Application

Chloramphenicol acetyltransferase from Escherichia coli has been used in a study to assess the construction of a novel expression system in Klebsiella pneumoniae and its application for 1,3-propanediol production. Chloramphenicol acetyltransferase from Escherichia coli has also been used in a study to investigate site-directed mutagenesis and promoter functional analysis of the RM07 DNA fragment from Halobacterium halobium.
The enzyme has been used in chloramphenicol acetyltransferase assay to optimize the transfection of plasmid DNA into primary cultures of adult mouse keratinocytes. It has also been used to assess the acetyl-CoA carboxylase-carboxyltransferase (ACC-CT) domain activity. This has been done using a coupled-two phase system measuring the selective partition of [14C]acetylchloramphenicol into an organic layer.

Biochem/physiol Actions

The enzyme responsible for chloramphenicol resistance in bacteria. Catalyzes the conversion of acetyl-CoA + chloramphenicol to CoA + chloramphenicol 3-acetate.

Physical form

Clear, colorless solution in 50% glycerol containing 5 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.8, and 0.5 mM 2-mercaptoethanol

Other Notes

One unit will convert 1.0 nanomole of chloramphenicol and acetyl-CoA to chloramphenicol 3-acetate and CoA per min at pH 7.8 at 25 °C.
