L-2-氨基丁酸(L-ABA)是一种重要的化工原材料和手性医药中间体,为了实现L-ABA的高效生产,本研究在大肠杆菌EscherichiacoliBL21(DE3)中分别表达大肠杆菌来源的苏氨酸脱氨酶(Threonine deaminase,TD)、苏云金芽孢杆菌来源的亮氨酸脱氢酶(Leucine dehydrogenase,LDH)和博伊丁假丝酵母来源的甲酸脱氢酶(Formatedehydrogenase,FDH),构建体外级联酶催化反应实现L-苏氨酸向L-ABA的转化,体系中TD、LDH和FDH添加最适比例为1∶1∶0.2。为了简化生产工艺,将3种酶在一株菌E. coli 3FT+L中共表达并实现上述配比,在30 L发酵罐中用E. coli 3FT+L全细胞转化12 h,L-ABA的产量为68.5 g/L,底物L-苏氨酸的摩尔转化率达到99.0%。该工艺路线绿色高效,为未来大规模生产L-ABA提供借鉴。     

亮氨酸脱氢酶C端Loop区域的理性设计及多酶级联高效合成l-2-氨基丁酸

亮氨酸脱氢酶 (Leucine dehydrogenase,LDH) 是制备l-2-氨基丁酸的关键限速酶,针对该酶的Loop区域进行改造以提高关键酶的酶活及稳定性从而高效合成l-2-氨基丁酸。通过亮氨酸脱氢酶的分子动力学模拟分析均方根涨落 (Root mean square fluctuation,RMSF) 值,对其波动非常明显的Loop区域合理设计以得到比酶活提高的截短突变体EsLDHD2,其比酶活为野生型的123.2%;此外,由于l-2-氨基丁酸制备过程中苏氨酸脱氨酶催化l-苏氨酸制备2-酮丁酸的速率过快导致多酶催化不平衡,因此双拷贝亮氨酸脱氢酶及甲酸脱氢酶以平衡多酶催化速率,构建多酶级联催化的单细胞E. coli BL21/pACYCDuet-RM,其摩尔转化率相较于E. coli BL21/pACYCDuet-RO提高74.6%;对菌株E. coli BL21/pACYCDuet-RM的全细胞转化条件进行优化,其最适pH、温度、底物浓度分别为7.5、35 ℃和80 g/L,此时摩尔转化率大于99%;在1 L转化体系和最适转化条件下分批加入l-苏氨酸80 g和40 g,l-2-氨基丁酸的产量达97.2 g。总之,该策略为l-2-氨基丁酸的制备提供了绿色、高效的合成方法,具有工业化制备药物前体的巨大潜力。

谷氨酸棒杆菌NAD激酶的过表达对L-异亮氨酸合成的促进作用

NAD激酶催化辅酶Ⅰ[NAD(H)]发生磷酸化,转变成辅酶Ⅱ[NADP(H)],而还原态辅酶Ⅱ(NADPH)是L-异亮氨酸合成的必要辅因子。为了提高NADPH的供应,首先克隆了谷氨酸棒杆菌NAD激酶基因ppnK,并利用大肠杆菌-棒状杆菌诱导型穿梭表达载体pDXW-8和组成型穿梭表达载体pDXW-9在L-异亮氨酸合成菌——乳糖发酵短杆菌JHI3-156中进行表达。摇瓶发酵后,ppnK诱导表达菌JHI3-156/pDXW-8-ppnK的NAD激酶酶活(4.33±0.74 U/g)比pDXW-8空载菌提高了83.5%,辅酶Ⅱ与辅酶Ⅰ的比例提高了63.8%,L-异亮氨酸产量(3.86±0.12 g/L)提高了82.9%;ppnK组成表达菌JHI3-156/pDXW-9-ppnK的NAD激酶酶活(7.67±0.65 U/g)比pDXW-9空载菌提高了2.20倍,辅酶Ⅱ与辅酶Ⅰ的比例提高了1.34倍,NADPH含量提高了21.7%,L-异亮氨酸产量(2.99±0.18 g/L)提高了41.7%。这说明NAD激酶有助于辅酶Ⅱ的供应和L-异亮氨酸的生物合成,这对于其他氨基酸的生产也有一定的参考依据。

Continuous production of 3-fluoro-L-alanine with alanine dehydrogenase

Alanine dehydrogenase catalyzed the conversion of 3-fluoropyruvate into 3-fluoro-L-alanine in the presence of NADH and ammonia. The optimum pH of the reaction was 7.8. The K(m) values of the enzyme for 3-fluoropyruvate, polyethylene glycol-bound NADH, and ammonia were 2.94, 0.56, and 105mM, respectively. 3-Fluoro-L-alanine was selectively and continuously produced from 3-fluoropyruvate and ammonium formate in an enzyme membrane reactor by the multienzyme reaction system of alanine dehydrogenase and formate dehydrogenase with a simultaneous coenzyme regeneration. The average conversion and the space-time yield were 73% and 75 g/L day, respectively, with operation of the reactor for 4 days. Alanine dehydrogenase and formate dehydrogenase consumed were 11, 370 and 22, 950 units/kg 3-fluoro-L-alanine, respectively. The cycle number was 3150 mol/mol NAD.     

Biotransformation of R-2-hydroxy-4-phenylbutyric acid by D-lactate dehydrogenase and Candida boidinii cells containing formate dehydrogenase coimmobilized in a fibrous bed bioreactor

R-2-hydroxy-4-phenylbutyric acid (R-HPBA) is an important intermediate in the manufacture of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors. In this work, a recombinant D-lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was used to transform 2-oxo-4-phenylbutyric acid (OPBA) to R-HPBA, with concomitant oxidation of beta-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) to NAD(+). The cofactor NADH was regenerated by formate dehydrogenase (FDH) present in whole cells of Candida boidinii, which were pre-treated with toluene to make them permeable. The whole cells used in the process were more stable and easier to prepare as compared with the isolated FDH from the cells. Kinetic study showed that the reaction rate was dependent on the concentration of cofactor, NAD(+), and that both R-HPBA and OPBA inhibited the reaction. A novel method for co-immobilization of whole cells and LDH enzyme on cotton cloth was developed using polyethyleneimine (PEI), which induced the formation of PEI-enzyme-cell aggregates and their adsorption onto cotton cloth, leading to multilayer co-immobilization of cells and enzyme with high loading (0.5 g cell and 8 mg LDH per gram of cotton cloth) and activity yield ( > 95%). A fibrous bed bioreactor with co-immobilized cells and enzyme on the cotton cloth was then evaluated for R-HPBA production in fed-batch and repeated batch modes, which gave relatively stable reactor productivity of 9 g/L . h and product yield of 0.95 mol/mol OPBA when the concentrations of OPBA and R-HPBA were less than 10 g/L.     

Synthesis of allysine ethylene acetal using phenylalanine dehydrogenase from Thermoactinomyces intermedius

Allysine ethylene acetal [(S)-2-amino-5-(1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)-pentanoic acid (2)] was prepared from the corresponding keto acid by reductive amination using phenylalanine dehydrogenase (PDH) from Thermoactinomyces intermedius ATCC 33205. Glutamate, alanine, and leucine dehydrogenases, and PDH from Sporosarcina species (listed in order of increasing effectiveness) also gave the desired amino acid but were less effective. The reaction requires ammonia and NADH. NAD produced during the reaction was recyled to NADH by the oxidation of formate to CO(2) using formate dehydrogenase (FDH). PDH was produced by growth of T. intermedius ATCC 33205 or by growth of recombinant Escherichia coli or Pichia pastoris expressing the Thermoactinomyces enzyme. Using heat-dried T. intermedius as a source of PDH and heat-dried Candida boidinii SC13822 as a source of FDH,98%, but production of T. intermedius could not be scaled up. Using heat-dried recombinant E. coli as a source of PDH and heat-dried Candida boidinii 98%. In a third generation process, heat-dried methanol-grown P. pastoris expressing endogenous FDH and recombinant Thermoactinomyces98% ee.     

Engineering of a novel biochemical pathway for the biosynthesis of L-2-aminobutyric acid in Escherichia coli K12

L-2-Aminobutyric acid was synthesised in a transamination reaction from L-threonine and L-aspartic acid as substrates in a whole cell biotransformation using recombinant Escherichia coli K12. The cells contained the cloned genes tyrB, ilvA and alsS which respectively encode tyrosine aminotransferase of E. coli, threonine deaminase of E. coli and alpha-acetolactate synthase of B. subtilis 168. The 2-aminobutyric acid was produced by the action of the aminotransferase on 2-ketobutyrate and L-aspartate. The 2-ketobutyrate is generated in situ from L-threonine by the action of the deaminase, and the pyruvate by-product is eliminated by the acetolactate synthase. The concerted action of the three enzymes offers significant yield and purity advantages over the process using the transaminase alone with an eight to tenfold increase in the ratio of product to the major impurity.     

Regeneration of NAD(H) covalently bound to formate dehydrogenase with several second enzymes

Summary N ⁶-[N-(6-Aminohexyl)carbamoylmethyl]-NAD was covalently bound to formate dehydrogenase. The formate dehydrogenase-NAD complex, which contained 0.2 mol of reactive NAD moiety per subunit, functioned as an NAD(H)-regeneration system for a second coupled reaction involving one of the following enzymes; lactate, malate, alanine and leucine dehydrogenases, whose reductive reactions proceeded stoichiometrically in the absence of exogenous NAD.     

Accumulation of pyruvate by changing the redox status in Escherichia coli

Pyruvate was produced from glucose by Escherichia coli BW25113 that contained formate dehydrogenase (FDH) from Mycobacterium vaccae. In aerobic shake-flask culture (K (L) a?=?4.9?min(-1)), the recombinant strain produced 6.7?g pyruvate?l(-1) after 24?h with 4?g sodium formate?l(-1) and a yield of 0.34?g pyruvate?g?glucose(-1). These values were higher than those of the original strain (0.2?g?l(-1) pyruvate and 0.02?g pyruvate?g?glucose(-1)). Based on the reaction mechanism of FDH, the introduction of FDH into E. coli enhances the accumulation of pyruvate by the regeneration of NADH from NAD(+) since NAD(+) is a shared cosubstrate with the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, which decarboxylates pyruvate to acetyl-CoA and CO(2). The oxygenation level was enough high to inactivate lactate dehydrogenase, which was of benefit to pyruvate accumulation without lactate as a by-product.
