Current status and emerging frontiers in enzyme engineering: An industrial perspective
HeliyonProtein engineering mechanisms can be an efficient approach to enhance the biochemical properties of various biocatalysts. Immobilization of biocatalysts and the introduction of new-to-nature chemical reactivities are also possible through the same ...

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...

Highly Efficient Site-Specific and Cassette Mutagenesis of Plasmids Harboring GC-Rich Sequences
CellsGC-rich sequences affect DNA replication, recombination and repair, as well as RNA transcription in vivo. Such sequences may also impede site-directed mutagenesis in vitro.

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...

Effect of substitution of Cys11 by Ser on the activity and dimerization of one of rice thioredoxin isoforms (OsTrx23) using site-directed mutagenesis [PDF]
مجله بیوتکنولوژی کشاورزی, 2015 Thioredoxins (Trxs) are low-molecular-mass proteins with two cysteins in their active site WC(G/P)PC which are involved in reversible reduction of disulfide bonds.

Golgi enzymes are retrieved from the plasma membrane to the trans‐Golgi network
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Golgi enzymes are traditionally considered resident proteins retained within the Golgi apparatus. Here, we demonstrate that a subset transiently reaches the cell surface and is subsequently retrieved to the trans‐Golgi network via retrograde transport. Using a nanobody‐based toolkit, we uncover a dynamic trafficking cycle of several Golgi enzymes.

Structural and biochemical analysis of a B12 superbinder
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.BtuG proteins are vitamin B12 scavengers in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, a dominant human gut bacterium. We present crystal structures of three BtuG homologs bound to cobalamin and its precursor cobinamide, revealing picomolar binding affinities, among the highest known for any natural protein.

The Shewanella oneidensis Fic enzyme SoFic targets the switch‐I region of EF‐Tu for AMPylation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Fic enzymes mediate diverse post‐translational modifications across all domains of life, including AMPylation. Prokaryotic EF‐Tu can be AMPylated and deAMPylated by the conserved Fic enzyme SoFic. Structural and biochemical approaches were used to characterize the effect of AMPylation on EF‐Tu, SoFic's enzymatic activities, and the enzyme‐target ...

High-throughput site-directed mutagenesis using oligonucleotides synthesized on DNA chips
BioTechniques, 2005 Site-directed mutagenesis has greatly helped researchers both to understand the precise role of specific residues in coding sequences and to generate variants of proteins that have acquired new characteristics.
