Part:BBa_K3656307
OT3-Carbonic Anhydrase-Mutant-His
This is an improved part of mutant carbonic anhydrase from Pyrococcus horikoshii OT3 which converts the incoming bicarbonate into carbon dioxide in the carboxysome, a step that is essential for CO2 fixation. We have optimized codon sequence in the coding sequence (CDS) to make the mutant carbonic anhydrase gene more suitable for expression in E. coli. In addition to codon optimization, we have added a His-tag to the C-terminal of the CDS that is used for purification of carbonic anhydrase protein.

Construction of OT3-CA2-MU-His expression plasmid
By using the software Autodock for molecular docking, we studied the docking conformation of the substrate at the catalytic site, and analyzed the interaction between the residue at the catalytic site and the substrate. Autodock and PyMOL were used to further investigate the effects of secondary and tertiary structures of catalytic sites on catalytic processes. After research and discussion, we set up the mutation site and the alternative residue scheme, carried on the molecular docking of the recombinant enzyme, and then compared the enzyme-substrate docking conformation before and after the reorganization. Finally, suitable mutation sites and alternative residues were selected to simulate the mutation and the catalytic performance was improved theoretically.
Based on the simulation results, we finally determine appropriate mutations are respectively: 122: P and K (proline mutation of lysine) 122, 123, P and K (proline mutation of lysine) 123, 128, P and K (proline mutation of lysine) 128, 132: L - > K (leucine mutation of lysine) 132, 134: L - > K (134th leucine mutation of lysine), and 137 - bit: P→K (leucine at 137 was mutated to lysine), and the mutated OT3-CA (OT3-ca-Mu, BBa_K3656307, Fig.1) was finally obtained, which enhanced its catalytic activity under high temperature conditions.
