Characterization of a Stable Form of Carboxypeptidase G2 (Glucarpidase), a Potential Biobetter Variant, From Acinetobacter sp. 263903-1

Overview
Carboxypeptidase G2 (CPG2) is a bacterial enzyme widely used to detoxify methotrexate (MTX) and in enzyme/prodrug therapy for cancer treatment. However, several drawbacks, such as instability, have limited its efficiency. Herein, we have evaluated the properties of a putative CPG2 from Acinetobacter sp. 263903-1 (AcCPG2). AcCPG2 is compared with a CPG2 derived from Pseudomonas sp. strain RS-16 (PsCPG2), available as an FDA-approved medication called glucarpidase. After modeling AcCPG2 using the I-TASSER program, the refined model was validated by PROCHECK, VERIFY 3D and according to the Z score of the model. Using computational analyses, AcCPG2 displayed higher thermodynamic stability and a lower aggregation propensity than PsCPG2. AcCPG2 showed an optimum pH of 7.5 against MTX and was stable over a pH range of 5–10. AcCPG2 exhibited optimum activity at 50 °C and higher thermal stability at a temperature range of 20–70 °C compared to PsCPG2. The Km value of the purified AcCPG2 toward folate and MTX was 31.36 µM and 44.99 µM, respectively. The Vmax value of AcCPG2 for folate and MTX was 125.80 µmol/min/mg and 48.90 µmol/min/mg, respectively. Accordingly, thermostability and pH versatility makes AcCPG2 a potential biobetter variant for therapeutic applications.
