Abstract

Acyl CoA dependent enzymes serve essential roles in cellular metabolism, however, many of the enzymes remain to be identified and isolated. We aim to combine expertise in chemistry and enzymology to build a generic technology, using photoaffinity labelling and proteomic analysis, aimed at identification of acyl CoA dependent enzymes and their substrate binding sites. We will use this to: (1) identify the acyl binding site of soluble glycerol-3-phospate acyltransferase (G3PAT), (2) identify and clone the plant membrane bound G3PAT and the anthocyanin 6-aromatic acyltransferaese, and (3) isolate binding site peptides of acyl CoA-utilising enzymes using new affinity tags and investigate their application to complex mixtures of proteins.
