Improvement from iGEM17-UESTC-China

As a mutant with high activity toward 1,3-DCP, HheC-W249P has few changes towards to 2,3-DCP. This year we UESTC-China used this part as the substrate to successfully obtain two mutants BBa_K2286006 (P84A) and BBa_K2286008 (P84A-W249P) with improved 2,3-DCP activity by molecular simulation and single-site saturation mutagenesis.

Catalytic activity towards to 2,3-DCP

Halogen ion release occurs when the haloalcohol dehalogenase catalyzes the the o-halanol to the epoxide. The interaction of the halide with Hg2+ allows Hg2+ to be separated from SCN-, which forms a colored complex with Fe3 +. This complex can be determined by absorption at 460 nm. Therefore, we determined these two mutants activity by the halide ion method.

Fig. 1 The activity of mutants on 2,3-DCP.Data were measured in 50mM Tris-H2SO4 at pH 8.5 and 37℃.

The results show that the catalytic activity of mutant P84A to 2,3-DCP is 2.42 times that of W249P, and the catalytic activity of P84A-W249P to 2,3-DCP is 1.15 times that of W249P at 37℃ and pH 8.5.

Catalytic activity towards to CPD

haloalcohol dehalogenase HheC can catalyze o-halide into epoxides and hydrogen halides through intramolecular nucleophilic substitution mechanisms, which are involved in the catalytic degradation of many halogen compounds and have a wide range of catalytic substrates. Therefore, in order to clarify whether the high activity of the mutants are suitable for other substrates, under the same conditions, we select 3-chloropropane-1,2-diol (CPD) as the substrate for further detection. The results show that the activity of P84A-W249P towards CPD is lower than W249P. And the activity of P84A towards to CPD increased a little.

Fig. 2 The activity of mutants on CPD.Data were measured in 50mM Tris-H2SO4 at pH 8.5 and 37℃

The above experimental results show that amino acid of HheC locating in 84 site has an important effect on its catalytic activity toward the 2,3-DCP, CPD.Compared with W249P, the mutant P84A-W249P successfully improved its catalytic activity toward 2,3-DCP. While the mutant P84A not only improves its catalytic activity toward 2,3-DCP, but also maintains its high activity for CPD.
