The substrate preferences of three acylases - two wild-type enzymes and an evolved variant obtained by directed evolution - which are prototypical enzymes for glutaryl-7-ACA acylase and cephalosporin C acylase subfamilies, have been investigated. A preliminary screening of enzymes' performances on a large set of substrates has been carried out by a colorimetric assay performed in 96-well plates and by a pH-Stat monitoring the hydrolytic activities. Subsequently, kinetic data for selected substrates have been determined, thus elucidating the substrate preference of members of glutaryl-7-ACA acylase vs. cephalosporin C acylase subfamilies. These achievements pave the way to the ability of choosing the best enzyme for the hydrolysis of different compounds of industrial importance.

α-Amino ester hydrolases (AEH) are a small class of proteins, which are highly specific for hydrolysis or synthesis of α-amino containing amides and esters including β-lactam antibiotics such as ampicillin, amoxicillin, and cephalexin. A BLAST search revealed the sequence of a putative glutaryl 7-aminocephalosporanic acid (GL-7-ACA) acylase 93% identical to a known AEH from Xanthomonas citri. The gene, termed gaa, was cloned from the genomic DNA of Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris sp. strain ATCC 33913 and the corresponding protein was expressed into Escherichia coli. The purified protein was able to perform both hydrolysis and synthesis of a variety of α-amino β-lactam antibiotics including (R)-ampicillin and cephalexin, with optimal ampicillin hydrolytic activity at 25 °C and pH 6.8, with kinetic parameters of kcat of 72.5 s-1 and KM of 1.1 mM. The synthesis parameters α, βo, and γ for ampicillin, determined here first for this class of proteins, are α = 0.25, βo = 42.8 M-1, and γ = 0.23, and demonstrate the excellent synthetic potential of these enzymes. An extensive study of site-directed mutations around the binding pocket of X. campestris pv. campestris AEH strongly suggests that mutation of almost any first-shell amino acid residues around the active site leads to inactive enzyme, including Y82, Y175, D207, D208, W209, Y222, and E309, in addition to those residues forming the catalytic triad, S174, H340, and D307.

The application of the two-phase "aqueous solution - water-immiscible organic solvent" system is suggested not for effective biocatalytic synthesis, but for hydrolytic purposes. Enzymatic hydrolysis of benzylpenicillin and N-phenylacetamidodesacetoxycepha
