ABSTRACTA triple-site variant (W17Q N90A L129F) of mannose-6-phosphate isomerase fromGeobacillus thermodenitrificanswas obtained by combining variants with residue substitutions at different positions after random and site-directed mutagenesis. The specific activity and catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km) forl-ribulose isomerization of this variant were 3.1- and 7.1-fold higher, respectively, than those of the wild-type enzyme at pH 7.0 and 70°C in the presence of 1 mM Co2+. The triple-site variant produced 213 g/literl-ribose from 300 g/literl-ribulose for 60 min, with a volumetric productivity of 213 g liter−1h−1, which was 4.5-fold higher than that of the wild-type enzyme. Thekcat/Kmand productivity of the triple-site variant were approximately 2-fold higher than those of theThermus thermophilusR142N variant of mannose-6-phosphate isomerase, which exhibited the highest values previously reported.

ABSTRACT xlnE, encoding gentisate 1,2-dioxygenase (EC 1.13.11.4), from Pseudomonas alcaligenes (P25X) was mutagenized by site-directed mutagenesis. The mutant enzyme, Y181F, demonstrated 4-, 3-, 6-, and 16-fold increases in relative activity towards gentisate and 3-fluoro-, 4-methyl-, and 3-methylgentisate, respectively. The specific mutation conferred a 13-fold higher catalytic efficiency (k cat/Km ) on Y181F towards 3-methylgentisate than that of the wild-type enzyme.

The Stability

ABSTRACTSite-directed mutagenesis of CphA indicated that prolines in the P158-P172 loop are essential for the stability and the catalytic activity of subclass B2 metallo-β-lactamases against carbapenems. The sequential substitution of proline led to a decrease of the catalytic efficiency of the variant compared to the wild-type (WT) enzyme but also to a higher affinity for the binding of the second zinc ion.
