Multivariate analysis guided the evolution of human glutathione transferase (GST) T1-1, enhancing its alkyltransferase activity 65-fold. This method aids in tailoring proteins and other molecules for improved functions.

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Molecular Biology
  • Protein Engineering

Background:

  • Directed evolution is key for improving protein function through mutagenesis.
  • Selecting superior mutants is critical for iterative protein improvement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To enhance the alkyltransferase activity of human glutathione transferase (GST) T1-1.
  • To apply multivariate analysis for guiding protein evolution.

Main Methods:

  • Generated a mutant library of GST T1-1 via DNA recombination and heterologous expression.
  • Utilized six alternative substrates to map the substrate-activity space.
  • Employed multidimensional cluster analysis to identify promising mutants in a six-dimensional factor space.

Main Results:
