Metabolic engineering Assembling activity
Abstract
Appl. Environ. Microbiol. , published online 23 March 2012 , doi: 10.1128/AEM.07679-11 Multienzyme complexes organize enzymatic functions into defined architectures to speed transfer of intermediates and facilitate specialized reactions. The cellulosome assembles cellulose-degrading enzymes on the cell surface using a scaffoldin protein containing cohesin domains to anchor enzymes. Sun et al . now explore the portability of this system as well as the differential ability of two scaffoldins...
