Expression and purification of putative mycobacterial glycosyltransferase Rv3782 for crystallographic studies

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

A putative rhamnosyltransferase Rv3782 belongs to a group of glycosyltansferases (GTs) that are responsible for biosynthesis of cell wall envelope of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Mycobacterial cell wall contains some unique sugar components that play a crucial role in host-pathogen interaction and is responsible for high pathogen resistance against common therapeutic agents. Thus these GTs are interesting as potential drug targets. In previous part of our research we selected some genes of putative GTs (using various bioinformatics tools applied to M. tuberculosis H37Rv genome sequence) that should be mostly of interest. At present study we have been focused on structural analysis of Rv3782. The main problem is to obtain a sufficient amount of soluble and pure protein for crystallization studies. Most of the expressed protein forms inclusion bodies, probably because of its toxicity for host cells, and there are additional losses caused by high GTs hydrofobicity that complicates its puri
