The contribution of disulfide bridges to the thermostability a type A feruloyl esterase (AuFaeA) from Aspergillus usamii E001 was studied by introducing an extra bridge or eliminating native one enzyme. MODIP and DbD, two computational tools that can predict possible in proteins for improvement, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were used design bridge. One residue pair A126-N152 chosen, respective amino acid residues mutated cysteine. wild-type AuFaeA its variants expressed Pichia...

The AuMan5A, an acidophilic glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 5 β-mannanase derived from Aspergillus usamii YL-01-78, consists of only catalytic domain (CD). To perfect enzymatic properties the a 1 carbohydrate-binding module (CBM) Trichoderma reesei cellobiohydrolase I (TrCBH I), having lowest binding free energy with cellobiose, was selected by in silico design, and fused into its C-terminus forming fusion β-mannanase, designated as AuMan5A-CBM. Then, encoding gene, Auman5A-cbm, constructed...

A cDNA fragment of the Anman5A, a gene that encodes an acidophilic β-mannanase Aspergillus niger LW-1 (abbreviated as AnMan5A), was cloned and functionally expressed in Pichia pastoris . Homology alignment amino acid sequences verified AnMan5A belongs to glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 5. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) assay demonstrated recombinant (reAnMan5A), N-glycosylated protein with apparent molecular weight 52.0 kDa, secreted into medium. The...

To provide more options for the stereoselective hydrolysis of epoxides, an epoxide hydrolase (VrEH3) gene from Vigna radiata was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. Recombinant VrEH3 displayed maximum activity at pH 7.0 45 °C high stability 4.5-7.5 55 °C. Notably, reVrEH3 exhibited complementary regioselectivity toward styrene oxides 1a-3a enantioselectivity (E = 48.7) o-cresyl glycidyl ether 9a. elucidate these interesting phenomena, interactions three-dimensional structure between...

Structure-guided microtuning of an Aspergillus usamii epoxide hydrolase was executed. One mutant, A214C/A250I, displayed a 12.6-fold enhanced enantiomeric ratio (E = 202) toward rac-styrene oxide, achieving its nearly perfect kinetic resolution at 0.8 M in pure water or 1.6 n-hexanol/water. Several other beneficial mutants also significantly improved E values, offering promising biocatalysts to access 19 structurally diverse chiral monosubstituted epoxides (97.1 – ≥ 99% ees) and vicinal...
