Determination of the second autoproteolytic cleavage site of cephalosporin C acylase and the effect of deleting its flanking residues in the α-C-terminal region.

Abstract excerpt

Self-activation through two-step intra-molecular cleavages is of great importance for the synthesis of mature and functional cephalosporin acylase in the N-terminal nucleophile (Ntn) hydrolase superfamily. A synthetic gene for cephalosporin C acylase (sCPCAcy) from Pseudomonas sp. SE83 was overexpressed, and the self-activated sCPCAcy was produced in Escherichia coli JM109(DE3)/pET28-sCPCAcy. The first...
