We attempted to alter the substrate preference of aminopeptidase from Streptomyces septatus TH-2 (SSAP). Because Asp198 and Phe221 of SSAP are located in the substrate binding site, we screened 2,000 mutant enzymes with D198X/F221X mutations. By carrying out this examination, we obtained two enzymes; one specifically hydrolyzed an arginyl derivative, and the other specifically hydrolyzed a cystinyl derivative (65- and 12.5-fold higher k(cat) values for hydrolysis of p-nitroanilide derivatives than those of the wild type, respectively).
我们试图改变来自龟裂链霉菌TH-2(SSAP)的氨肽酶的底物偏好性。由于SSAP的Asp198和Phe221位于底物结合位点,我们筛选了2000种具有D198X/F221X突变的突变酶。通过进行这项检测,我们获得了两种酶;一种特异性水解精氨酰衍生物,另一种特异性水解胱氨酰衍生物(对硝基苯胺衍生物水解的k(cat)值分别比野生型高65倍和12.5倍)。
