Development of new laccases by directed evolution: functional and computational analyses

Proteins
Giovanna FestaGiovanni Sannia

Abstract

Laccases are blue multicopper oxidases that couple the four-electron reduction of oxygen with the oxidation of a broad range of aromatic substrates. These fungal enzymes can be used for many applications such as bleaching, organic synthesis, bioremediation, and in laundry detergents. Laccases from Pleurotus ostreatus have been successfully heterologously expressed in yeasts. The availability of established recombinant expression systems has allowed the construction of mutated, "better performing" enzymes through molecular evolution techniques. In the present work, random mutagenesis experiments on poxc and poxa1b cDNAs, using error prone PCR (EP-PCR) have been performed. By screening a library of 1100 clones the mutant 1M9B was selected, it shows a single mutation (L112F) leading to an enzyme more active but less stable with respect to the wild-type enzyme (POXA1b) in all the analyzed conditions. This mutant has been used as a template for a second round of EP-PCR. From this second generation library of 1200 clones, three mutants have been selected. Properties of the four mutants, 1M9B screened from the first library, and 1L2B, 1M10B, and 3M7C from the second library, were analyzed. The better performing mutant 3M7C presents, b...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
