A novel penicillin acylase from the environmental gene pool with improved synthetic properties
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new penicillin acylase was isolated by cloning and functional screening of DNA isolated from a sand soil enrichment culture. Sequence analysis of this enzyme, PAS2, revealed homology to a group of prominent penicillin G acylases, including the intensively studied enzyme of Escherichia coli ATCC 11105. Accordingly, PAS2 was found to be an Ntn-hydrolase with an N-terminal serine as the catalytic nucleophile, located on its 61.9 kDa -subunit. The -subunit was shown to have a molecular mass of 25.5 kDa.To evaluate the biocatalytic performance o i d P t w ©

Optimization of Enzymatic Synthesis of Ampicillin Using Cross-Linked Aggregates of Penicillin G Acylase
Penicillin G acylase from E. coli TA1 was immobilized by Cross-Linked Enzyme Aggregates (CLEA), a new method for immobilization. This biocatalyst and commercial immobilized penicillin G acylase (PGA-450) were used to study the effect of pH, temperature and substrate concentration on the synthesis of ampicillin from phenyl glycine methyl ester (PGME) and 6-aminopenicillanic acid (6-APA). Compare...

متن کاملIsolation of a Penicillin Acylase Producing E.coli and Kinetic Characterization of the Whole Cell Enzyme Activity
Penicillin acylase (EC 3.5.1.11) has been a target of study for a long time because of its pivotal role in the deacylation of the penicillin into the 6- aminopenicillanic acid (6-APA) and the side-chain organic acids. This property of penicillin acylase has been exploited commercially for large scale production of 6-APA, which is the key intermediate in the manufacture of semi-synthetic penicil...
متن کاملEngineering the substrate specificity of a thermophilic penicillin acylase from thermus thermophilus.
A homologue of the Escherichia coli penicillin acylase is encoded in the genomes of several thermophiles, including in different Thermus thermophilus strains. Although the natural substrate of this enzyme is not known, this acylase shows a marked preference for penicillin K over penicillin G. Three-dimensional models were created in which the catalytic residues and the substrate binding pocket ...
متن کاملMutation of Residue βF71 of Escherichia coli Penicillin Acylase Results in Enhanced Enantioselectivity and Improved Catalytic Properties
Residue phenylalanine 71 of the β-chain of penicillin acylase from E. coli is involved in substrate binding and chiral discrimination of its enantiomers. Different amino acid residues have been introduced at position βF71, and the mutants were studied with respect to their enantioselectivity and substrate specificity. Some mutants demonstrated remarkably improved catalytic activity. Moreover, m...
