p-Hydroxybenzoate hydroxylase (PHBH) is a flavoprotein monooxygenase that catalyzes the hydroxylation of p-hydroxybenzoate (p-OHB) to 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate (3,4-DOHB). PHBH can bind to other benzoate derivatives in addition to p-OHB; however, hydroxylation does not occur on 3,4-DOHB. Replacement of Tyr385 with Phe forms a mutant, which enables the production of 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzonate (gallic acid) from 3,4-DOHB, although the catalytic activity of the mutant is quite low. In this study, we report how the L199V/Y385F double mutant exhibits activity for producing gallic acid 4.3-fold higher than that of the Y385F single mutant. This improvement in catalytic activity is primarily due to the suppression of a shun... More
