Abstract Objective To change the specificity of a glutaryl-7-aminocephalosporanic acid acylase (GCA) towards N-acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs; quorum sensing signalling molecules) by site-directed mutagenesis. Results Seven residues were identified by analysis of existing crystal structures as potential determinants of substrate specificity. Site-saturation mutagenesis libraries were created for each of the seven selected positions. High-throughput activity screening of each library identified two variants—Arg255Ala, Arg255Gly—with new activities towards N-acyl homoserine lactone substrates. Structural modelling of the Arg255Gly mutation suggests that the smaller side-chain of glycine (as compared to arginine in the wild-type enzyme) avoids a key clash with the acyl group of the N-acyl homoserine lactone substrate. Conclusions Mutation of a single amino acid residue successfully converted a GCA (with no detectable activity against AHLs) into an AHL acylase. This approach may be useful for further engineering of ‘quorum quenching’ enzymes.
