摘要: We previously reported that poly(Asp) hydrolase-1 (PahZ1KP-2) from Pedobacter sp. KP-2 selectively, but not completely, cleaved the amide bonds between β-Asp units in thermally synthesized (tPAA). In present study, enzymatic hydrolysis of stereoisomeric β-tri(Asp)s by PahZ1KP-2 was investigated to clarify substrate stereoselectivity tPAA. The results suggest following structural features at its binding site: (1) active site contains four subsites (2, 1, −1, and −2), three which need be occupied Asp for cleavage occur; (2) proceed, subsite 1 should an l-Asp unit, whereas other may accept both l- d-Asp units; (3) two central occurs, (l-Asp)-(d-Asp) sequence is most favorable cleavage.
