Altering the substrate specificity of cephalosporin acylase by directed evolution of the Beta -subunit.

چکیده
Using directed evolution, we have selected an adipyl acylase enzyme that can be used for a one-step bioconversion of adipyl-7-aminodesacetoxycephalosporanic acid (adipyl-7-ADCA) to 7-ADCA, an important compound for the synthesis of semisynthetic cephalosporins. The starting point for the directed evolution was the glutaryl acylase from Pseudomonas SY-77. The gene fragment encoding the beta-subunit was divided into five overlapping parts that were mutagenized separately using error-prone PCR. Mutants were selected in a leucine-deficient host using adipyl-leucine as the sole leucine source. In total, 24 out of 41 plate-selected mutants were found to have a significantly improved ratio of adipyl-7-ADCA versus glutaryl-7-ACA hydrolysis. Several mutations around the substrate-binding site were isolated, especially in two hot spot positions: residues Phe-375 and Asn-266. Five mutants were further characterized by determination of their Michaelis-Menten parameters. Strikingly, mutant SY-77(N266H) shows a nearly 10-fold improved catalytic efficiency (k(cat)/K(m)) on adipyl-7-ADCA, resulting from a 50% increase in k(cat) and a 6-fold decrease in K(m), without decreasing the catalytic efficiency on glutaryl-7-ACA. In contrast, the improved adipyl/glutaryl activity ratio of mutant SY-77(F375L) mainly is a consequence of a decreased catalytic efficiency toward glutaryl-7-ACA. These results are discussed in the light of a structural model of SY-77 glutaryl acylase.

Crystal structure of penicillin G acylase from the Bro1 mutant strain of Providencia rettgeri.
Penicillin G acylase is an important enzyme in the commercial production of semisynthetic penicillins used to combat bacterial infections. Mutant strains of Providencia rettgeri were generated from wild-type cultures subjected to nutritional selective pressure. One such mutant, Bro1, was able to use 6-bromohexanamide as its sole nitrogen source. Penicillin acylase from the Bro1 strain exhibited...
متن کاملMutational analysis of a key residue in the substrate specificity of a cephalosporin acylase.
beta-Lactam acylases are crucial for the synthesis of semisynthetic cephalosporins and penicillins. Unfortunately, there are no cephalosporin acylases known that can efficiently hydrolyse the amino-adipic side chain of Cephalosporin C. In a previous directed evolution experiment, residue Asn266 of the glutaryl acylase from Pseudomonas SY-77 was identified as being important for substrate specif...

Background and Objective: Cephalosporin acylases (CA) are highly specialized peptidases that are able to break down the amide bond between the lactam nucleus and lateral chain without destruction of beta-lactam ring. This enzyme transmutes the cephalosporin C to 7-ACA. The 7-ACA is an important intermediate in synthesizing the semi-synthetic cephalosporin in pharmaceutical industries. The purpo...
متن کاملAnalysis of a substrate specificity switch residue of cephalosporin acylase.
Residue Phe375 of cephalosporin acylase has been identified as one of the residues that is involved in substrate specificity. A complete mutational analysis was performed by substituting Phe375 with the 19 other amino acids and characterising all purified mutant enzymes. Several mutations cause a substrate specificity shift from the preferred substrate of the enzyme, glutaryl-7-ACA, towards the...
