drug development | arginine deiminase is a therapeutic protein for cancer therapy of arginine-auxotrophic tumors. An ammonia detection-based screening system for arginine deiminase activity improvement at low arginine concentrations is developed and validated by identifying variants of the Pseudomonas plecoglossicida arginine deiminase with improved activity at physiological arginine concentrations. Four amino acid substitutions are identified to reduce S0.5 values or increase kcat values. The antiproliferation activity of the improved enzyme variant K30R/C37R/L148P/V291L is investigated and compared to wild-type and mutant enzyme K5T/D38H/D44E/A128T/E296K/H404R by in vitro experiments with two relevant melanoma cell lines under physiological conditions. Pseudomonas plecoglossicida arginine deiminase variant K30R/C37R/L148P/V291L is a highly attractive candidate to be used as therapeutic protein for the treatment of arginine-auxotrophic melanomas | Pseudomonas plecoglossicida |
