- A general combined purification and immobilization method to facilitate biocatalytic process development is presented. The support material, EziG (TM), is based on controlled porosity glass (CPG) or polymer-coated versions thereof (HybCPG) and binds protein affinity tags.

- The bacterial ω-transaminase from Chromobacterium violaceum (Cv-ωTA, EC2.6.1.18) catalyses industrially important transamination reactions by use of the coenzyme pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP). Here, we present four crystal structures of Cv-ωTA: two in the apo form, one in the holo form and one in an intermediate state, at resolutions between 1.35 and 2.4 Å. The enzyme is a homodimer with a molecular mass of ∼ 100 kDa. Each monomer has an active site at the dimeric interface that involves amino acid residues from both subunits. The apo-Cv-ωTA structure reveals unique 'relaxed' conformations of three critical loops involved in structuring the active site that have not previously been seen in a transaminase. Analysis of the four crystal structures reveals major structural rearrangements involving elements of the large and small domains of both monomers that reorganize the active site in the presence of PLP. The conformational change appears to be triggered by binding of the phosphate group of PLP. Furthermore, one of the apo structures shows a disordered 'roof ' over the PLP-binding site, whereas in the other apo form and the holo form the 'roof' is ordered. Comparison with other known transaminase crystal structures suggests that ordering of the 'roof' structure may be associated with substrate binding in Cv-ωTA and some other transaminases.

7.18 C-X Bond Formation : Transaminases as Chiral Catalysts: Mechanism, Engineering, and Applications
- 2012
-
In: Comprehensive Chirality. - : Elsevier. - 9780080951683 ; , s. 390-401
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Enantiomerically pure amines and amino acids are important building blocks in academic research as well as in industrial-scale chemical production. Transaminases are versatile enzymes providing access to such compounds of high enantiomeric excess. This chapter illustrates the available strategies with transaminases such as kinetic resolution or stereoselective synthesis and highlights many successful examples for amino acid and chiral amines synthesis. There are some known challenges linked to the use of transaminases, for example in terms of unfavorable equilibria and inhibition. Several successful examples to overcome these limitations are presented. Also, the classification of transaminases, mechanistic details, and various strategies for optimization are discussed.

Exploring the Active-Site of a Rationally Redesigned Lipase for Catalysis of Michael-Type Additions
- 2005
-
In: ChemBioChem. - : Wiley. - 1439-4227 .- 1439-7633. ; 6, s. 331-336
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Michael-type additions of various thiols and alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds were performed in organic solvent catalyzed by wild-type and a rationally redesigned mutant of Candida antarctica lipase B. The mutant locks the nucleophilic serine 105 in the active-site; this results in a changed catalytic mechanism of the enzyme. The possibility of utilizing this mutant for Michael-type additions was initially explored by quantum-chemical calculations on the reaction between acrolein and methanethiol in a model system. The model system was constructed on the basis of docking and molecular-dynamics simulations and was designed to simulate the catalytic properties of the active site. The catalytic system was explored experimentally with a range of different substrates. The k(cat) values were found to be in the range of 10(-3) to 4 min(-1), similar to the values obtained with aldolase antibodies. The enzyme proficiency was 10(7). Furthermore, the Michael-type reactions followed saturation kinetics and were confirmed to take place in the enzyme active site.

Active Site Quantification of an omega-Transaminase by Performing a Half Transamination Reaction
- 2011
-
In: ACS Catalysis. - : American Chemical Society (ACS). - 2155-5435. ; 1:9, s. 1051-1055
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Measurement of the active enzyme fraction in a given enzyme preparation is a requirement for accurate kinetic measurements and activity comparisons of, for example, engineered mutants. omega-Transaminases, enzymes capable of interconverting ketones and amines by use of pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (PIP), can be used for the production of pharmaceutically important chiral amines but are subject to engineering to meet the practical requirements in synthesis reactions. Therefore, an active site quantification method is needed. Such a method was developed by quantifying the amount of consumed substrate in a virtually irreversible half transamination reaction. (S)-1-phenylethylamine was converted to acetophenone, while the holo enzyme (E-PLP) was converted to apo enzyme with bound pyridoxamine-5'-phosphate (E:PMP). Further, the mass of active enzyme was correlated to the absorbance of the holo enzyme to achieve a direct measurement method. The active Chromobacterium violaceum omega-transaminase with bound PLP can be quantified at 395 nm with an apparent extinction coefficient of 8.1 mM(-1) cm(-1).
