Crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic studies of ?-transaminase from Mesorhizobium sp. strain LUK.


ABSTRACT: ?-Transaminase (?-TA) catalyzes the transamination reaction between ?-aminocarboxylic acids and keto acids. This enzyme is a particularly suitable candidate for use as a biocatalyst for the asymmetric synthesis of enantiochemically pure ?-amino acids for pharmaceutical purposes. The ?-TA from Mesorhizobium sp. strain LUK (?-TAMs) belongs to a novel class in that it shows ?-transaminase activity with a broad and unique substrate specificity. In this study, ?-TAMs was overexpressed in Escherichia coli with an engineered C-terminal His tag. ?-TAMs was then purified to homogeneity and crystallized at 293?K. X-ray diffraction data were collected to a resolution of 2.5?Å from a crystal that belonged to the orthorhombic space group C222(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 90.91, b = 192.17, c = 52.75?Å.
