Abstract
The nifV gene product (NifV) from Azotobacter vinelandii was recombinantly expressed at high levels in Escherichia coli and purified. NifV is a homodimer that catalyzes the condensation of acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) and alpha-ketoglutarate. Although alpha-ketoglutarate supports the highest level of activity, NifV will also catalyze the condensation of acetyl-CoA and certain other keto acids. E. coli cells in which a high level of nifV expression is induced excrete homocitrate into the growth medium.Entities:
