Comparing <em>Re</em>DAAO with <em>Td</em>DAAO—a homologous <span>d</span>-amino acid oxidase from the thermophilic fungus <em>Thermomyces dupontii</em>—revealed that <em>Re</em>DAAO lacks the YVLQG loop present in <em>Td</em>DAAO, which exhibited narrower substrate specificity. Inserting the YVLQG loop into <em>Re</em>DAAO narrowed its substrate specificity to match <em>Td</em>DAAO, while deleting the sequence from <em>Td</em>DAAO broadened its substrate specificity, resembling <em>Re</em>DAAO. A <em>Td</em>DAAO structural model suggests that the YVLQG loop could interact with a spatially adjacent region covering the active site, distinct from the canonical active-site lid in DAAOs, creating steric hindrance that limits access to the catalytic pocket. Additionally, the unexpected activity of <em>Re</em>DAAO toward <span>d</span>-Glu appears to depend on Arg97 and Ser231, which could interact with <span>d</span>-Glu side chain. Alanine substitutions at these residues significantly reduced <span>d</span>-Glu activity, revealing that Arg97 is essential for catalytic turnover while Ser231 is critical for substrate binding. Together, these results suggest that the YVLQG loop together with the spatially adjacent region acts as a steric gate that modulates access to the catalytic pocket, and Arg97/Ser231 plays an important role in <span>d</span>-Glu. These findings deepen our understanding of the structure–function relationship of DAAO and provide a foundation for developing improved DAAO variants for industrial applications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11770,"journal":{"name":"Enzyme and Microbial Technology","volume":"190 ","pages":"Article 110705"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144557435","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite these expectations, however, a process for the effective production of isoprimeverose from the xyloglucan still requires further development for commercial-level application. A complicating factor for the lack of such a valuable process is that plant-derived xyloglucan is often modified with other sugars such as galactose and arabinose.
