El trabajo revela un arreglo inusual de enzimas en el celulosoma de bacterias anaeróbicas celulolíticas

UNA PROTEINA ADAPTADORA QUE AUMENTA EL REPERTORIO DE ENZIMAS EN EL CELULOSOMA DE RUMINOCOCCUS FLAVEFACIENS

Se identificó un nuevo gen –denominado scaC– que codifica para una nueva proteína estructural del celulosoma. Este gen interactúa específicamente con otra proteína estructural del celulosoma, ScaA, y a su vez es capaz de interactuar con proteínas nativas con dominios de anclaje (dockerin) aún no identificados. Los datos presentados sugieren que el papel de ScaC es el de una proteína adaptadora por medio de la cual otros polipéptidos se ensamblan en el celulosoma.
