CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF PENICILLIN G ACYLASE FROM THE BRO1 MUTANT STRAIN OF PROVIDENCIA RETTGERI
Overview
Penicillin G acylase is an important enzyme in the commercial production, of semisynthetic penicillins used to combat bacterial infections. Mutant, strains of Providencia rettgeri were generated from wild-type cultures, subjected to nutritional selective pressure. One such mutant, Bro1, was, able to use 6-bromohexanamide as its sole nitrogen source. Penicillin, acylase from the Bro1 strain exhibited an altered substrate specificity, consistent with the ability of the mutant to process 6-bromohexanamide., The X-ray structure determination of this enzyme was undertaken to, understand its altered specificity and to help in the design of, site-directed mutants with desired specificities. In this paper, the, structure of the Bro1 penicillin G acylase has been solved at 2.5 A, resolution by ... [(full description)]
