Latest Patents
Zhenzhong Ding holds a patent titled "Directed modification of glucosamine synthase mutant and application thereof." This invention discloses a directionally modified glucosamine synthase mutant and its application. The amino acid sequence of the glucosamine synthase mutant is detailed in sequence list SEQ ID No. 1, while the nucleotide sequence is provided in sequence list SEQ ID No. 2. The genetic engineering bacteria of glucosamine synthase has been successfully constructed. To improve the tolerance of recombinant bacteria against glucosamine, the glucosamine synthase is directionally modified. A glucosamine synthase mutant is selected from the mutant library via a high-throughput screening method. The amino acid changes in the mutant induce spatial conformational changes in the enzyme, thereby enlarging the region where the enzyme and substrate combine. Consequently, the combination efficiency of the enzyme and the substrate is increased. The glucosamine synthase of this invention boasts various advantages, such as being rich in raw material of glucose and allowing for convenient subsequent extraction.
