Conversion of Escherichia coli pyruvate oxidase to an 'alpha-ketobutyrate oxidase'.

The Biochemical journal - 15 Dec 2000

Chang Y Y, Cronan J E

Abstract excerpt

Escherichia coli pyruvate oxidase (PoxB), a lipid-activated homotetrameric enzyme, is active on both pyruvate and 2-oxobutanoate ('alpha-ketobutyrate'), although pyruvate is the favoured substrate. By localized random mutagenesis of residues chosen on the basis of a modelled active site, we obtained several PoxB enzymes that had a markedly decreased activity with the natural substrate, pyruvate, but retained full...
