Abstract excerpt
A method for general protein biotinylation by enzymatic means has been developed. A mutant form (R118G) of the biotin protein ligase (BirA) of Escherichia coli is used and biotinylation is thought to proceed by chemical acylation of protein lysine side chains by biotinoyl-5'-AMP released from the mutant protein. Bovine serum albumin, chloramphenicol acetyltransferase, immunoglobulin chains and RNAse A as well as...
