Three is not a crowd : Coexpression of the chaperonins GroEL/GroES with the α ‐1,6‐fucosyltransferase from Rhizobium sp. allows a 10‐fold increase in production of soluble and active fucosyltransferase. The His‐tagged fucosyltransferase can be purified and immobilized on Ni 2+ ‐IDA‐agarose gel in only one step (see Scheme). The immobilization leads to an important stabilization of the recombinant enzyme, which allows the preparation of a robust biocatalyst for the synthesis of oligosaccharides.
