Title: Methods for protein labeling based on acyl carrier protein
Inventor: JOHNSSON KAI
IPC: G01N33/58
Filed: 2004-05-19
Abstract: Disclosed is a method for labeling acyl carrier protein (ACP) fusion proteins with a wide variety of different labels. The method relies on the transfer of a label from a coenzyme A type substrate to an ACP fusion protein using a holo-acyl carrier protein synthase (ACPS) or a homologue thereof. The method allows detecting and manipulating the fusion protein by attaching molecules to the fusion proteins that introduce a new physical or chemical property to the fusion protein. Examples of such labels are, among others, spectroscopic probes or reporter molecules, affinity tags, molecules generating reactive radicals, cross-linkers, ligands mediating protein-protein interactions or molecules suitable for the immobilization of the fusion protein.
