¹H, ¹³C and ¹⁵N backbone and sidechain assignment of the Burkholderia mallei acyl carrier protein

Acyl carrier proteins (ACPs) are universally conserved proteins amongst different species and are involved in fatty acid synthesis. Bacteria utilize ACPs as acyl carriers and donors for the synthesis of products such as endotoxins or acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs), which are used in quorum sensing mechanisms. In this study, wehave expressed isotopically labeled holo-ACP from Burkholderia mallei in Escherichia coli to assign 100% of non-proline backbone amide (HN) resonances, 95.5% of aliphatic carbon resonances and 98.6% of aliphatic hydrogen sidechain resonances.
