also been significantly underestimated by previous culture-based studies. Here, we compare 454-pyrosequenced nonribosomal peptide adenylation domain, type I polyketide ...
متن کاملStructural studies of rebeccamycin, staurosporine, and violacein biosynthetic enzymes
The biosynthesis of medically relevant bisindole natural products rebeccamycin, staurosporine, and violacein from the common starting material L-tryptophan involves shared enzymatic transformations. However, the pathways diverge at two steps, each involving a reactive, bisindole intermediate. We have taken a structural approach to characterize the biosynthetic enzymes responsible for these dive...
متن کاملStructural Studies on Cytoskeletal Proteins.
A number of componenets of cytoskeleton are very large proteins which are in their complete native form non amenable to the structure determination via X-ray diffraction techniques due to their non-globular shape and intrinsic flexibility which hinder the formation of suitable crystals. Dissecting such proteins into their representative building blocks-domains and subsequent structural studies ...
