Description

Definition and Biological Role

ATP synthase subunit alpha (atpA) is a critical component of the ATP synthase complex, which catalyzes ATP production via oxidative phosphorylation. In A. succinogenes, this enzyme plays a role in energy metabolism during anaerobic fermentation, particularly in pathways linked to succinic acid (SA) biosynthesis .

Recombinant Expression and Applications

While no direct studies on recombinant A. succinogenes AtpA were found, genetic engineering in this organism is well-documented. For example:

  • Plasmid Systems: A. succinogenes has been engineered using shuttle vectors (e.g., pLGZ901/pLGZ920) for gene overexpression or knockout .

  • Metabolic Flux Analysis: Genome-scale models (e.g., iBP722) predict ATP synthase’s role in redirecting carbon flux toward SA production under anaerobic conditions .

Key Research Gaps and Challenges

  • Sequence Data: The atpA gene in A. succinogenes has not been explicitly annotated in the provided sources.

  • Functional Studies: No experimental data on recombinant AtpA purification, kinetics, or structural analysis were identified.

Comparative Insights from Related Organisms

A recombinant ATP synthase subunit alpha from Xanthomonas oryzae (UniProt: Q5H4Y6) was documented , highlighting methodological frameworks that could be adapted for A. succinogenes:

Lead Time
Delivery time varies by purchase method and location. Consult local distributors for specific delivery times. All proteins are shipped with blue ice packs by default. Contact us in advance for dry ice shipping (extra fees apply).
Notes
Avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store working aliquots at 4°C for up to one week.
Reconstitution
Briefly centrifuge the vial before opening. Reconstitute protein in sterile deionized water to 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Add 5-50% glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20°C/-80°C. Our default final glycerol concentration is 50%.
