Abstrakt: Epoxide hydrolases (EHs) catalyze the conversion of epoxides into vicinal diols. The epoxide hydrolase gene from P. chrysosporium was previously cloned and subjected to site-directed mutation to study its enzyme activity, but the results were unsatisfactory. This study used error prone PCR and DNA shuffling to construct a PchEHA mutation library. We performed mutation-site combinations on PchEHA based on enzyme activity measurement results combined with directed evolution technology. More than 15,000 mutants were randomly selected for the preliminary screening of PchEHA enzyme activity alongside 38 mutant strains with increased enzyme activity or enantioselectivity. Protein expression and purification were conducted to determine the hydrolytic activity of PchEHA, and three mutants increased their activity by more than 95% compared with that of the wt. After multiple rounds of screening and site-specific mutagenesis, we found that F3 offers the best enzyme activity and enantioselectivity; furthermore, the molecular docking results confirmed this result. Overall, this study uncovered novel mutants with potential value as industrial biocatalysts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
