In Silico Analysis of the Dextransucrase Obtained From Leuconostoc mesenteroides Strain IBUN 91.2.98

Acceso Abierto

Abstract:

The DSR-IBUN dextransucrase produced by Leuconostoc mesenteroides strain IBUN 91.2.98 has a short production time (4.5 hours), an enzymatic activity of 24.8 U/mL, and a specific activity of purified enzyme 2 times higher (331.6 U/mg) than that reported for similar enzymes. The aim of this study was to generate a structural model that, from an in silico approach, allows a better understanding, from the structural point of view, of the activity obtained by the enzyme of interest, which is key to continue with its study and industry application. For this, we translated the nucleotide sequence of the dsr_IBUN gene. With the primary structure of DSR-IBUN, the in silico prediction of physicochemical parameters, the possible subcellular localization, the presence of signal peptide, and the location of domains and functional and structural motifs of the protein were established. Subsequently, its secondary and tertiary structure were predicted and a homology model of the dextransucrase under study was constructed using Swiss-Model, performing careful template selection. The values obtained for the model, Global Model Quality Estimation (0.63), Quality Mean (-1.49), and root-mean-square deviation (0.09), allow us to affirm that the model for the enzyme dextransucrase DSR-IBUN is of adequate quality and can be used as a source of information for this protein.
