Abstract
Streptomyces thermovulgans malate synthase (stMS) is known to be more thermostable and thermoactive than S. coelicolor malate synthase (scMS). Therefore, based on the amino acid sequence of stMS, 3 scMS mutants, namely P186R, T8PL9P, and T8PL9PP186R, were created by site-directed mutagenesis in an attempt to engineer a more thermoactive and thermostable enzyme. An enzymatic analysis of the wild-type and mutant MS revealed that P186R and T8PL9PP186R were more thermoactive than the wild-type scMS and T8PL9P. Furthermore, all 3 mutants exhibited a greater thermo stability than scMS, thereby suggesting that both R186 and P8P9 can cause increased thermo stability in scMS.
