Protein Variants

Protein Variants Comment Organism
F166I mutation changes the product of phytoene desaturation from neurosporene to lycopene Cereibacter sphaeroides
H12Q mutation has little effect on the product formation Cereibacter sphaeroides
M402T mutation has a negative effect on percent lycopene production Cereibacter sphaeroides
additional information directed evolution is used to change the product of Rhodobacter sphaeroides phytoene desaturase (crtI gene product), a neurosporene-producing enzyme, to lycopene. Two generations of random mutagenesis are performed, from which three positive mutants are isolated and sequenced. Site-directed mutagenesis is used to determine the effect of each amino acid change Cereibacter sphaeroides
V68D mutation changes the product of phytoene desaturation from neurosporene to lycopene Cereibacter sphaeroides
