Cloning and co-expression of D-amino acid oxidase and glutaryl-7-aminocephalosporanic acid acylase genes in Escherichia coli

To convert cephalosporin C to 7-aminocephalosporin (7-ACA), a D-amino acid oxidase (DAAO) gene from Trigonopsis variabilis and a glutaryl-7-aminocephalosporanic acid acylase (GL-7-ACA acylase) gene from Pseudomonas were cloned and expressed in recombinant Escherichia coli. For DAAO recombinant strain BL21(DE3)/pET-DAAO, a high DAAO activity of 250 U ml⁻¹ was obtained by a fed-batch culture. A GL-7-ACA acylase gene, in which the signal peptide sequence was deleted, was also successfully expressed in a recombinant E. coli BL21(DE3)/pET-ACY with a high expression level of 3000 U l⁻¹. A novel recombinant strain, BL21(DE3)/pET-DA, harboring both genes of DAAO and GL-7-ACA acylase, was further constructed, and a rather high DAAO activity of 140 U ml⁻¹ and GL-7-ACA acylase activity of 950 U l⁻¹ were simultaneously obtained. This recombinant strain, in which two genes are co-expressed, made it possible to catalyze cephalosporin C into 7-ACA directly.     

Two novel engineered bacteria for secretory expression of glutaryl 7-amino-cephalosporanic acid acylase

Two novel engineered bacteria, BL21(DE3)/pETCA1S and TG1/pSuperCA1S, were obtained which can secretory express the gene encoding glutaryl 7-amino-cephalosporanic acid acylase (GL-7ACA acylase) from Pseudomonas sp. 130 with high activity. The growth conditions of transformants for overproduction of GL-7ACA acylase were optimized: in intact cells of BL21(DE3)/pETCA1S and TG1/pSuperCA1S the activity of GL-7ACA acylase was 415 and 600 units g^–1 dry cells, respectively. The highest specific activity of GL-7-ACA acylase is in the intact cell as compared with that of transformants constructed in our laboratory. In fiftieth generation of mutants transferred on agar plates the specific activity of GL-7ACA acylase remained constant.     

Thermal and Operational Characteristics of Glutaryl-7-aminocephalosporanic acid Acylase Immobilized on Silica Gel Modified by Epoxide Silanization

Summary In this study, an investigation was performed into the thermal and operational characteristics of glutaryl-7-aminocephalosporanic acid (GL-7-ACA) acylase (EC 3.5.1.-) immobilized on silica gel that had been modified by epoxide silanization. The pH values for the optimum activity of free and immobilized GL-7-ACA acylase were almost the same. However, the pH-dependent activity profile for the immobilized GL-7-ACA acylase is considerably expanded. Both free and immobilized enzymes generally had the highest activity at 50 °C. In thermodynamic studies, it was found that immobilization using epoxide silanization made GL-7-ACA acylase thermodynamically stable. In the results of repeated batch production of 7-ACA, 89.0 and 83.5% of the 7-ACA produced at the initial cycle were maintained after 20 times of recycle at 25 °C and 30 °C, respectively. Hence it was suggested that mass production of 7-ACA at 25 °C using immobilized GL-7-ACA acylase by epoxide silanization would be possible on a large scale.     

Screening and characterization of glutaryl-7-aminocephalosporanic acid acylase from Pseudomonas sp.

Summary Three screening methods were used to isolate GL-7-ACA acylase-producing strains. Three positive isolates were identified with Pseudomonas nitroreducens CCRC 11041 possessing the highest activity, against GL-7-ACA and GL-7-ADCA. No activity was detected when Ceph C or succinyl-7-ACA was used as substrate; glutaric acid was found to be inhibitory. CCRC 11041 could produce maximal GL-7-ACA acylase activity when cultivated on meat extract medium II. The enzyme had a pH optimum of 5.0 and a temperature optimum of 42°C.     

Deacylation activity of cephalosporin acylase to cephalosporin C is improved by changing the side-chain conformations of active-site residues

Semisynthetic cephalosporins are primarily synthesized from 7-aminocephalosporanic acid (7-ACA), mainly by environmentally toxic chemical deacylation of cephalosporin C (CPC). Thus, the enzymatic conversion of CPC to 7-ACA by cephalosporin acylase (CA) would be very interesting. However, CAs use glutaryl-7-ACA (GL-7-ACA) as a primary substrate and the enzymes have low turnover rates for CPC. The active-site residues of a CA were mutagenized to various residues to increase the deacylation activity of CPC, based on the active-site conformation of the CA structure. The aim was to generate sterically favored conformation of the active-site to accommodate the D-alpha-aminoadipyl moiety of CPC, the side-chain moiety that corresponds to the glutaryl moiety of GL-7-ACA. A triple mutant of the CA, Q50betaM/Y149alphaK/F177betaG, showed the greatest improvement of deacylation activity to CPC up to 790% of the wild-type. Our current study is an efficient method for improving the deacylation activity to CPC by employing the structure-based repetitive saturation mutagenesis.     

Cloning and high expression of glutaryl 7-aminocephalosporanic acid acylase gene from Pseudomonas diminuta

The gene coding for the glutaryl 7-aminocephalosporanic acid (GL 7-ACA) acylase from Pseudomonas diminuta KAC-1 was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The acylase gene was composed of 2160 base pairs and encoded a polypeptide of 720 amino acid residues. The E. coli BL21 carrying pET2, the plasmid construct for high expression of GL 7-ACA acylase gene, produced this enzyme at approx. 30% of the total proteins with 3.2 units activity mg protein^–1. Growth at temperature below 31 °C and deletion of signal peptide increased the processing of precursor acylase to active enzyme in the recombinant E. coli cells.     

Affinity labeled glutaryl-7-amino cephalosporanic acid acylase C130 can hydrolyze the inhibitor during crystallization

7Beta-bromoacetyl amino cephalosporanic acid (BA-7-ACA), an analog of glutaryl-7-amino cephalosporanic acid (GL-7-ACA), can inhibit and specifically alkylate GL-7-ACA acylase (C130) from Pseudomonas sp.130, forming a carbon-carbon bond between BA-7-ACA and the C-2 on indole ring of Trp-beta4 residue of C130. Here we reported that BA-7-ACA labeled C130 (BA-C130) could self-catalyze the hydrolysis of BA-7-ACA during crystallization process. The hydrolysis was confirmed to be a reaction analogous to the one of GL-7-ACA by comparative matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) spectrometry analysis. BA-C130 was inactive at room temperature, but in the process of crystallization at 18 degrees C it catalyzed the hydrolysis of BA-7-ACA, and thus made the latter become a substrate. Meanwhile, in crystals, 7-ACA was released but the acetic acid still bound with Trp-beta4, and as a result, the enzyme remained to be inactive. These results demonstrated that Trp-beta4 in the alphabetabetaalpha motif was critical and sensitive for the activity of C130 and also suggested that there was a conformational change induced by deacylation during the process of crystallization.     

Expression and fermentation optimization of oxidized polyvinyl alcohol hydrolase in E. coli

Oxidized polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrolase (OPH) is a key enzyme in the degradation of PVA, suggesting that OPH has a great potential for application in textile desizing processes. In this study, the OPH gene from Sphingopyxis sp. 113P3 was modified, by artificial synthesis, for overexpression in Escherichia coli. The OPH gene, lacking the sequence encoding the original signal peptide, was inserted into pET-20b (+) expression vector, which was then used to transform E. coli BL21 (DE3). OPH expression was detected in culture medium in which the transformed E. coli BL21 (DE3) was grown. Nutritional and environmental conditions were investigated for improved production of OPH protein by the recombinant strain. The highest OPH activity measured was 47.54 U/mL and was reached after 84 h under optimal fermentation conditions; this level is 2.64-fold higher that obtained under sub-optimal conditions. The productivity of recombinant OPH reached 565.95 U/L/h. The effect of glycine on the secretion of recombinant OPH was examined by adding glycine to the culture medium to a final concentration of 200 mM. This concentration of glycine reduced the fermentation time by 24 h and increased the productivity of recombinant OPH to 733.17 U/L/h. Our results suggest that the recombinant strain reported here has great potential for use in industrial applications.     

Environmentally Safe Production of 7-ACA by Recombinant Acremonium chrysogenum

7-Amino cephalosporanic acid (7-ACA), which is currently obtained by chemical deacylation from cephalosporin C (CPC), is a major intermediate for industrial production of β-lactam antibiotics. 7-ACA can also be produced from CPC by enzymatic route including two-step and one-step procedures. In our research, an ecs gene coding for CPC acylase was synthesized and cloned into pET-28a(+) to construct an E. coli expression plasmid pYG232. E. coli BL21(DE3) bearing pYG232 was induced by IPTG and successfully expressed the recombinant ECS (88.9 kDa). Under the optimal conditions: 0.5 mg/ml purified ECS protein, 5 mg/ml CPC, 100 mM Tris–Cl (pH 9.6), supplement with 7 mM Zn²⁺, slightly shaking for 6 h at 25°C, the transformation productivity was 54.4%. Then, ecs was cloned downstream of an A. chrysogenum endogenous promotor, PpcbC, to construct pYG233 for expression in A. chrysogenum. pYG233 was introduced into a CPC high-producer via integrative transformation of protoplasts. Two independent bleomycin-resistant transformants were investigated by PCR, Southern blotting, quantitative RT–PCR, western blotting, and fermentation. Although these two transformants both have one copy of integrated ecs, they showed different expression level of ECS protein and 7-ACA production. When concentration of CaCO₃ was reduced to 50 mM, ZnSO₄ was increased to 7 mM, CuSO₄ was eliminated from the fermentation media, and the pH was adjusted to 8.0 at day 4 during fermentation, 7-ACA production of one of the transformants could reach 1701 μg/ml, indicated that more than 30% of CPC produced by this high-producer have been transformed into 7-ACA directly in vivo. This is the highest 7-ACA production by direct fermentation ever reported.
