AcdK
AcdK is a non-natural amino acid and a precursor of allysine. AcdK allows site-specific incorporation into target proteins in E. coli via the amber suppression strategy. AcdK enables site-specific lysine dimethylation or monomethylation modification of target proteins. AcdK can synthesize site-specific lysine-methylated variants of histone H3 and p53, which is applicable for investigating the substrate specificity and catalytic function of epigenetic enzymes.

Actividad biológica
Descripciòn
In Vitro
AcdK (0.5 mM) is efficiently and site-specifically incorporated into sfGFP at position D134 in E. coli BL21(DE3) cells, and subsequent biocompatible reactions enable quantitative conversion to sfGFP with site-specific lysine dimethylation at position D134[1].
AcdK (2 mM) is efficiently and site-specifically incorporated into histone H3 at positions K4, K9, or K36 in E. coli BL21(DE3) cells, and subsequent biocompatible reactions enable conversion to site-specific dimethylated histone H3 variants[1].
AcdK is efficiently and site-specifically incorporated into p53 at position K372 in E. coli BL21(DE3) cells, and subsequent biocompatible reactions enable conversion to p53 with site-specific lysine mono- or dimethylation at K372, which directly enhances Tip60-catalyzed acetylation of p53 at K120 by 2.5- to 3-fold[1].
