Alteration of Substrate Specificity and Optimum pH of Sarcosine Oxidase by Random and Site-Directed Mutagenesis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The sarcosine oxidase gene was randomly mutated, and F103V, which showed altered specificity, was screened with the plate assay. Five different mutants at position 103 were also constructed. Each mutant exhibited a rather striking change in substrate specificity, except for F103W. The optimum pH was also shifted, depending on the substrate.

Alteration of L-proline oxidase activity of sarcosine oxidase and a structural interpretation
Sarcosine oxidase (EC 1.5.3.1; sarcosine:oxygen oxidoreductase [demethylating]) is a flavoprotein that catalyses the oxidative demethylation of sarcosine to yield glycine, formaldehydethe, and hydrogen peroxide. This enzyme is involved in the bacterial metabolism of creatinine with the related enzymes, creatininase and creatinase. It is industrially important and is used with creatininase and c...

Site-directed mutagenesis (SDM) as a powerful technique was used to change two important and conserved amino acids in 5-enolpyruvylshikimate 3- phosphate synthase (EPSPS) gene of E. coli. The mutations changed glycine 96 to alanine and alanine 183 to threonine. These two amino acids are very important for intraction of the wide spectrum herbicide, glyphosate, to EPSP synthase enzymes. By design...

Thermostable chitinases are useful for industrial and biotechnological applications. This paper reports the stabilization of chitinase from Serratia marcescens B4A through rational mutagenesis. Changing of Ser 390 to Ile in S. marcescens. The stabilization was enhanced through entropic stabilization by reduction of the loop length and also by increasing of the beta chain length. With this repla...
متن کاملActive site analysis and stabilization of sarcosine oxidase by the substitution of cysteine residues.
Two cysteine residues (C-265 and C-318) in the putative hydrophilic regions of sarcosine oxidase were substituted by using site-directed mutagenesis. Since the mutant with the C-to-S mutation at position 318 (C318S) lost the enzyme activity, C-318 (conserved among sarcosine oxidases) is most likely a part of the active site. C265S, C265A, C265D, and C265R showed nearly the same enzymatic proper...
متن کاملSite Directed Mutagenesis of Amino Acid Residues at the Active Site of Mouse Aldehyde Oxidase AOX1
Mouse aldehyde oxidase (mAOX1) forms a homodimer and belongs to the xanthine oxidase family of molybdoenzymes which are characterized by an essential equatorial sulfur ligand coordinated to the molybdenum atom. In general, mammalian AOs are characterized by broad substrate specificity and an yet obscure physiological function. To define the physiological substrates and the enzymatic characteris...
