Random Mutagenesis of Ketol-acid Reductoisomerase for Switching its Cofactor Preference

조효소 친화도 전환을 위한 케토산 리덕토아이소머레이즈의 랜덤돌연변이 라이브러리 구축 및 분리

초록/요약

In this study, random mutagenesis of β2αβ-loop region (36 base pair) responsible for NADPH affinity were applied to switch the cofactor preference from NADPH to NADH with a model protein, ketol-acid reductoisomerase (IlvC). For the convenient screening of the mutants with high affinity to NADH, mutated IlvC was overexpressed in the E. coli membrane using pATLIC system. After the initial screening, 42 of E. coli mutants were obtained from the library and 14 mutatednts were further screened by in vitro reaction with the crude enzyems. Then, 2 mutants named as IlvC_IS11 and IlvC_IS12 with the highest affinity to NADH were finally selected. For the kinetic study, 2 mutants were overexpressed in pET expression system and purified using Ni2+-NTA chromatography. In results, kinetic parameters indicated that 1) the cofactor preference of two mutants was switched from NADPH to NADH and 2) catalytic efficiency of two mutants for NADH significantly increased up to 290% in comparison with IlvC wild type. Furthermore, stuctural analysis by computational modeling showed that amino acids alternation in position of Arg68, Arg76, and Ser78 of the flexible loop region is a vital role on swiching the cofactor preference. In conclusion, this study suggests that random mutagenesis of specific region of enzyme can be an alternative way to switch the confactor preference.
