Recombinant Yersinia enterocolitica serotype O:8 / biotype 1B NADH-quinone oxidoreductase subunit K (nuoK) is a engineered protein produced through heterologous expression in E. coli. This subunit is part of the NADH-quinone oxidoreductase complex (NDH-1), a multi-subunit enzyme critical for bacterial electron transport and proton translocation . The recombinant form includes an N-terminal His-tag for affinity chromatography purification and is truncated to amino acids 1–100 (UniProt ID: A1JLI8) .
Recombinant nuoK is used in ELISA kits to detect specific antibodies or antigens, aiding in serological studies of Y. enterocolitica infections .
