Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Methods for the evolution of NADPH specific ketol-acid reductoisomerase enzymes to acquire NADH specificity are provided. Specific mutant ketol-acid reductoisomerase enzymes isolated from Pseudomonas that have undergone co-factor switching to utilize NADH are described.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A recombinant mutant ketol-acid reductoisomerase enzyme having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 29. 2. The recombinant mutant ketol-acid reductoisomerase enzyme of claim 1 , wherein the enzyme comprises a substitution at position 24 wherein the substitution is an amino acid substitution of phenylalanine. 3. The recombinant mutant ketol-acid reductoisomerase enzyme of claim 1 , wherein the enzyme comprises a substitution at position 50 wherein the substitution is an amino acid substitution of alanine. 4. The recombinant mutant ketol-acid reductoisomerase enzyme of claim 1 , wherein the enzyme comprises a substitution at position 52 wherein the substitution is an amino acid substitution of aspartic acid. 5. The recombinant mutant ketol-acid reductoisomerase enzyme of claim 1 , wherein the enzyme comprises a substitution at position 53 wherein the substitution is an amino acid substitution of alanine. 6. The recombinant mutant ketol-acid reductoisomerase enzyme of claim 1 , wherein the enzyme comprises a substitution at position 61 wherein the substitution is an amino acid substitution of phenylalanine. 7. The recombinant mutant ketol-acid reductoisomerase enzyme of claim 1 , wherein the enzyme further comprises a substitution at position 115 wherein the substitution is an amino acid substitution of leucine. 8. The recombinant mutant ketol-acid reductoisomerase enzyme of claim 1 , wherein the enzyme further comprises a substitution at position 165 wherein the substitution is an amino acid substitution of methionine. 9. The recombinant mutant ketol-acid reductoisomerase enzyme of claim 1 , wherein the enzyme comprises a substitution at position 33 wherein the substitution is an amino acid substitution of leucine. 10. The recombinant mutant ketol-acid reductoisomerase enzyme of claim 1 , wherein the enzyme comprises a substitution at position 80 wherein the substitution is an amino acid substitution of isoleucine. 11. The recombinant mutant ketol-acid reductoisomerase enzyme of claim 1 , wherein the enzyme comprises a substitution at position 156 wherein the substitution is an amino acid substitution of valine.
