Overproduction of homoserine O-acetyltransferase (CaMet2p) native and His-tag versions.

Enzyme of fungal L-methionine biosynthetic pathway: homoserine O-acetyltransferase (Met2p) could be exploited as molecular target for antifungal chemotherapy. The goal of the study was to obtain conditions optimal for protein production with the use of prokaryotic cells. The constructed expression plasmids, designed in three different versions: encoding a native protein CaMet2p or recombinants with oligo-His tags added either at the C- (CaMet2CHp) or N-end (CaMet2NHp) were used for overexpression of the cloned genes in a IPTG inducible Tabor-Studier system.
This dataset contains the description of methodology, used E. coli cells, overproduction conditions and two image files with the results of SDS-PAGE analysis of CaMet2p, CaMet2NHp and CaMet2CHp overproduction in E. coli cells.
The studies were financially supported from the project OPUS 20 financed by the National Science Centre (No. UMO-2020/39/B/NZ7/01519).
