چکیده

Penicillin G acylase (PGA) is a heterodimeric enzyme synthesized as a single-polypeptide precursor that undergoes an autocatalytic processing to remove an internal spacer peptide to produce the active enzyme. We constructed a single-chain PGA not dependent on autoproteolytic processing. The mature sequence of the beta-domain was expressed as the N terminus of a new polypeptide, connected by a random tetra-peptide to the alpha-domain, to afford a permuted protein. We found several active enzymes among variants differing in their linker peptides. Protein expression analysis showed that the functional single-chain variants were produced when using a Sec-dependent leader peptide, or when expressed inside the bacterial cytoplasm. Active-site titration experiments showed that the single-chain proteins displayed similar k(cat) values to the ones obtained with the wild-type enzyme. Interestingly, the single-chain proteins also displayed close to 100% of functional active sites compared to 40% to 70% functional yield usually obtained with the heterodimeric protein.

Isolation 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...

Recombinant production of the antibody fragment D1.3 scFv with different Bacillus strains

BACKGROUND Different strains of the genus Bacillus are versatile candidates for the industrial production and secretion of heterologous proteins. They can be cultivated quite easily, show high growth rates and are usually non-pathogenic and free of endo- and exotoxins. They have the ability to secrete proteins with high efficiency into the growth medium, which allows cost-effective downstream p...
