The catalytic efficiency of the mutant enzymes at high and low pH in comparison to the wild-type was investigated using standard rPr-MnP3 protocol. Wild-type recombinant Phlebia radiata MnP3 enzyme showed optimal activity with Mn (II) as substrate at pH 5.0 and remained moderately active (approximately 40%) in the pH range of 6.0 - 9.0. The rPr-MnP3 mutants’ maximum activity ranged between 5.5 and 8.0. Wild-type and mutants rPr-MnP3 enzymes exhibited a similar pH profile with optimum pH of 3.0 for ABTS oxidation. Mutation has severely decreased the catalytic efficiency for Mn (II) oxidation at pH 5.0. The rPr-MnP3 enzymes showed enhanced affinity for Mn (II) at alkaline pH and a more alkaline range for catalysis than ever reported for any Manganese Peroxidase. This study reveals that at higher pH, rPr-MnP3 can function with alternative ligands in the Mn (II) site and does not have an absolutely obligate requirement for an all carboxylate ligand set. These results further strongly confirm that Mn<sup>2+</sup> binding site is the only productive catalytic site for Mn (II) oxidation.展开更多

Five mutant genes (E40H, E44H, E40H/E44H, D186H and D186N) of recombinant Phlebia radiata MnP3 (rPr-MnP3) were generated. The wild-type and the mutant genes were expressed in Escherichia coli (W3110 strain) and the resultant body proteins were lysed, purified and refolded into active enzymes. 6% - 7% recovery of pure and fully active rPr-MnP3 for wild-type and mutants were obtained and the availability of rPr-MnP3 enzymes will greatly facilitate its structure-function relationships studies. rPr-MnP3 mass was characterised using SDS-PAGE and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Molecular weight of both the wild-type and mutant rPr-MnP3 enzymes was approximately 36 kDa. This describes the spectral characterization of the wild-type and mutant rPr-MnP3 enzymes with are very close similarities;substantially high spin haem enzymes. Therefore we report the engineering, cloning, expression, refolding/activation of MnP3 genes and preliminary characterization of the wild-type and mutant Phlebia radiata MnP3 enzymes.展开更多

The pH-dependent cycle of reactions for rPr-MnP3 was evaluated by investigating time-dependent changes in the activity and electronic absorption spectrum of rPr-MnP3.The rPr-MnP3 had maximum efficacy (kcat/Km) for Mn (II) oxidation at pH 5.0 and 3.0 for oxidation of ABTS. Raising the pH of a solution of resting rPr-MnP3 from pH 6.7 (form XH) to pH 8.6 (form X<sup>−</sup>), a rapid alkaline transition occurs. Leaving the X<sup>−</sup> form of the enzyme at pH 8.6, it slowly becomes converted to a third form of the enzyme Y<sup>−</sup>, which returned to the original XH form of the enzyme at pH 6.7. Recovery of form XH from form Y<sup>−</sup> occurred through an intermediate Z form. The pH inactivation of rPr-MnP3 followed first-order kinetics. The rate of formation of XH from Z is pH-dependent and biphasic in nature, with measured rate constants (k) = 0.25 min<sup>−1</sup>, and half-life (T<sub>1/2</sub>) = 2.8 min. The pH-dependent properties observed may be indicative of a greater degree of conformational flexibility at rPr-MnP3 active site due to disruption of the haem-linked hydrogen-bonding network in the distal haem pocket. Calcium ions were observed to significantly stabilised the enzyme’s spectral features and reduce the loss of activity during the alkaline pH transition. Calcium ions enhance the recovery of the initial activity but cannot prevent the final time-dependent irreversible denaturation and aggregation.展开更多
