Fine-tuning the activity and stability of an evolved enzyme active-site through noncanonical amino-acids.
Title: Fine-tuning the activity and stability of an evolved enzyme active-site through noncanonical amino-acids.
Molecular dynamics simulations confirmed that the mutations of TK rigidified the active-site via the correlated network.
Title: Exploiting correlated molecular-dynamics networks to counteract enzyme activity-stability trade-off.
Report the crystal structure of the S385Y/D469T/R520Q variant, and molecular docking of three substrates. This now supports our original hypothesis that directed-evolution had generated an evolutionary intermediate with divergent binding modes for the three aromatic aldehydes tested. The new active site contained two binding pockets supporting pi-pi stacking interactions, sterically separated by the D469T mutation.
Title: Structural Analysis of an Evolved Transketolase Reveals Divergent Binding Modes.
In the present study, ppsA and tktA genes were overexpressed in genetically engineered Escherichia coli to enhance the availability of two precursor substrates, phosphoenolpyruvate and erythrose-4-phosphate.
Title: Improved production of tryptophan in genetically engineered Escherichia coli with TktA and PpsA overexpression.
An insertion in tktA that gave synthetic growth defects in a ppGpp0 led to the identification of tktB as a transcriptional target of ppGpp.
Title: Synthetic growth phenotypes of Escherichia coli lacking ppGpp and transketolase A (tktA) are due to ppGpp-mediated transcriptional regulation of tktB.
