Lipoic Acid Synthase (LipA) can accommodate a [4Fe-4S] cluster that is thought to be essential for the insertion of sulfur into an octanoyl substrate during the biosynthesis of lipoic acid. With the objective of improving soluble holo-LipA expression, a series of multi-cistronic plasmids were constructed carrying lipA in combination with one of the three systems: groE/SL, trxA, or the isc operon. Co-expression of lipA with the isc operon approximately trebled the isolated yield of soluble LipA and resulted in efficient assembly of the Fe-S cluster. This strategy may be helpful in the soluble expression of a wide range of Fe-S cluster-dependent proteins. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science (USA). All rights reserved.
