Penicillin G acylase (PAC) is one of the most widely used enzymes in industrail synthesis of semi-synthetic antibiotics. The Providencia rettgeri pac gene was expressed to a level of 2.7 U/ml using the Pichia pastoris expression system. The recombinant enzyme was purified and its glycosylation status was determined. It was found that both subunits (alfa and beta) of the enzyme were N-glycosylated, while the beta-subunit also contained O-glycans. It was also observed that rPACP.rett. was stable in a wide range of pH, which, in addition to the previously proved high thermostability, makes it an attractive biocatalyst from an industrial point of view.
