چکیده

Biotechnology applications of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) would benefit from access to tailor-made variants with greater specific activity, lower K(m) for peroxide, and higher thermostability. Starting with a mutant that is functionally expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we used random mutagenesis, recombination, and screening to identify HRP-C mutants that are more active and stable to incubation in hydrogen peroxide at 50 degrees C. A single mutation (N175S) in the HRP active site was found to improve thermal stability. Introducing this mutation into an HRP variant evolved for higher activity yielded HRP 13A7-N175S, whose half-life at 60 degrees C and pH 7.0 is three times that of wild-type (recombinant) HRP and a commercially available HRP preparation from Sigma (St. Louis, MO). The variant is also more stable in the presence of H(2)O(2), SDS, salts (NaCl and urea), and at different pH values. Furthermore, this variant is more active towards a variety of small organic substrates frequently used in diagnostic applications. Site-directed mutagenesis to replace each of the four methionine residues in HRP (M83, M181, M281, M284) with isoleucine revealed no mutation that significantly increased the enzyme's stability to hydrogen peroxide.

Functional expression of horseradish peroxidase in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Pichia pastoris.

The ability to engineer proteins by directed evolution requires functional expression of the target polypeptide in a recombinant host suitable for construction and screening libraries of enzyme variants. Bacteria and yeast are preferred, but eukaryotic proteins often fail to express in active form in these cells. We have attempted to resolve this problem by identifying mutations in the target g...

Structurally engineered cytochromes with unusual ligand-binding properties: expression of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Met-80-->Ala iso-1-cytochrome c.

A strategy has been developed to express and purify a recombinant, nonfunctional axial-ligand mutant of iso-1-cytochrome c (Met-80-->Ala) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae in quantities necessary for extensive biophysical characterization. It involves coexpressing in the same plasmid (YEp213) the nonfunctional gene with a functional gene copy for complementation in a selective medium. The functional ...

Isolation, Subtype Determination, Cloning and Expression of HBsAg Gene from an Iranian Carrier in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

The Hepatitis B Surface antigen ( HBsAg) gene was isolated from an Iranian HBeAg positive carrier by PCR. The gene was cloned in pUC19 for sequencing and pYES2 for expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which pNF1 and pDF3 constructs were made respectively. The sequencing data showed that the isolated HBsAg gene shared more than 90% homology with the ayw subtype. The pDF3 was transferred into ...
