Abstract: | To facilitate the easier production of d-amino acids using N-carbamyl-d-amino acid amidohydrolase (DCase) in an immobilized form, we improved the enzymatic thermostability of highly soluble DCase-M3 of Ralstonia pickettii using directed mutagenesis. Six novel mutation sites were identified in this study, apart from several thermostability-related amino acid sites reported previously. The most thermostable mutant, in which the 12th amino acid had been changed from glutamine to leucine, showed a 7 °C increase in thermostability. Comparative characterization of the parental and mutant DCases showed that although there was a slight reduction in the oxidative stability of the mutants, their kinetic properties and high solubility were not affected. The mutated enzymes are expected to be applied to the development of a fully enzymatic process for the industrial production of d-amino acids. |
