Expression, purification and crystallization of N-acetyl-(R)-β-phenylalanine acylases derived from Burkholderia sp. AJ110349 and Variovorax sp. AJ110348 and structure determination of the Burkholderia enzyme.

ABSTRACT: N-Acetyl-(R)-β-phenylalanine acylase is an enzyme that hydrolyzes the amide bond of N-acetyl-(R)-β-phenylalanine to produce enantiopure (R)-β-phenylalanine. In previous studies, Burkholderia sp. AJ110349 and Variovorax sp. AJ110348 were isolated as (R)-enantiomer-specific N-acetyl-(R)-β-phenylalanine acylase-producing organisms and the properties of the native enzyme from Burkholderia sp. AJ110349 were characterized. In this study, structural analyses were carried out in order to investigate the structure-function relationships of the enzymes derived from both organisms. The recombinant N-acetyl-(R)-β-phenylalanine acylases were crystallized by the hanging-drop vapor-diffusion method under multiple crystallization solution conditions. The crystals of the Burkholderia enzyme belonged to spa
