Asymmetric synthesis of l-tert-leucine and l-3-hydroxyadamantylglycine using branched chain aminotransferase
摘要:
L-Tert-leucine (Tle) and L-3-hydroxyadamantylglycine of (HAG) are important intermediates for a variety of pharmaceutical classes. They were asymmetrically produced from corresponding keto acids using branched-chain aminotransferase (SCAT) with L-glutamate (Glu) as an amino donor. For the production of L-Tle and L-HAG, BCAT from Enterobacter sp. TL3 (BCATen) and BCAT from Escherichia coli K12 (ilvE, newly named as BCATes) were used, respectively. In our current study, we characterized the basic properties of BCATen and BCATes such as substrate specificity, enantioselectivity, and kinetic parameters. The activities of BCATen and BCATes were inhibited severely by alpha-ketoglutarate which is a deaminated product of L-Glu. In the presence of 10 mM alpha-ketoglutarate, both enzymes activities were reduced up to 80%. In order to overcome product inhibition by alpha-ketoglutarate and the problem of equilibrium of the transamination reaction, coupling reactions were carried out with L-glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH)/formate dehydrogenase (FDH) and AspAT. The coupling reaction dramatically increased the yields of both target compounds. 135 mM of L-Tle (>99% ee)was produced from 150 mM corresponding keto acid in BCATen/GDH/FDH coupling reaction with 90% conversion. In addition, 90.5 mM L-HAG (>99% ee) was produced from 100 mM corresponding keto acid in BCATes/AspAT coupling reaction using recombinant whole-cells. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The present disclosure relates to a method for preparing an optically active amino acid using cosubstrate shuttling of transaminase. The method includes coupling a reaction of converting a keto acid to an amino acid by α-transaminase and a reaction of transferring an amino group of an amine substrate by ω-transaminase (TA) using an amino acid cosubstrate. The present disclosure allows production of various optically active amino acids with high purity and high efficiency by solving the low equilibrium constant problem of transaminase and is applicable to production of various optically active amino acids in industrial scale. Since the present disclosure allows easy production of various unnatural amino acids having high reactivity and stability, which are used as pharmaceutical precursors, it can be usefully employed in preparation of pharmaceuticals, food additives and various animal feeds.

Enantiopure aliphatic amino acids, including 1-3-hydroxyadamantylglycine (L-Hag), L-tert-leucine (L-Tle) and L-norvaline, are essential chiral building blocks for a number of pharmaceutical drugs. Here, we developed cascade enzyme reactions in an extractive biphasic system using a branched-chain amino acid transaminase (BCTA) and an (S)-selective omega-transaminase (omega-TA) for asymmetric synthesis of the aliphatic amino acids from achiral alpha-keto acid precursors. The extractive cascade reactions enabled equilibrium shift of the BCTA reaction by recycling an amino acid cosubstrate as well as acceleration of the omega-TA reaction by removing an inhibitory ketone product from an aqueous phase. Starting with 20 mM alpha-keto acid, 4 mM rac-homoalanine and 50 mM rac-alpha-methylbenzylamine (rac-alpha-MBA), the biphasic cascade reactions afforded synthesis of four unnatural amino acids (i.e., L-Tle, L-Hag, L-norvaline and L-norleucine) and two natural amino acids (i.e., L-valine and L-Leucine) with >92% conversion yield and >99.9% ee. To demonstrate the industrial feasibility of the extractive cascade reaction, preparative-scale synthesis of L-Hag was performed in a reaction mixture consisting of 300 mL hexane and 50 mL aqueous solution (50 mM phosphate buffer, pH 7.0) charged with 50 mM keto acid substrate, 5 mM L-homoalanine, 120 mM rac-alpha-MBA, 2 U/mL BCTA and 16 U/mL omega-TA. Conversion yield of L-Hag reached 92% with >99.9% ee at 70 h. Product isolation led to 0.32 g white solid of L-Hag (62 % isolation yield). (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
