Hi Lorie,
It is because this idiomatic expression takes the preposition 'de' before the second verb which is in the infinitive like a lot of expressions in French.
N'en plus pouvoir de faire quelque chose = To feel sick and tired of doing something
( lit. not to be able to do something any longer )
I hope this helps!
