The specificity of a Bacillus licheniformis uridine diphosphate (UDP) glycosyltransferase, YjiC, was increased towards thymidine diphosphate (TDP)-sugar by site-directed mutagenesis. The Arg-282 of YjiC was identified and investigated by substituting with Trp. Conversion rate and kinetic parameters were compared between YjiC and its variants with several acceptor substrates such as 7-hydroxyflavone (7-HF), 4',7-dihydroxyisoflavone, 7,8-dihydroxyflavone and curcumin. Molecular docking of TDP-glucose and 7-HF with YjiC model showed -alkyl interaction with Arg-282 and His-14, and - interaction with His and thymine ring. YjiC (H14A) variant lost its glucosylation activity with TDP-glucose validating significance of His-14 in binding of TDP-sugars.
通过定点诱变,地衣芽孢杆菌尿苷二磷酸(UDP)糖基转移酶YjiC对胸苷二磷酸(TDP)-糖的特异性得以提高。通过用色氨酸替代,对YjiC的精氨酸-282进行了鉴定和研究。比较了YjiC及其变体与几种受体底物(如7-羟基黄酮(7-HF)、4',7-二羟基异黄酮、7,8-二羟基黄酮和姜黄素)之间的转化率和动力学参数。TDP-葡萄糖和7-HF与YjiC模型的分子对接显示,与精氨酸-282和组氨酸-14存在烷基相互作用,与组氨酸和胸腺嘧啶环存在相互作用。YjiC(H14A)变体失去了对TDP-葡萄糖的糖基化活性,这证实了组氨酸-14在TDP-糖结合中的重要性。
