Covalent modification of purified Trigonopsis variabilis D-amino acid oxidase using maleimide-activated poly(ethylene glycol) 5000 yielded a stable bioconjugate in which three surface-exposed cysteine side chains were selectively derivatized. Compared with the native enzyme, the PEGylated variant displayed substantially (approximately 3.3-fold) slowed dissociation rate of FAD cofactor at 50 degrees C, and this caused a twofold thermostabilization of the enzyme activity. The stability under reaction conditions at 30 degrees C was also markedly enhanced in the PEG-oxidase conjugate. PEGylation did not affect steady-state kinetic parameters for oxidative deamination of D-methionine when 2,6-dichloroindophenol replaced dioxygen as the cosubstrate while it caused a ninefold decrease in substrate catalytic efficiency for the dioxygen-dependent reaction.

Unlabelled: The CRISPR/Cas9 technology revolutionizes targeted gene knockout in diverse organisms including plants. However, screening edited alleles, particularly those with multiplex editing, from herbicide- or antibiotic-resistant transgenic plants and segregating out the transgene represent two laborious processes. Current solutions to facilitate these processes rely on different selection markers.

Oxidases are a group of oxidoreductases and need molecular oxygen in the catalytic process. Vitreoscilla hemoglobin (VHb) can improve the growth and productivity of host cells under hypoxic conditions, rendering it attractive for industrial application. In this work, we demonstrated the addition of immobilized VHb increased the catalytic activity of immobilized D-amino acid oxidase of Trigonopsis variabilis by two-fold when catalyzing cephalosporin C under oxygen-limited conditions.

The functionalization of the internal surface of macroporous carriers with glyoxyl groups has proven to highly stabilize a large variety of enzymes through multipoint covalent immobilization. In this work, we have translated the surface chemistry developed for the fabrication of glyoxyl-agarose carriers to macroporous cellulose (CEL). To that aim, CEL-based microbeads were functionalized with glyoxyl groups through a stepwise alkoxylation (or alkylation)/oxidation synthetic scheme.

S-Adenosyl-l-methionine (SAM) is an important small molecule compound widely used in treating various diseases. Although l-methionine is generally used, the low-cost dl-methionine is more suitable as the substrate for industrial production of SAM. However, d-methionine is inefficient for SAM formation due to the substrate-specificity of SAM synthetase.
