Outline of Final Research Achievements |
L-[35S] cysteine was added as a tracer to a cell-free extract of Clostridium acetobutylicum, and analyzed by autoradiography. NifU-like protein was found to be radiolabeled with 35S. The nifU gene was amplified by PCR and inserted into the pCold I vector to construct an expression system and recombinant NifU-like proteins were obtained. With sulfur transfer system by E. coli cysteine desulfurase IscS and L-[35S]cysteine, the sulfur accepting capacity of the NifU-like protein was analyzed in vitro. The amount of 35S radiolabeled was increased with time, confirming that it has a sulfur receptor capacity.
