The chain length specificity of Rhizomucor miehei lipase was altered by substituting Phe94 in the protein groove which is responsible for accommodating the acyl chain of the substrate. Three recombinant enzymes, Phe94Arg, Phe94Glu and Phe94Gln, were expressed in Pichia pastoris, purified and their ability to hydrolyse p-nitrophenyl esters and triacylglycerols of different chain length was studied. 相似文献

The progress of the enzymatic hydrolysis of racemic mixtures of the enantiomers of the methyl esters of serine and threonine was monitored. This was possible in a reaction vessel of 1.5 mL by direct sampling of volumes in the nanoliter‐range directly into an electrophoresis capillary. Contactless conductivity detection was used for quantification as the analytes are not accessible by UV‐detection in capillary electrophoresis. Porcine pancreatic lipase and wheat germ lipase both showed a preference for the L‐enantiomers of both amino acid esters. The selectivity of the porcine lipase between the two L‐esters of the two amino acids was also studied and it was found that the production of L ‐threonine had priority over L ‐serine.

Porcine pancreatic lipase (PPL)-catalyzed enantioselective hydrolysis of N-benzyloxycarbonyl-dl-amino acid esters (Z-dl-AA-ORs) was studied for the optical resolution of a variety of non-protein amino acids. The ester moiety (R) of the substrate affected the rate of hydrolysis significantly. The glyceryl (Gl) and carbamoylmethyl (Cam) esters were found to be highly reactive substrates. The hydrolysis of the Gl esters (Z-dl-AA-OGls) of both aliphatic and aromatic amino acids was examined in acetonitrile containing 70% (v/v) of 0.02 M phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) at 30°C. With all amino acids tested, the corresponding l-enantiomers were hydrolyzed preferentially. PPL favored aromatic amino acids, such as phenylalanine and p-chlorophenylalanine, leading to completion of the hydrolysis within 20 min with excellent enantioselectivities (E>100). The PPL-catalyzed hydrolysis of the corresponding Cam esters (Z-dl-AA-OCams) was also examined under the same reaction conditions. Although the hydrolysis of the Cam esters was rapid, the l-enantioselectivities were rather poor with aromatic amino acids, such as 2-phenylglycine and homophenylalanine. 相似文献

Testosterone-1α-carboxyethyl thioether was conjugated through an ester bond with the fluorescent compound umbelliferone. Testosterone-1α-carboxyethyl thioether umbelliferone conjugate was devoid of fluorescence, but yielded a fluorescent product upon incubation with hog liver esterase or with the IgG fraction of a rabbit antiserum that binds 5α-dihydrotestosterone and testosterone with similar affinity (anti-dihydrotestosterone IgG). The fluorescent compound was obtained in solution after adsorbing the ester to anti-dihydrotestosterone IgG immobilized on agarose, indicating that the appearance of fluorescence was due to hydrolysis and not to formation of a stable ester antibody complex. The antibody-enhanced hydrolysis was pH and temperature dependent and was specific with respect to the nature of the steroid and the site of steroid-umbelliferone conjugation: normal rabbit IgG and IgG directed against heterologous steroids (e.g., cortisol or progesterone) were without effect, and anti-dihydrotestosterone IgG failed to promote the hydrolysis of testosterone-7-umbelliferone or of cortisol-21-umbelliferone esters. Moreover, the hydrolysis of testosterone-1α-carboxyethyl thioether umbelliferone conjugate by anti-dihydrotestosterone IgG was inhibited by the homologous hapten but not by unrelated steroids. Hydrolysis of steroid-umbelliferone conjugates was also promoted in a nonspecific manner by nucleophilic substances such as imidazole, tyrosine or cysteine, suggesting that the antibody effect may be due to the presence of nucleophilic residues at, or near, the combining site. The results indicate that antibody can have enzyme-like properties, but the turnover is low due to slow dissociation of the reaction product from the antibody. The quasi-esterase activity of anti-steroidal antibodies can be utilized for the development of an immunoassay for these hormones. 相似文献

Enzymatic synthesis of terpenyl esters by esterification or transesterification with fatty acid vinyl esters as acyl donors by celite-adsorbed lipase of Trichosporon fermentans was investigated. In direct esterification of geraniol, the lipase showed high reactivity toward fatty acids with carbon chains longer than C-8, but little reactivity toward fatty acids with shorter chains. With fatty acid vinyl esters as acyl donors, the lipase catalysed the synthesis of geranyl and citronellyl esters with carbon chains shorter than C-6 in with yields of >90% molar conversion. Time course, effects of added water, temperature and substrate concentration were studied for the synthesis of geranyl acetate. Molar conversion yield reached 97.5% after 5 h incubation at 30–40°C with the addition of 3% water. In this reaction, no inhibition by substrates such as geraniol and vinyl acetate was observed. 相似文献

Capsaicin was hydrolysed by lipase B from Candida antarctica into vanillylamine and 8-methyl-6-trans-nonenoic acid. Conversions of 70% were obtained after 72 h at 70 °C in water but decreased to only 15% when capsaicin was solubilized in 15% (v/v) ethanol/water after 72 h at 45 °C. No activity occurred in chloroform/water mixtures. According to our knowledge, this is the first report concerning amide hydrolysis by a lipase. 相似文献

Lipase (EC 3.1.1.3) from Candida rugosa was immobilized with DEAE-Sephadex A50, Sephadex G50, Sephadex LH-20, Amberlite IRA94, and Amberlite XAD-7. The enzye immobilized with DEAE-Sephadex A50 was found to be most effective for continuous hydrolysis of olive oil in isooctane. For the continuous reaction, 0.2 g of dry immobilized enzyme was swollen with predetermined amount of water, and packed in a glass column reactor. When the organic solvent (Isooctane) containing olive oil substrate was cocurrently fed with aqueous buffer, the two phases were evenly distributed throughout the packed bed without surfactant supplement or prior mixing of the two phases. A small amount of the surfactant (AOT) was used only in packing procedure, and no additional surfactant was necessary thereafter. Effects of initial water content of the swollen gel, buffer types, and strength were examined in the continuous reaction. Our results suggest that the operational half-life was affected by desorption of the bound enzyme. Under the conditions of 20% olive oil in isooctane and 25 mM triethanolamine buffer (pH 7.0), operational half life was 220 h at 30 degrees C. The reactor was also operable with n-hexane, but the operational stability of the immobilized enzyme in n-hexane was only half of that in isooctane. Our results indicate that various enzyme carrier having hydrophilic or amphiphilic properties could be used for two-phase continuous reaction in packed-bed column, reactor without any surfactant supply or prior dispersion of the two immiscible phases.

Immobilized Candida antarctica lipase B, Novozym® 435, was used in the esterification of adipic acid and alcohols with different chain lengths (C1–C18). Optimum conditions for the synthesis of adipate esters were obtained using response surface methodology (RSM) with respect to important reaction parameters including time, temperature, substrate molar ratio and amount of enzyme. Alcohol chain length specificity of the enzyme in the synthesis of adipate esters was also determined. Minimum reaction time (215 min) for achieving maximum ester yield was obtained for butyl alcohol. Methanol required an increased time (358 min) and enzyme amount (10.2%, w/w) for attaining maximum yield. The maximum required temperature and time of 65°C and 523 min, respectively, were obtained for the synthesis of dioctadecyl adipate. The results demonstrate that alcohol chain length is a determining parameter in optimization of the lipase-catalyzed synthesis of adipate esters. Reactions under optimized conditions yielded a high percentage of esterification (>97%). The optimum conditions can be used to scale up the process. 相似文献

Expanding the scope of stereoselectivity is of current interest in enzyme catalysis. In this study, using error-prone polymerase
chain reaction (PCR), a thermostable adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-glucose pyrophosphorylase (AGPase) from Thermus caldophilus GK-24 has been altered to improve its catalytic activity toward enatiomeric substrates including [glucose-1-phosphate (G-1-P)
+ uridine triphosphate (UTP)] and [N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate (GlcNAc) + UTP] to produce uridine diphosphate (UDP)-glucose and UDP-N-acetylglucosamine, respectively. To elucidate the amino acids responsible for catalytic activity, screening for UDP-glucose
pyrophosphorylase (UGPase) and UDP-N-acetylglucosamine pyrophosphorylase (UNGPase) activities was carried out. Among 656 colonies, two colonies showed UGPase
activities and three colonies for UNGPase activities. DNA sequence analyses and enzyme assays showed that two mutant clones
(H145G) specifically have an UGPase activity, indicating that the changed glycine residue from histidine has the base specificity
for UTP. Also, three double mutants (H145G/A325V) showed a UNGPase, and A325 was associated with sugar binding, conferring
the specificity for the sugar substrates and V325 of the mutant appears to be indirectly involved in the binding of the N-acetylamine group of N-acetylglucosmine-1-phosphate.

We previously identified that four of five putative N-linked glycosylation sites of human endothelial lipase (EL) are utilized and suggested that the substitution of asparagine-116 (Asn-116) with alanine (Ala) (N116A) increased the hydrolytic activity of EL. The current study demonstrates that mutagenesis of either Asn-116 to threonine (Thr) or Thr-118 to Ala also disrupted the glycosylation of EL and enhanced catalytic activity toward synthetic substrates by 3-fold versus wild-type EL. Furthermore, we assessed the hydrolysis of native lipoprotein lipids by EL-N116A. EL-N116A exhibited a 5-fold increase in LDL hydrolysis and a 1.8-fold increase in HDL2 hydrolysis. Consistent with these observations, adenovirus-mediated expression of EL-N116A in mice significantly reduced the levels of both LDL and HDL cholesterol beyond the reductions observed by the expression of wild-type EL alone. Finally, we introduced Asn-116 of EL into the analogous positions within LPL and HL, resulting in N-linked glycosylation at this site. Glycosylation at this site suppressed the LPL hydrolysis of synthetic substrates, LDL, HDL2, and HDL3 but had little effect on HL activity. These data suggest that N-linked glycosylation at Asn-116 reduces the ability of EL to hydrolyze lipids in LDL and HDL2. 相似文献

Hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) contributes importantly to the hydrolysis of cholesteryl ester in steroidogenic tissues, releasing the cholesterol required for adrenal steroidogenesis. HSL has broad substrate specificity, because it hydrolyzes triacylglycerols (TAGs), diacylglycerols, monoacylglycerols, and cholesteryl esters. In this study, we developed a specific cholesterol esterase assay using cholesterol oleate (CO) dispersed in phosphatidylcholine and gum arabic by sonication. To continuously monitor the hydrolysis of CO by HSL, we used the pH-stat technique. For the sake of comparison, the hydrolysis of CO dispersion was also tested using other cholesteryl ester-hydrolyzing enzymes. The specific activities measured on CO were found to be 18, 100, 27, and 3 micromol/min/mg for HSL, cholesterol esterase from Pseudomonas species, Candida rugosa lipase-3, and cholesterol esterase from bovine pancreas, respectively. The activity of HSL on CO is approximately 4- to 5-fold higher than on long-chain TAGs. In contrast, with all other enzymes tested, the rates of TAG hydrolysis were higher than those of CO hydrolysis. The relatively higher turnover of HSL on CO observed in vitro adds further molecular insight on the physiological importance of HSL in cholesteryl ester catabolism in vivo. Thus, HSL could be considered more as a cholesteryl ester hydrolase than as a TAG lipase. 相似文献

Aeromonas caviae R-specific enoyl-coenzyme A (enoyl-CoA) hydratase (PhaJ(Ac)) is capable of providing (R)-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA with a chain length of four to six carbon atoms from the fatty acid beta-oxidation pathway for polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) synthesis. In this study, amino acid substitutions were introduced into PhaJ(Ac) by site-directed mutagenesis to investigate the feasibility of altering the specificity for the acyl chain length of the substrate. A crystallographic structure analysis of PhaJ(Ac) revealed that Ser-62, Leu-65, and Val-130 define the width and depth of the acyl-chain-binding pocket. Accordingly, we targeted these three residues for amino acid substitution. Nine single-mutation enzymes and two double-mutation enzymes were generated, and their hydratase activities were assayed in vitro by using trans-2-octenoyl-CoA (C(8)) as a substrate. Three of these mutant enzymes, L65A, L65G, and V130G, exhibited significantly high activities toward octenoyl-CoA than the wild-type enzyme exhibited. PHA formation from dodecanoate (C(12)) was examined by using the mutated PhaJ(Ac) as a monomer supplier in recombinant Escherichia coli LS5218 harboring a PHA synthase gene from Pseudomonas sp. strain 61-3 (phaC1(Ps)). When L65A, L65G, or V130G was used individually, increased molar fractions of 3-hydroxyoctanoate (C(8)) and 3-hydroxydecanoate (C(10)) units were incorporated into PHA. These results revealed that Leu-65 and Val-130 affect the acyl chain length substrate specificity. Furthermore, comparative kinetic analyses of the wild-type enzyme and the L65A and V130G mutants were performed, and the mechanisms underlying changes in substrate specificity are discussed. 相似文献

The cold-adapted Pseudomonas fragi lipase (PFL) displays highest activity on short-chain triglyceride substrates and is rapidly inactivated at moderate temperature. Sequence and structure comparison with homologous lipases endowed with different substrate specificity and stability, pointed to three polar residues in the lid region, that were replaced with the amino acids conserved at equivalent positions in the reference lipases. Substitutions at residues T137 and T138 modified the lipase chain-length preference profile, increasing the relative activity towards C8 substrates. Moreover, mutations conferred to PFL higher temperature stability. On the other hand, replacement of the serine at position 141 by glycine destabilized the protein. 相似文献

Random mutagenesis is a powerful tool for studying the effects of a large number of permutations of a particular DNA sequence and its encoded products. Here we describe a new strategy of conducting in vitro random mutagenesis using ethyl methane sulfonate (EMS). The Bacillus aprN18 gene, coding for a serine protease with fibrinolytic activity, was used as a target gene. To study the mutations of the coding region, rather than the whole plasmid, the 1.4 kb gene fragment was cut out from an expression plasmid and treated with 10 mM EMS at 37 degrees C for 1 h. The treated fragment was then ligated back into the original expression vector and a library of random mutants was constructed in a protease-deficient Bacillus subtilis strain. A plate assay-based screening method was used to select for mutant clones with altered enzyme activity, and the change of activity was then confirmed by a semi-quantitative enzyme assay using liquid culture supernatant. The inserts of five clones with altered enzyme activity were randomly chosen for sequencing analysis. Among the point mutations detected, GC --> AT transition accounts for 42.1%, AT --> GC transition 34.2% and GC/CG transversion 23.7%, respectively. To our knowledge this is the first application of EMS for in vitro mutagenesis of a defined DNA sequence. 相似文献

Natural astaxanthin is widely used as a food and cosmetics additive because of its multiple biological activities. However, astaxanthin produced by Haematococcus pluvialis is generally esterified, and its activity is far less than that of free astaxanthin. Hydrolysis of astaxanthin esters to free astaxanthin by enzymes can overcome the drawbacks of chemical saponification methods. In this paper, a slug-flow microchannel reactor was constructed and tested in enzymatic hydrolysis of astaxanthin esters. The reactor consists of a “T” slug-flow generator, a stainless-steel microchannel, two constant-flow pumps, and a temperature controller. The reactor has the advantages of simple configuration and easy scale-up, and is suitable for two-phase biochemical reactions. Using the microchannel reactor, astaxanthin esters in H. pluvialis oil were efficiently hydrolyzed to free astaxanthin by lipase from Aspergillus niger. After hydrolysis, the content of free astaxanthin in H. pluvialis oil was 18.8 mg/L, 7.83-times higher than that before hydrolysis (2.13 mg/L). The hydrolysis rate reached 75.4 %. These results indicate that the microchannel reactor can be useful for the production of free astaxanthin from its esters. 相似文献

Thirteen commercial lipases in hexane and seventeen bacterial cell suspensions in aqueous media were screened for the production of ethyl valerate and ethyl butyrate. The highest esterifying activity was obtained with commercial Pancrealipase (Biozymes Inc.) and Candida rugosa lipase (Amano Enzyme Ltd) and with bacterial cell suspension from Pseudomonas fragi CRDA 446. Commercial enzymes gave molar conversion yield of 68% over 24 h as compared to 17% with whole cells in aqueous medium. However, a comparison of both sources of biocatalyst i.e. whole microbial cells and commercial lipases, based on the amount of ester produced per g of protein for a complete reaction, indicated similar activities. © Rapid Science Ltd. 1998 相似文献
