Hydantoinases and related enzymes as biocatalysts for the synthesis of unnatural chiral amino acids.
Altenbuchner J., Siemann-Herzberg M., Syldatk C.
A cascade of hydantoinase, N-carbamoylase and hydantoinracemase can be used for the production of natural and unnatural chiral D- and L-amino acids from chemically synthesized hydantoin derivatives. Potentially, 100% conversion and 100% optically pure amino acids can be obtained at the same time i ... >> More
A cascade of hydantoinase, N-carbamoylase and hydantoinracemase can be used for the production of natural and unnatural chiral D- and L-amino acids from chemically synthesized hydantoin derivatives. Potentially, 100% conversion and 100% optically pure amino acids can be obtained at the same time if racemic substrates are used. Recent research activities concentrate on newly isolated or improved enzymes and include directed evolution techniques, structure elucidation, studies of fusion proteins and the use of specially designed whole cell biocatalysts. << Less

N-Carbamoyl-L-amino acid amidohydrolases (L-carbamoylases) are important industrial enzymes used in kinetic resolution of racemic mixtures of N-carbamoyl-amino acids due to their strict enantiospecificity. In this work, we report the first L-carbamoylase structure belonging to Geobacillus stearothermophilus CECT43 (BsLcar), at a resolution of 2.7 Å. Structural analysis of BsLcar and several members of the peptidase M20/M25/M40 family confirmed the expected conserved residues at the active site in this family, and site-directed mutagenesis revealed their relevance to substrate binding. We also found an unexpectedly conserved arginine residue (Arg(234) in BsLcar), proven to be critical for dimerization of the enzyme. The mutation of this sole residue resulted in a total loss of activity and prevented the formation of the dimer in BsLcar. Comparative studies revealed that the dimerization domain of the peptidase M20/M25/M40 family is a "small-molecule binding domain," allowing further evolutionary considerations for this enzyme family. << Less

An N-carbamoyl-L-amino acid amidohydrolase (L-N-carbamoylase) from Sinorhizobium meliloti CECT 4114 was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant enzyme catalyzed the hydrolysis of N-carbamoyl alpha-amino acid to the corresponding free amino acid, and its purification has shown it to be strictly L-specific. The enzyme showed broad substrate specificity, and it is the first L-N-carbamoylase that hydrolyses N-carbamoyl-L-tryptophan as well as N-carbamoyl L-amino acids with aliphatic substituents. The apparent Km values for N-carbamoyl-L-methionine and tryptophan were very similar (0.65 +/-0.09 and 0.69 +/-0.08 mM, respectively), although the rate constant was clearly higher for the L-methionine precursor (14.46 +/- 0.30 s(-1)) than the L-tryptophan one (0.15 +/-0.01 s(-1)). The enzyme also hydrolyzed N-formyl-L-methionine (kcat/Km = 7.10 +/- 2.52 s(-1) x mM(-1)) and N-acetyl-L-methionine (kcat/Km = 12.16 +/-1.93 s(-1) x mM(-1)), but the rate of hydrolysis was lower than for N-carbamoyl-L-methionine (kcat/Km = 21.09 +/-2.85). This is the first L-N-carbamoylase involved in the 'hydantoinase process' that has hydrolyzed N-carbamoyl-L-cysteine, though less efficiently than N-carbamoyl-L-methionine. The enzyme did not hydrolyze ureidosuccinic acid or 3-ureidopropionic acid. The native form of the enzyme was a homodimer with a molecular mass of 90 kDa. The optimum conditions for the enzyme were 60 degrees C and pH 8.0. Enzyme activity required the presence of divalent metal ions such as Ni2+, Mn2+, Co2+ and Fe2+, and five amino acids putatively involved in the metal binding were found in the amino acid sequence. << Less
