Characterization of the 4-hydroxybenzoyl-coenzyme A thioesterase from Arthrobacter sp. strain SU

Article Abstract:

Research has been conducted on Arthrobacter sp. strain SU 4-chlorobenzoate dehalogenation pathway wich converts 4-chlorobenzoate to 4-hydroxybenzoate. The fcbC thioesterase gene from the pathway operon has been subcloned and expressed in Escherichia coli, and its protein product has been characterized.

Inactivation of mshB, a key gene in the mycothiol biosynthesis pathway in Mycobacterium smegmatis

Article Abstract:

Research has been conducted on mshB gene, the key enzyme in mycothiol biosynthesis. Results demonstrate that the disruption of this gene in Mycobacterium smegmatis has led to mycothiol production decrease.
