Outline of Final Research Achievements

To develop compounds that inhibit the cyanobacteria specific synthetic pathway for photosynthetic membrane lipid, selection of proteins suitable for high-throughput screening with a chemical library and development of an assay system were conducted. First, a glycolipid synthase (MgdA) from the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 was tested but the SN ratio was not enough high for the screening. Among six MgdA proteins examined, MgdA of a thermophilic cyanobacteria showed approximately twice as much activity compare to that of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. This MgdA protein of thermophilic cyanobacteria is now expressed in E. coli with tag for affinity purification. Using this tagged protein, we would like to establish a detection system using a fluorescent probe.
