Two novel genes (tsB, tsC) involved in the conversion of DL-2-amino-Δ2-thiazoline-4-carboxylic acid (DL-ATC) to L-cysteine through S-carbamyl-L-cysteine (L-SCC) pathway were cloned from the genomic DNA library of Pseudomonas sp. TS1138. The recombinant proteins of these two genes were expressed in Escherichia coli BL21, and their enzymatic activity assays were performed in vitro. It was found that the tsB gene encoded an L-ATC hydrolase, which catalyzed the conversion of L-ATC to L-SCC, while the tsC gene encoded an L-SCC amidohydrolase, which showed the catalytic ability to convert L-SCC to L-cysteine. These results suggest that tsB and tsC play important roles in the L-SCC pathway and L-cysteine biosynthesis in Pseudomonas sp. TS1138, and that they have potential applications in the industrial production of L-cysteine. 相似文献

D-Galactosyl-β1→4-L-rhamnose (GalRha) was produced enzymatically from 1.1 M sucrose and 1.0 M L-rhamnose by the concomitant actions of four enzymes (sucrose phosphorylase, UDP-glucose-hexose 1-phosphate uridylyltransferase, UDP-glucose 4-epimerase, and D-galactosyl-β1→4-L-rhamnose phosphorylase) in the presence of 1.0 mM UDP-glucose and 30 mM inorganic phosphate. The accumulation of GalRha in 1 liter of the reaction mixture reached 230 g (the reaction yield was 71% from L-rhamnose). Sucrose and fructose in the reaction mixture were removed by yeast treatment, but isolation of GalRha by crystallization after yeast treatment was unsuccessful. Finally, 49 g of GalRha was isolated from part of the reaction mixture with yeast treatment by gel-filtration chromatography. 相似文献

L-Tartrate in wines and grapes was enzymatically quantified by using the secondary activity of D-malate dehydrogenase (D-MDH). NADH formed by the D-MDH reaction was monitored spectrophotometrically. Under the optimal conditions, L-tartrate (a 1.0 mM sample solution) was fully oxidized by D-MDH in 30 min. A linear relationship was obtained between the absorbance difference and the L-tartrate concentration in the range of a 0.02-1.0 mM sample solution with a correlation coefficient of 0.9991. The relative standard deviation from ten measurements was 1.71% at the 1.0 mM sample solution level. The proposed method was compared with HPLC, and the values determined by both methods were in good agreement. 相似文献

L-amino acid oxidase (L-AAO) from snake venom Crotalus adamanteus was successfully tested as a catalyst in supercritical CO2 (SC-CO2). The enzyme activity was measured before and after exposure to supercritical conditions (40°C, 110 bar). It was found that L-AAO activity slightly increased after SC-CO2 exposure by up to 15%. L-AAO was more stable in supercritical CO2 than in phosphate buffer under atmospheric pressure, as well as in the enzyme membrane reactor (EMR) experiment. 3,4-Dihydroxyphenyl-L-alanine (L-DOPA) oxidation was performed in a batch reactor made of stainless steel that could withstand the pressures of SC-CO2, in which L-amino acid oxidase from C. adamanteus was able to catalyze the reaction of oxidative deamination of L-DOPA in SC-CO2. For the comparison L-DOPA oxidation was performed in the EMR at 40°C and pressure of 2.5 bar. Productivity expressed as mmol-s of converted L-DOPA after 3?h per change of enzyme activity after 3?h was the highest in SC-CO2 (1.474?mmol?U?1), where catalase was present, and the lowest in the EMR (0.457?mmol?U?1). 相似文献

In this study we focused on the effects of light irradiation and the addition of L-galactono-1,4-lactone (L-GalL) on the conversion of exogenous L-GalL to L-ascorbate (AsA) and the total AsA pool size in detached leaves of Arabidopsis plants and transgenic plants expressing the rat L-gulono-1,4-lactone oxidase gene. Increases in the total AsA level in L-GalL-treated leaves depended entirely on light irradiation. Treatment with an inhibitor of photosynthetic electron transport together with L-GalL reduced the increase in total AsA under light. Light, particularly the redox state of photosynthetic electron transport, appeared to play an important role in the regulation of the conversion of L-GalL to AsA in the mitochondria, reflecting the cellular level of AsA in plants. 相似文献

The L-rhamnose isomerase gene (rhi) of Mesorhizobium loti was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli, and then characterized. The enzyme exhibited activity with respect to various aldoses, including D-allose and L-talose. Application of it in L-talose production from galactitol was achieved by a two-step reaction, indicating that it can be utilized in the large-scale production of L-talose. 相似文献

l-ribose isomerase (L-RI) from Cellulomonas parahominis MB426 can convert l-psicose and d-tagatose to l-allose and d-talose, respectively. Partially purified recombinant L-RI from Escherichia coli JM109 was immobilized on DIAION HPA25L resin and then utilized to produce l-allose and d-talose. Conversion reaction was performed with the reaction mixture containing 10% l-psicose or d-tagatose and immobilized L-RI at 40 °C. At equilibrium state, the yield of l-allose and d-talose was 35.0% and 13.0%, respectively. Immobilized enzyme could convert l-psicose to l-allose without remarkable decrease in the enzyme activity over 7 times use and d-tagatose to d-talose over 37 times use. After separation and concentration, the mixture solution of l-allose and d-talose was concentrated up to 70% and crystallized by keeping at 4 °C. l-Allose and d-talose crystals were collected from the syrup by filtration. The final yield was 23.0% l-allose and 7.30% d-talose that were obtained from l-psicose and d-tagatose, respectively. 相似文献

To clarify the involvement of seven Arabidopsis homologs of rat L-gulono-1,4-lactone (L-GulL) oxidase, AtGulLOs, in the biosynthesis of L-ascorbic acid (AsA), transgenic tobacco cells overexpressing the various AtGulLOs were generated. Under treatment with L-GulL, the levels of total AsA in three transgenic tobacco cell lines, overexpressing AtGulLO2, 3, or 5, were significantly increased as compared with those in control cells. 相似文献

Polylactic acid is receiving increasing attention as a renewable alternative for conventional petroleum-based plastics. In the present study, we constructed a metabolically-engineered Candida utilis strain that produces L-lactic acid with the highest efficiency yet reported in yeasts. Initially, the gene encoding pyruvate decarboxylase (CuPDC1) was identified, followed by four CuPDC1 disruption events in order to obtain a null mutant that produced little ethanol (a by-product of L-lactic acid). Two copies of the L-lactate dehydrogenase (L-LDH) gene derived from Bos taurus under the control of the CuPDC1 promoter were then integrated into the genome of the CuPdc1-null deletant. The resulting strain produced 103.3 g/l of L-lactic acid from 108.7 g/l of glucose in 33 h, representing a 95.1% conversion. The maximum production rate of L-lactic acid was 4.9 g/l/h. The optical purity of the L-lactic acid was found to be more than 99.9% e.e. 相似文献

An L-isoleucine-overproducing recombinant strain of E. coli, TVD5, was also found to overproduce L-valine. The L-isoleucine productivity of TVD5 was markedly decreased by addition of L-lysine to the medium. Introduction of a gene encoding feedback-resistant aspartokinase III increased L-isoleucine productivity and decreased L-valine by-production. The resulting strain accumulated 12 g/l L-isoleucine from 40 g/l glucose, and suppression of L-isoleucine productivity by L-lysine was relieved. 相似文献

D-Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 and unnatural L-Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 were prepared in gram-quantities from D- and L-2,6-di-O-benzyl-myo-inositol by a chemical phosphorylation and deprotection step in high yield and purity without extensive purification. The optically pure benzyl derivatives were obtained by enzyme-catalyzed resolution of racemic 2,6-di-O-benzyl-myo-inositol under acyl-transfer conditions in vinyl acetate as the acyl donor. The lipase of Candida antarctica only acetylated regio- and enantio-selectively the L-enantiomer, providing exclusively L-5-acetyl-2,6-di-O-benzyl-myo-inositol, whereas the D-enantiomer remained unchanged. 相似文献

The substrate specificity and the mode of action of the protease from Streptomyces cellulosae were investigated, using many kinds of peptides and proteins as substrates. The protease hydrolyzed peptides consisting of hydrophobic amino acids such as L-Phe-L-Leu-NH2, L-Pro-L-Phe-NH2, l-Leu-L-Met, L-Leu-L-Leu, Gly-L-Ile, L-Phe-L-Phe, L-Pro-L-Leu-Gly-NH2, etc. The protease hydrolyzed zein best among the proteins tested, but weakly hydrolyzed gelatin, myoglobin, bovine serum albumin, γ-globulin, and collagen. The protease mainly hydrolyzed Ser12-Leu13, Leu13-Tyr14, and Tyr14-Gln15 bonds in the oxidized A-chain of insulin and at least the Leu15-Tyr16 bond in the oxidized B-chain of insulin. 相似文献

Depsipeptides are peptide-like polymers consisting of amino acids and hydroxy acids, and are expected to be new functional materials for drug-delivery systems and polymer science. In our previous study, D-alanyl-D-lactate, a type of depsipeptide, was enzymatically synthesized using D-alanine-D-alanine ligase from Thermotoga maritima ATCC 43589 (TmDdl) by Y207F substitution. Thereafter, in this study, further mutagenesis was introduced, based on structural comparison between TmDdl and a well-characterized D-alanine-D-alanine ligase from Escherichia coli. The S137A/Y207F mutant showed higher D-alanyl-D-lactate and lower D-alanyl-D-alanine synthesizing activity than the Y207F mutant. This suggests that substitution at the S137 residue contributes to product selectivity. Saturated mutagenesis on S137 revealed that the S137G/Y207F mutant showed the highest D-alanyl-D-lactate synthesizing activity. Moreover, the mutant showed broad substrate specificity toward D-amino acid and recognized D-lactate and D,L-isoserine as substrates. On the basis of these characteristics, various depsipeptides can be produced using S137G/Y207F-replaced TmDdl. 相似文献

A correlation between the quantitative changes in L-methionine analogs, the ratio of D-serine/L-serine during the pupal stage, and metamorphosis was observed. The glycoside appearing at low blood sugar values during the pupal stage was isolated and characterized as D-glucosyl-L-tyrosine. 1H-NMR indicated the appearance and increase of this glycoside, and Mirrorcle Ray CV4 equipment was used to take X-ray pictures of the pupal bodies. The results indicate that γ-cyclic di-L-glutamate and L-methionine sulfone might be concerned with ammonia assimilation in the pupae, and that D-glucosyl-L-tyrosine served as a switch for the fatty acid (pupal oil) dissimilation hybrid system. 相似文献

2,3-Diaminopropionate ammonia-lyase (DAPAL), which catalyzes α,β-elimination of 2,3-diaminopropionate regardless of its stereochemistry, was purified from Salmonella typhimurium. We cloned the Escherichia coli ygeX gene encoding a putative DAPAL and purified the gene product to homogeneity. The protein obtained contained pyridoxal 5′-phosphate and was composed of two identical subunits with a calculated molecular weight of 43,327. It catalyzed the α,β-elimination of both D- and L-2,3-diaminopropionate. The results confirmed that ygeX encoded DAPAL. The enzyme acted on D-serine, but its catalytic efficiency was only 0.5% that with D-2,3-diaminopropionate. The enzymologic properties of E. coli DAPAL resembled those of Salmonella DAPAL, except that L-serine, D- and L-β-Cl-alanine were inert as substrates of the enzyme from E. coli. DAPAL had significant sequence similarity with the catalytic domain of L-threonine dehydratase, which is a member of the fold-type II group of pyridoxal phosphate enzymes, together with D-serine dehydratase and mammalian serine racemase. 相似文献

Enzymes that catalyze the conversion of organohalogen compounds have been attracting a great deal of attention, partly because of their possible applications in environmental technology and the chemical industry. We have studied the mechanisms of enzymatic degradation of various organic halo acids. In the reaction of L-2-haloacid dehalogenase and fluoroacetate dehalogenase, the carboxylate group of the catalytic aspartate residue nucleophilically attacked the α-carbon atom of the substrates to displace the halogen atom. In the reaction catalyzed by DL-2-haloacid dehalogenase, a water molecule directly attacked the substrate to displace the halogen atom. In the course of studies on the metabolism of 2-chloroacrylate, we discovered two new enzymes. 2-Haloacrylate reductase catalyzed the asymmetric reduction of 2-haloacrylate to produce L-2-haloalkanoic acid in an NADPH-dependent manner. 2-Haloacrylate hydratase catalyzed the hydration of 2-haloacrylate to produce pyruvate. The enzyme is unique in that it catalyzes the non-redox reaction in an FADH(2)-dependent manner. 相似文献

Bacillus licheniformis L-arabinose isomerase (BLAI) with a broad pH range, high substrate specificity, and high catalytic efficiency for L-arabinose was immobilized on various supports. Eupergit C, activated-carboxymethylcellulose, CNBr-activated agarose, chitosan, and alginate were tested as supports, and Eupergit C was selected as the most effective. After determination of the optimum enzyme concentration, the effects of pH and temperature were investigated using a response surface methodology. The immobilized BLAI enzyme retained 86.4% of the activity of the free enzyme. The optimal pH for the immobilized BLAI was 8.0, and immobilization improved the optimal temperature from 50 °C (free enzyme) to a range between 55 and 65 °C. The half life improved from 2 at 50 °C to 212 h at 55 °C following immobilization. The immobilized BLAI was used for semi-continuous production of L-ribulose. After 8 batch cycles, 95.1% of the BLAI activity was retained. This simple immobilization procedure and the high stability of the final immobilized BLAI on Eupergit C provide a promising solution for large-scale production of L-ribulose from an inexpensive L-arabinose precursor. 相似文献

In the last few decades, enzymatic production of 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl-L-alanine (L-dopa) using tyrosine phenol-lyase (Tpl) has been industrialized. This method has an intrinsic problem of tyrosine contamination because Tpl is synthesized under tyrosine-induced conditions. Herein, we constructed a hyper-L-dopa-producing strain by exploiting a mutant TyrR, an activator of tpl. The highest productivity was obtained for the strain grown under non-induced conditions. It was 30-fold higher than that obtained for tyrosine-induced wild-type cells. 相似文献

An X-ray crystal structural analysis revealed that (2S,3S)-N-acetyl-2-amino-3-methylpentanoic acid (N-acetyl-L-isoleucine; Ac-L-Ile) and (2R,3S)-N-acetyl-2-amino-3-methylpentanoic acid (N-acetyl-D-alloisoleucine; Ac-D-aIle) formed a molecular compound containing one Ac-L-Ile molecule and one Ac-D-aIle molecule as an unsymmetrical unit. This molecular compound is packed with strong hydrogen bonds forming homogeneous chains consisting of Ac-L-Ile molecules or Ac-D-aIle molecules and weak hydrogen bonds connecting these homogeneous chains in a fashion similar to that observed for Ac-L-Ile and Ac-D-aIle. Recrystallization of an approximately 1:1 mixture of Ac-L-Ile and Ac-D-aIle from water gave an equimolar molecular compound due to its lower solubility than that of Ac-D-aIle or especially Ac-L-Ile. The results suggest that the equimolar mixture of Ac-L-Ile and Ac-D-aIle could be obtained from an Ac-L-Ile-excess mixture by recystallization from water. 相似文献
