RESUMO
Two cysteine residues (C-265 and C-318) in the putative hydrophilic regions of sarcosine oxidase were substituted by using site-directed mutagenesis. Since the mutant with the C-to-S mutation at position 318 (C318S) lost the enzyme activity, C-318 (conserved among sarcosine oxidases) is most likely a part of the active site. C265S, C265A, C265D, and C265R showed nearly the same enzymatic properties as those of the wild type. However, they were much more stable than the wild type in the presence of inhibitors that modified the thiol group. Moreover, they were extremely stable throughout the cultivation of the recombinant strains or even in cell extracts.
