1. You were trying to produce a hydrophilic protein from E coli, but the protein you produced is inactive (misfolded) due to a disulfide bond formed between two cysteine residues that are not found in the native form. Your professor suggests you to co-express this protein with a folding assistant enzyme to improve its activity.

(a) Which enzyme is it? (0.4 pt)

(b) What are the functions of this enzyme? Please describe two aspects and indicate which sub-form execute which aspect of the function. (0.6 pt)

“Lactose repressor protein (LacI) utilizes an allosteric mechanism to regulate transcription in E. coli, and the transition between inducer- and operator-bound states has been simulated by targeted molecular dynamics (TMD). The side chains of amino acids 149 and 193 interact and were predicted by TMD simulation to play a critical role in the early stages of the LacI conformational change. D149 contacts IPTG directly, and variations at this site provide the opportunity to dissect its role in inducer binding and...
