Bacillus circulans strain 251 loop mutant 183-195

Overview

Cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (CGTase) catalyzes the formation of, cyclodextrins from starch. Among the CGTases with known three-dimensional, structure, Thermoanaerobacterium thermosulfurigenes CGTase has the highest, thermostability. By replacing amino acid residues in the B-domain of, Bacillus circulans CGTase with those from T. thermosulfurigenes CGTase, we, identified a B. circulans CGTase mutant (with N188D and K192R mutations), with a strongly increased activity half-life at 60 degrees C. Asp188 and, Arg192 form a salt bridge in T. thermosulfurigenes CGTase. Structural, analysis of the B. circulans CGTase mutant revealed that this salt bridge, is also formed in the mutant. Thus, the activity half-life of this enzyme, can be enhanced by rational protein engineering.
