Description
DszB - HBPS desulfinase which carries out the last step of the 4S pathway, converting 2-hydroxybiphenyl-2-sulfinic acid (HBPS) to 2-hydroxybiphenyl. The sequence has been mutated Y63F to increase enzyme activity.
Notes
Mutations of internal PstI and NotI cut sites in order to make biobrick compatible, as well as an added mutation of Y63F in the protein to increase its activity.
Source
Amplified from a plasmid in an environmental isolate of Rhodococcus shown to be an active desulfurizer.
