Marked enhancement of Acinetobacter sp. organophosphorus hydrolase activity by a single residue substitution Ile211Ala

Abstract: Background:The activity of organophosphorus hydrolase (OPH) that catalyzes the hydrolysis of neurotoxic organophosphates (OPs) was reported to evolve from lactonase. Results:In this study, a putative OPH from Acinetobacter sp. (AbOPH) exhibited high lactonase activity with latent OPH activity. Sequence alignment and phylogenetic tree analysis revealed the unique status of AbOPH in evolution. The crystal structure of AbOPH was determined at 2.0 Å resolution and a semi-rational design was performed to enhance th… Show more

“…Crystallization and Diffraction Data Collection. Crystals were grown at 18 °C using the sitting-drop vapor diffusion method 46 by mixing the protein solution (2 μL, 14 mg/mL) with the reservoir solution (2 μL) containing 25% (w/v) PEG 3350, 0.1 M Tris-HCl (pH 8.5), and 0.2 M NaCl. Crystals were cryoprotected with reservoir solution plus 15% glycerol.…”

“…OPH based biodegradation, which can efficiently hydrolyze OPs to benign molecules, is one of the most attractive technologies for removing OPs (Schenk et al 2016;Kim et al 2014a, b;Ramalho et al 2016;Theriot and Grunden 2011). Many naturally occurring or engineered OPHs have been developed so far (Cherny et al 2013;Khare et al 2012;Luo et al 2014;Abe et al 2014;Bigley et al 2016;Chen et al 2015;Jackson et al 2009). However, in spite of high activity, free OPHs are difficult to be recovered from aqueous solution, and are often denatured quickly under harsh environments such as high temperatures and high pHs that are usually used in industrial washing and water treatment, hindering its usage in practical applications (Giudice et al 2016;Bai et al 2017).…”
