inversion of enantioselectivity toward KDO and the second generation variant contains an additional amino acid change Val251Ile outside the alpha,beta-barrel active site that improves the enantiomeric formation of L-sialic acid and L-KDO. The X-ray structure of the triple mutant epNanA.2.5 at 2.3A resolution showed no significant difference between the wild-type and the mutant enzymes. We probed the potential
扩大底物特异性和立体选择性的范围是目前酶催化中的关注点。使用易于出错的PCR进行体外定向进化,已改变了大肠杆菌的Neu5Ac醛缩酶,以提高其对对映体底物(包括N-乙酰基-L-甘露糖胺和L-阿拉伯糖)的催化活性,从而产生L-唾液酸和L-KDO ,是相应的天然D糖的镜像糖。第一代变异体在(alpha,beta)(8)桶活性位点以外包含两个突变(Tyr98His和Phe115Leu),表现出对KDO的对映选择性反转,第二代变异体在alpha,beta外部包含一个额外的氨基酸变化Val251Ile -桶状活性位点,可改善L-唾液酸和L-KDO的对映体形成。在2.3A分辨率下,三重突变epNanA.2.5的X射线结构显示野生型和突变酶之间无显着差异。我们在Val251(最靠近席夫碱形成Lys165的突变残基)处的饱和诱变下,探索了对映选择性的潜在结构“热点”。所选变体通过替换为另一个疏水残基亮氨酸而
