Omega-transaminase (ω-TA) catalyzes the transfer of an amino group from a non-alpha-position amino acid or an amine compound with no carboxylic group to an amino acceptor. ω-TA from Vibrio fluvialis JS17 (ω-TAVf) is a novel amine:pyruvate transaminase that is capable of stereoselective transamination of aryl chiral amines. In this study, omega-TAVf was overexpressed in Escherichia coli with engineered C-terminal His tags. ω-TAVf was then purified to homogeneity and crystallized at 292 K. X-ray d ...[more]
