S-(2-Aminoethyl)-L-cysteine (AEC) hydrochloride is used as a lysine analogue for comparative analysis with other lysine analogues. S-(2-Aminoethyl)-L-cysteine is an alternative substrate useful for characterizing lysine cyclodeaminase from Streptomyces pristinaespiralis. AEC may be used as a non-antibiotic selection agent for genetically engineered soybeans expressing a lysine insensitive DHPS gene. AEC is being studied as an amino acid antibiotic.

Lysine insertion during coded protein synthesis requires lysyl-tRNA(Lys), which is synthesized by lysyl-tRNA synthetase (LysRS). Two unrelated forms of LysRS are known: LysRS2, which is found in eukaryotes, most bacteria, and a few archaea, and LysRS1, which is found in

Insertion of lysine during protein synthesis depends on the enzyme lysyl-tRNA synthetase (LysRS), which exists in two unrelated forms, LysRS1 and LysRS2. LysRS1 has been found in most archaea and some bacteria, and LysRS2 has been found in eukarya, most

Penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) and beta-lactamases are members of large families of bacterial enzymes. These enzymes undergo acylation at a serine residue with their respective substrates as the first step in their catalytic events. Penicillin-binding protein 5 (PBP 5) of Escherichia

Rheb GTPase is a key player in the control of growth, cell cycle and nutrient uptake that is conserved from yeast to humans. To further our understanding of the Rheb pathway, we sought to identify hyperactivating mutations in the Schizosaccharomyces

Thermus thermophilus exhibits hypersensitivity to a lysine analog, (S)-2-aminoethyl-cysteine (AEC). Cosmid libraries were constructed using genomes from two AEC-resistant mutants, AT10 and AT14, and the cosmids that conferred AEC resistance on the wild-type strain were isolated. When the cosmid library
