Protein Isoaspartate Methyltransferase Is a Multicopy Suppressor of Protein Aggregation in Escherichia coli by Kern, Renee

“…Overexpression of PIMT reduces the amount of preS2-S′-β-galactosidase found in inclusion bodies at 43°C and increases its amount in soluble fractions. It reduces the level of isoaspartate formation in preS2-S′-β-galactosidase and increases its thermal stability in E. coli crude extracts without increasing the thermostability of a control protein, citrate synthase, in the same extracts. …”
