A NylB/NylB' hybrid enzyme Hyb-24 (NylB' containing T3A-P4R-T5S-S8Q-D15G substitutions) has about 0.5% of the NylB level of Ald-hydrolytic activity. Surface structure of the entrance of the catalytic cleft of the Hyb-24DNY and its mutant enzymes, wild-type and mutant kinetics, detailed overview 753567 3.5.1.46 R187A site-directed mutagenesis, the substitution in the parental Hyb-24DNY decreases the specific activity (initial reaction rate) of synthesis to 37% of the level of Hyb-24DNY 753567 3.5.1.46 R187G site-directed mutagenesis, the substitution in the parental Hyb-24DNY decreases the specific activity (initial reaction rate) of synthesis to 15% of the level of Hyb-24DNY 753567 3.5.1.46 R187S site-directed mutagenesis, the substitution in the parental Hyb-24DNY decreases the specific activity (initial reaction rate) of synthesis to 24% of the level of Hyb-24DNY 753567 3.5.1.46 R187S/F264C/D370Y site-directed mutagenesis, the substitutions also enhance the Ald-hydrolytic activity 80fold over the parental Hyb-24 enzyme. The directly evolved enzyme (Hyb-S4M94) possesses almost no Ald-synthetic activity, although it possesses high levels of the hydrolytic activity even in 90% t-butyl alcohol. In this mutant enzyme, the R187S/F264C substitutions stabilizes the binding at the N-terminal region of Ald, while D370Y substitution stabilizes the binding at the C-terminal region of Ald 753567 3.5.1.46 T3A/P4R/T5S/S8Q/D15G construction of a hybrid of isozymes EII and EII', termed Hyb24, by five amino acid replacement in EII', the mutant shows the same activity as EII' 667074, 669406 3.5.1.46 T3A/P4R/T5S/S8Q/D15G site-directed mutagenesis, construction of a hybrid of isozymes EII and EII', termed Hyb24, by five amino acid replacement in EII', the mutant shows the same activity as EII' 668639 3.5.1.46 T3A/P4R/T5S/S8Q/D15G/D370Y site-directed mutagenesis, mutant Hyb24, by five amino acid replacement in EII' for residues of EII, plus 2 additional exchanges for EII residues leading to a 10fold increased activity with N-(6-aminohexanoyl)-6-aminohexanoate 668639 3.5.1.46 T3A/P4R/T5S/S8Q/D15G/G181D site-directed mutagenesis, mutant Hyb24, by five amino acid replacement in EII' for residues of EII, plus 2 additional exchanges for EII residues leading to a 10fold increased activity with N-(6-aminohexanoyl)-6-aminohexanoate 668639 3.5.1.46 T3A/P4R/T5S/S8Q/D15G/G181D/D370Y site-directed mutagenesis, mutant Hyb24, by five amino acid replacement in EII' for residues of EII, plus 2 additional exchanges for EII residues leading to a 100fold increased activity with N-(6-aminohexanoyl)-6-aminohexanoate 668639
