Crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of the flavoenzyme vanillyl-alcohol oxidase from Penicillium simplicissimum.
Vanillyl-alcohol oxidase catalyses the oxidation of several 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohols by using 8-alpha-(N3-histidyl)-FAD as a covalently bound prosthetic group. Crystals of vanillyl-alcohol oxidase from Penicillium simplicissimum have been grown by using the vapor diffusion technique. The space group was found to be I, with cell dimensions a = b = 140.5 A, c = 132.9 A. Diffraction data have been...
متن کاملInversion of stereospecificity of vanillyl-alcohol oxidase.
Vanillyl-alcohol oxidase (VAO) is the prototype of a newly recognized family of structurally related oxidoreductases sharing a conserved FAD-binding domain. The active site of VAO is formed by a cavity where the enzyme is able to catalyze many reactions with phenolic substrates. Among these reactions is the stereospecific hydroxylation of 4-ethylphenol-forming (R)-1-(4'-hydroxyphenyl)ethanol. D...
متن کاملStructure, function and redesign of vanillyl-alcohol oxidase
Vanillyl-alcohol oxidase (VAO) from Penicillium simplicissimum is an inducible flavoprotein involved in the biodegradation of lignin-derived aromatic compounds. The enzyme is the prototype of a newly recognized family of structurally related oxidoreductases, whose members share a conserved FAD-binding domain. The flavin cofactor in VAO is covalently linked to His422 of the cap domain. This cova...
متن کاملSubcellular localization of vanillyl-alcohol oxidase in Penicillium simplicissimum.
Growth of Penicillium simplicissimum on anisyl alcohol, veratryl alcohol or 4-(methoxymethyl)phenol, is associated with the synthesis of relatively large amounts of the hydrogen peroxide producing flavoprotein vanillyl-alcohol oxidase (VAO). Immunocytochemistry revealed that the enzyme has a dual location namely in peroxisomes and in the cytosol. The C-terminus of the primary structure of VAO d...
متن کاملStructural analysis of flavinylation in vanillyl-alcohol oxidase.
Vanillyl-alcohol oxidase (VAO) is member of a newly recognized flavoprotein family of structurally related oxidoreductases. The enzyme contains a covalently linked FAD cofactor. To study the mechanism of flavinylation we have created a design point mutation (His-61 --> Thr). In the mutant enzyme the covalent His-C8alpha-flavin linkage is not formed, while the enzyme is still able to bind FAD an...
