Cyanophycin granule polypeptide

The third mechanism is represented by nonmodular one-step peptide synthesis. Enzymes belonging to this group catalyze the biosynthesis of poly(amino acids). Naturally occurring poly(amino acids) comprise cyanophy-cin [multi-L-arginyl-poly-(L-aspartic acid) cyanophycin granule polypeptide, (CGP)], (poly-(e-lysine) (PL), and poly-(y-glutamate) (PGA). As a consequence of non-ribosomal biosynthesis these peptides reveal a polydisperse mass distribution. [Pg.248]

Cyanophycin granule polypeptide (CGP) is a microbial poly(amino acid) synthesized and sequestered as inclusion bodies by cyanobacteria [310] and other microorganisms [311]. CGP is composed of a poly(aspartic acid) (poly(Asp)) backbone chain with arginine (Arg) residues attached as pendant groups (Figure 2.41) [311]. [Pg.47]
