Method for enhancing catalytic activity of a lipase |
摘要 |
Methods for enhancing a biological activity, for example, catalytic activity, of a lipase, are provided. In some embodiments, the methods include the step of alkylating one or more cysteine residues present within the lipase. Also provided are modified polypeptides for which a biological activity is enhanced by the disclosed methods, methods for using the disclosed polypeptides, including for the transesterification of renewable oils to produce a biofuel, and cell free systems that include a lipase, to which one or more moieties, such as steroidal moieties, are conjugated. |

1. A method for enhancing a catalytic activity of a mammalian phospholipase Cβ3 comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, the method comprising: (a) providing a mammalian phospholipase Cβ3 comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1; and (b) alkylating one or more cysteine residues selected from the group consisting of C193, C221, C360, C516, C614, C892, C1176, and C1207 of SEQ ID NO: 1 present within the mammalian phospholipase Cβ3 with a U73122 (1-(6-[((17β)-3-methoxyestra-1,3,5[10]-trien-17-yl)amino]hexyl]-2,5-pyrrolidinedione), whereby the catalytic activity of the mammalian phospholipase Cβ3 is enhanced. |
