expression of wild-type and mutant Cop4 in Escherichia coli strain JM109 Coprinopsis cinerea

Protein Variants

Protein Variants Comment Organism
H235P site-directed mutagenesis, the mutation converts Cop4 into a much more selective enzyme that produces (-)-germacrene D as the major cyclization product with 50% of total sesquiterpenes products. The mutant makes beta-ylangene, which is a diastereomer of beta-copaene and not synthesized by wild-type Cop4 Coprinopsis cinerea
K233I site-directed mutagenesis, the mutant shows a highly altered product profile compared to the wild-type enzyme with decrease in beta-copaene amounts. Cop4 loop mutant K2331 also becomes more selective for ()-germacrene D under acidic or basic reaction conditions, although less so than the wild-type enzyme Coprinopsis cinerea
N238L site-directed mutagenesis, the mutant shows a slightly altered product profile compared to the wild-type enzyme with increase in beta-copaene amounts Coprinopsis cinerea
N239L site-directed mutagenesis, the mutation converts Cop4 into a much more selective enzyme that produces (-)-germacrene D as the major cyclization product with 50% of total sesquiterpenes products. The mutant makes beta-ylangene, which is a diastereomer of beta-copaene and not synthesized by wild-type Cop4 Coprinopsis cinerea
T236L site-directed mutagenesis, the mutant shows a slightly altered product profile compared to the wild-type enzyme with increase in beta-copaene amounts Coprinopsis cinerea
