1.1.1.18 A12K/D35S/V36R site-directed mutagenesis, the triple mutant has a value of 570000 M/s in reaction with NADP+, higher than that of the wild-type IDH with NAD+. The binding of the coenzyme in the mutant is altered such that although the nicotinamide ring maintains the required position for catalysis, the coenzyme has twisted by nearly 90°, so the adenine moiety no longer binds to a hydrophobic cleft in the Rossmann fold as in the wild-type enzyme 740059 1.1.1.18 analysis specific determination of myo-inositol using a fluorophotometer to measure the fluorescence of NADH released by enzyme immobilized on porous glass 656606 1.1.1.18 D172N site-directed mutagenesis, the mutant shows highly reduced activity compared to the wild-type enzyme 685170 1.1.1.18 D35S/V36R site-directed mutagenesis, the double mutant prefers NADP+ to NAD+ by a factor of 5.

Loss of the transcriptional regulator IolR in an evolved strain variant, termed WMB2evo, drastically increases the growth rate in D-xylose containing media. The myo-inositol/proton symporter IolT1, whose gene is under control of IolR, contributes to D-xylose uptake, ultimately leading to the observed improved growth phenotype. Batch and fed-batch processes for production of D-xylonate with C. glutamicum DELTAiolR, overview. The endogenous myo-inositol dehydrogenase IolG is mainly responsible for the oxidation of D-xylose in Corynebacterium glutamicum. D-Xylonate production with Corynebacterium glutamicum DELTAiolR is characterized by a high volumetric productivity and maximum product yield under batch and fed-batch process conditions applying defined D-xylose/D-glucose mixtures and hydrolyzed bagasse, respectively -, 760719 1.1.1.18 additional information convertion of NAD+-specific inositol dehydrogenase to an efficient NADP+-selective catalyst to enhance understanding of coenzyme selectivity and to create an enzyme capable of recycling NADP+ in biocatalytic processes 740059 1.1.1.18 additional information thermophilic myo-inositol 2-dehydrogenase (IDH) and scyllo-inositol 2-dehydrogenase (SIDH, EC 1.1.1.370) from Geobacillus kaustophilus are co-expressed in Escherichia coli strain BL21(DE3). The Escherichia coli cells containing the two enzymes are permeabilized by heat treatment (heat treatment at 70°C for 20 min for cell permeabilization) as whole-cell catalysts to convert myo-inositol (MI) to scyllo-inositol (SI). After condition optimizations about permeabilized temperature, reaction temperature, and initial MI concentration, about 82 g/l of SI is produced from 250 g/l of MI within 24 h without any cofactor supplementation. The whole-cell catalytic pathway for SI synthesis is initiated by oxidation of MI to scyllo-inosose catalyzed by cofactor NAD+-dependent IDH. Scyllo-inosose is subsequently reduced to SI by SIDH in the presence of NADH. Recycling of NAD+/NADH is achieved in the whole pathway. The specific activity of SIDH is lower than that of IDH, so SIDH is the rate-limiting step in the two-step cascade reaction. The optimal pH of SIDH is 7.0 and IDH does not become the rate-limited enzyme at pH 7.0. The optimal reaction temperature for SI production is set at 60°C, instabilty and loss of activity at 75°C and above.
