Besides being an S-stereoselective character towards piperidine-based carboxamides, this enzyme also hydrolyses different L-amino acid amides, turning it into a potential biocatalyst within the Amidase Process. In this work, we report the characterization of L-proline amide hydrolase from Pseudomonas syringae (PsyPAH) together with the first X-ray structure for this class of L-amino acid amidases. Recombinant PsyPAH showed optimal conditions at pH 7.0 and 35 degrees C, with an apparent thermal melting temperature of 46 degrees C. The enzyme behaved as a monomer at the optimal pH. The L-enantioselective hydrolytic activity towards different canonical and non-canonical amino-acid amides was confirmed. Structural analysis suggests key residues in the enzymatic activity.}, organization = {Spanish Government}, organization = {European Commission PID2020-116261GB-I00/AEI/10.13039/501100011033}, organization = {FEDER/Junta de Andalucia-Consejeria de Transformacion Economica, Industria, Conocimiento y Universidades P18-FR-3533 P12-FQM-790}, organization = {University of Granada PPJI2017-1 CTS-202}, publisher = {MDPI}, keywords = {Amidase}, keywords = {Amino acid}, keywords = {Amidase process}, keywords = {Proline}, keywords = {Aminopeptidase}, keywords = {S33 family}, title = {A New L-Proline Amide Hydrolase with Potential Application within the Amidase Process}, doi = {10.3390/cryst12010018}, author = {Martínez Rodríguez, Sergio and Contreras Montoya, Rafael and Torres De Pinedo, Jesús Manuel and Álvarez Cienfuegos Rodríguez, Luis and Gavira Gallardo, José Antonio}, }
