STRUCTURE OF THE OCTAMERIC FLAVOENZYME VANILLYL-ALCOHOL OXIDASE: ILE238THR MUTANT
OverviewOverview
The flavoenzyme vanillyl-alcohol oxidase was subjected to random, mutagenesis to generate mutants with enhanced reactivity to creosol, (2-methoxy-4-methylphenol). The vanillyl-alcohol oxidase-mediated, conversion of creosol proceeds via a two-step process in which the, initially formed vanillyl alcohol (4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl alcohol) is, oxidized to the widely used flavor compound vanillin, (4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde). The first step of this reaction is, extremely slow due to the formation of a covalent FAD N-5-creosol adduct., After a single round of error-prone PCR, seven mutants were generated with, increased reactivity to creosol. The single-point mutants I238T, F454Y, E502G, and T505S showed an up to 40-fold increase in catalytic efficiency, (kcat/Km) with creosol compared ... [(full description)]
