The substrate specificity of Escherichia coli N-acetylneuraminic acid lyase was previously switched from the natural condensation of pyruvate with N-acetylmannosamine, yielding N-acetylneuraminic acid, to the aldol condensation generating N-alkylcarboxamide analogues of N-acetylneuraminic acid. This was achieved by a single mutation

To study the adaptation of an intestinal bacterium to its natural environment, germfree mice were associated with commensal Escherichia coli MG1655. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis was used to identify proteins differentially expressed in E. coli MG1655 collected from either cecal contents

Overexpression of recombinant proteins usually triggers the induction of heat shock proteins that regulate aggregation and solubility of the overexpressed protein. The two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE)-mass spectrometry approach was used to profile the proteome of Escherichia coli overexpressing N-acetyl-D-glucosamine 2-epimerase

As part of a general study into the impact of quaternary structure on enzyme function, a library of 31 point mutations were engineered at the dimer-dimer interface of the homotetrameric (beta/alpha)(8)-barrel protein, N-acetylneuraminate lyase (NAL, EC 4.1.3.3). Disruption of the
