Recombinant D-amino Acid Oxidase with Improved Properties
D-amino acid oxidase from Trigonopsis variabilis (TvDAAO) was overproduced in Escherichia coli cells, and properties of the recombinant enzyme were studied. Single point mutants of the enzyme with 2.4-fold higher thermal stability or changed spectra of substrate specificity compared with wild-type enzyme were prepared. It was shown that mutant TvDAAO has higher catalytic efficiency in cephalosp...
متن کاملEffect of amino acid substitutions on the catalytic and regulatory properties of aspartate transcarbamoylase.
Although intensive investigations have been conducted on the allosteric enzyme, aspartate transcarbamoylase, which catalyzes the first committed reaction in the biosynthesis of pyrimidines in Escherichia coli, little is known about the role of individual amino acid residues in catalysis or regulation. Two inactive enzymes produced by random mutagenesis have been characterized previously but the...
متن کاملStudy of the Structure-Function-Stability Relationships in Yeast D-amino Acid Oxidase: Hydrophobization of Alpha-Helices
Hydrophobization of alpha-helices is one of the general approaches used for improving the thermal stability of enzymes. A total of 11 serine residues located in alpha-helices have been found based on multiple alignments of the amino acid sequences of D-amino acid oxidases from different organisms and the analysis of the 3D-structure of D-amino acid oxidase from yeast Trigonopsis variabilis (TvD...
متن کاملA Highly Stable D-Amino Acid Oxidase of the Thermophilic Bacterium Rubrobacter xylanophilus.
d-Amino acid oxidase (DAO) is a biotechnologically attractive enzyme that can be used in a variety of applications, but its utility is limited by its relatively poor stability. A search of a bacterial genome database revealed a gene encoding a protein homologous to DAO in the thermophilic bacterium Rubrobacter xylanophilus (RxDAO). The recombinant protein expressed in Escherichia coli was a mon...
متن کاملInvolvement of D-amino acid oxidase in elimination of free D-amino acids in mice.
The physiological role of D-amino acid oxidase was investigated by using mutant ddY/DAO- mice lacking the enzyme. Free D-amino acid concentrations in the mutant mice were significantly higher than those of control ddY/DAO+ mice in kidney, liver, lung, heart, brain, erythrocytes, serum and urine. The results suggest that the enzyme is involved in the catabolism of free D-amino acids in the body,...
