Application

Application Comment Organism
medicine the high catalytic proficiency, lack of observable product inhibition, and ability to hydrolyze both cocaine and cocaethylene make cocE an attractive candidate for rapid cocaine detoxification in an emergency setting Rhodococcus sp.

Protein Variants

Protein Variants Comment Organism
D259N mutation results in more than 1500fold decrease in kcat Rhodococcus sp.
F261A mutant catalyzed the hydrolysis of cocaine with a 29fold lower kcat and 15fold higher KM Rhodococcus sp.
F408A mutant has 8fold increased KM and more than 100fold decrease in kcat Rhodococcus sp.
H287A mutation results in more than 1500fold decrease in kcat Rhodococcus sp.
L407A mutant has 2fold increased KM and more than 100fold decrease in kcat Rhodococcus sp.
L407A/F408A attempts to express the L407A/F408A double mutant do not result in any soluble protein Rhodococcus sp.
Q55E the mutation within the active site of cocE results in a 2fold improvement in KM, but a 14fold loss of kcat Rhodococcus sp.
S117A mutation results in more than 1500fold decrease in kcat, crystal structures of the S117A and Y44F mutants of cocE. The first urea unfolding transition in the S117A mutant is shifted from 0.5 to 1.3 M urea compared to the wild-type, while the second transition, although broader, has a similar transition point Rhodococcus sp.
W151A mutant catalyzed the hydrolysis of cocaine with a 78fold lower kcat and 80fold higher KM Rhodococcus sp.
W166A mutant has a 29fold lower kcat, and a 6fold increased KM Rhodococcus sp.
Y44F mutation results in more than 1500fold decrease in kcat, crystal structures of the S117A and Y44F mutants of cocE. The urea unfolding curve of the Y44F mutant is very similar to the wild-type, and has almost identical transition points Rhodococcus sp.
