Variants of the industrially relevant protease KP-43 with suppressed activity under alkaline conditions developed using expanded genetic codes.


ABSTRACT: In the present study, we attempted to control the pH profile of the catalytic activity of the industrially relevant alkaline protease KP-43, by incorporating 3-nitro-l-tyrosine and 3-chloro-l-tyrosine at and near the catalytic site. Thirty KP-43 variants containing these non-natural amino acids at the specific positions were synthesized in Escherichia coli host cells with expanded genetic codes. The variant with 3-nitrotyrosine at position 205, near the substrate binding site, retained its catalytic activity at the neutral pH and showed a 60% activity reduction at pH 10.5. This reduction in the alkaline domain is desirable for enhancing the stability of the enzyme in the liquid laundary detergent, whereas the wild-type molecule showed a 20% increase in response to the same pH shift. The engineered pH dependency of the activity of the variant was ascribed partly to a lowered substrate affinity under the alkaline conditions, in which the incorporated 3-nitrotyrosine was probably charged negatively due to the phenolic pK a lower than that of tyrosine.
