Radical transfer but not heme distal residues is essential for pH dependence of dye-decolorizing activity of peroxidase from Vibrio cholerae.

Abstract excerpt

Dye-decolorizing peroxidase (DyP) is a heme-containing enzyme that catalyzes the degradation of anthraquinone dyes. A main feature of DyP is the acidic optimal pH for dye-decolorizing activity. In this study, we constructed several mutant DyP enzymes from Vibrio cholerae (VcDyP), with a view to identifying the decisive factor of the low pH preference of DyP. Initially, distal Asp144, a conserved residue, was...
