  • Title: Increasing the catalytic performance of a whole cell biocatalyst harboring a cytochrome p450cam system by stabilization of an electron transfer component.
    Author: Mouri T, Kamiya N, Goto M.
    Journal: Biotechnol Lett; 2006 Sep; 28(18):1509-13. PubMed ID: 16955357.
    Abstract:
    Catalytic activity of a recombinant Escherichia coli whole cell biocatalyst harboring a cytochrome P450cam monooxygenase system from Pseudomonas putida coupled with enzymatic co-factor regeneration was investigated. About 0.7 micromol camphor was hydroxylated per mg dry cells at 4 degrees C in 50 mM Tris/HCl buffer (pH 7.4) when utilizing a stable putidaredoxin (Pdx) mutant, C73S/C85S-Pdx (Cys73Ser, Cys85Ser double mutant), instead of wild-type Pdx, which was about two-fold improvement in the substrate conversion. Ten-micromole camphor was completely hydroxylated at 20 degrees C in 6 h by 15 mg dry cell weight of whole cell biocatalyst including C73S/C85S-Pdx. Thus, modulation of protein-protein interaction in multicomponent enzymatic catalysis in whole cells is important.
