K217A VARIANT OF KLEBSIELLA AEROGENES UREASE, CHEMICALLY RESCUED BY FORMATE AND NICKEL
Overview
Klebsiella aerogenes urease possesses a dinuclear metallocenter in which, two nickel atoms are bridged by carbamylated Lys217. To assess whether, carbamate-specific chemistry is required for urease activity, site-directed mutagenesis and chemical rescue strategies were combined in, efforts to place a carboxylate group at the location of this metal ligand., Urease variants with Lys217 replaced by Glu, Cys, and Ala (K217E, K217C/C319A, and K217A proteins) were purified, shown to be activated by, incubation with small organic acids plus Ni(II), and structurally, characterized. K217C/C319A urease possessed a second change in which, Cys319 was replaced by Ala in order to facilitate efforts to chemically, modify Cys217; however, this covalent modification approach did not, produce active ...
