[Abstract] The plastid encoded polymerase (PEP) represents a major transcription machinery in mature chloroplasts (Liere et al., 2011; Zhelyazkova et al., 2012). The proper assembly of this multi-subunit complex is important for plant growth and development (Pfalz and Pfannschmidt, 2013). The PEP polymerase can be purified from soluble and from membrane-bound (also named transcriptionally active chromosome, TAC) fractions. Blue Native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (BN-PAGE) and sucrose gradient sedimentation followed by immunoblot analyses is used to detect the status of the PEP complex assembly.
[摘要] 质体编码聚合酶（PEP）代表成熟叶绿体中的主要转录机制（Liere等人，2011; Zhelyazkova等人，2012）。 这种多亚基复合物的正确装配对于植物生长和发育是重要的（Pfalz和Pfannschmidt，2013）。 PEP聚合酶可以从可溶性和膜结合（也称为转录活性染色体，TAC）级分中纯化。 蓝色使用天然聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳（BN-PAGE）和蔗糖梯度沉淀，随后进行免疫印迹分析来检测PEP复合物组装体的状态。

[Abstract] Nedd8 is a small ubiquitin-like protein (9 kDa) covalently attached to a conserved lysine residue of a cullin protein which is part of cullin-RING ligases (CRLs). CRLs are major E3 ligases important for protein ubiquitination in the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway (UPP). The activity of CRLs is regulated by cycles of neddylation (CulA-N8, ~98 kDa) and deneddylation (CulA ~89 kDa). The COP9 signalosome (CSN) and Deneddylase A (DenA) are capable of cleaving the isopeptide bond between Nedd8 and CullinA. In contrast to the single protein DenA, CSN is an eight subunit multiprotein complex. Protein crude extracts of different Aspergillus nidulans csn deletion strains were mixed with recombinant CSN subunits expressed and purified from Escherichia coli (E. coli). Western ...
[摘要] Nedd8是共价连接到作为cullin-RING连接酶（CRL）的一部分的cullin蛋白的保守赖氨酸残基的小的遍在蛋白样蛋白（9kDa）。 CRL是对泛素 - 蛋白酶体途径（UPP）中的蛋白质泛素化重要的主要E3连接酶。 CRL的活性通过脱甲基化（CulA-N8，〜98kDa）和脱甲基化（CulA〜89kDa）的循环调节。 COP9信号体（CSN）和丁二酸酶A（DenA）能够切割Nedd8和CullinA之间的异肽键。与单一蛋白DenA相反，CSN是八亚基多蛋白复合物。将不同的构巢曲霉csn 缺失菌株的蛋白质粗提物与从大肠杆菌（大肠杆菌）表达和纯化的重组CSN亚基混合。使用抗CulA或抗Nedd8抗体的Western杂交实验可以显示Nedd化化合物与Denedd化CulA的比率。使用deneddylation测定，我们可以显示CsnE是在体外连接7-亚基预组装的CSN的最后一个亚基，然后CSN可以通过金属蛋白酶亚基CsnE执行cullin deneddylation。该测定法是一种快速且非昂贵的方法，其显现了用于脱蛋白的蛋白质的酶活性。它还可用于测试除去来自构巢曲霉（构巢曲霉）或其他生物体中的底物的翻译后修饰的其它藻肽的活性。
