Recombinant Rhodobacter capsulatus Xanthine Dehydrogenase, a Useful Model System for the Characterization of Protein Variants Leading to Xanthinuria I in Humans
30 May 2003
Abstract excerpt
Rhodobacter capsulatus xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH) forms an (alphabeta)2 heterotetramer and is highly homologous to homodimeric eukaryotic XDHs. The crystal structures of bovine XDH and R. capsulatus XDH showed that the two proteins have highly similar folds. We have developed an efficient system for the recombinant expression of R. capsulatus XDH in Escherichia coli. The recombinant protein shows spectral...
