摘要: Sporulation in Bacillus subtilis is used as the strategy of last resort for survival organism and it a very tightly controlled developmental process. One control checkpoints that must be overcome sporulation to occur repression genes by protein SinR (13.5 kDa). This done binding anti-repressor SinI (6.5 kDa) form bound heterodimer. To investigate interaction with solution, an analytical ultracentrifuge study was undertaken. found tetramer, whereas monomer/dimer equilibrium. Derivatives both SinR, where native tryptophan replaced analogue 7-aza-tryptophan (7AW), were expressed active wild-type proteins. The 7AW proteins have property having significant absorbance at 315 nm, thus allowing them monitored even presence containing proteins, making ideal studying protein/protein interactions.
