title: [Enzymatic transglycosylation of natural and modified nucleosides by immobilized thermostable nucleoside phosphorylases from Geobacillus stearothermophilus].
abstract: Natural and modified purine nucleosides have been synthesized using the recombinant thermostable enzymes purine nucleoside phosphorylase II (EC 2.4.2.1) and pyrimidine nucleoside phosphorylase (EC 2.4.2.2) from Geobacillus stearothermophilus B-2194. The enzymes were produced in recombinant E. coli strains and covalently immobilized on aminopropylsilochrom AP-CPG-170 after heating the cell lysates and the removal of coagulated thermolabile proteins. The resulting preparations of thermostable nucleoside phosphorylases retained a high activity after 20 reuses in nucleoside transglycosylation reactions at 70-75 degrees C with a yield of the target products as high as 96%. Owing to the high catalytic activity, thermal stability, the ease of application, and the possibility of repeated use, the immobilized preparations of thermostable nucleoside phosphorylases are suitable for the production of pharmacologically important natural and modified nucleosides.
