additional information | by engineering the entrance tunnel, entering into the substrate-binding pocket, with only one or two amino acid substitutions, five esterase variants of Mhg are obtained. The variants exhibit a very broad substrate acceptance, hydrolyzing not only the classical 4-nitrophenol esters but also various types of chiral esters, which are widely used as drug intermediates. Site 233 at the entrance tunnel of Mhg is found to play a pivotal role in modulating the three catalytic activities by adjusting the size and shape of the tunnel, with different amino acid substitutions at this site facilitating different activities. Remarkably, the variant with the L233G mutant is a very specific esterase without any beta-lactamase and perhydrolase activities. Considering the amino acid conservation and differentiation, this site could be a key target for future protein engineering. Engineering the entrance tunnel is an efficient strategy to regulate enzyme catalytic capabilities | Microbacterium hydrocarbonoxydans |

additional information | Mhg homology structure modeling, structure comparison to esterase from Pseudomonas fluorescens, PDB ID 1VA4, overview | Microbacterium hydrocarbonoxydans |
physiological function | despite having high structural similarity to and sharing an identical catalytic triad with an extensively studied esterase from Pseudomonas fluorescens, wild-type enzyme Mhg from Microbacterium hydrocarbonoxydans does not show any esterase activity. Mhg, a typical alpha/beta fold hydrolase, is a gamma-lactamase (EC 3.5.2.) and also shows perhydrolase activities. But the engineered residue L233 point mutants show specific esterase activities, overview | Microbacterium hydrocarbonoxydans |
