technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a kit for studying the ubiquitin-like system in bacteria and its application, belonging to the technical field of biology. Background technique
[0002] Escherichia coli ubiquitin-like protein ThiS is a small molecule protein with a molecular weight of 7.2kDa. Its structure is very similar to that of ubiquitin protein. They all have five β sheets and two α helices. Previous studies have found that it is involved in the synthesis of vitamin B1 ( Iyer, L.M., Burroughs, A.M. & Aravind, L. The prokaryotic antecedents of the ubiquitin-signaling system and the early evolution of ubiquitin-like β-grasp domains. Genome Biology 7, 91-96 (2006)). ThiS and ThiF proteins are mainly involved in the synthesis of vitamin B1 in vivo. ThiF can activate the two GGs at the end of ThiSC, and then participate in the sulfur transport process. The main function of ThiF protein is to adenylylate ThiS protein (activation function) when vitamin B1 is sy...
