Abstract excerpt
The b-type cytochrome LcpK30 is a latex clearing protein (Lcp), which acts as an endotype dioxygenase to catalyze the extracellular cleavage of the chemically inert aliphatic polymer poly(cis-1,4-isoprene), producing oligo-isoprenoids with different terminal carbonyl groups (aldehyde and ketone, -CH2-CHO and -CH2-COCH3). On the basis of the fact that the muteins of E148A, E148Q, and E148H have substantially...
