Abstract
L-Aminoacidoxidases (LAAOs) which catalyze the stereo specific oxidative deamination of L-aminoacids to �±-keto acids and ammoniaare flavinadenine dinucleotide containing homodimeric proteins. L-Aminoacidoxidases are widely distributed in diverse organisms and have a range of properties. In thiswork, we systematially engineered the LAAO from Proteus vulgaris as a robust biocatalyst for the efficient one-step biosynthesis of a-keto acids including �±-keto glutaric acid, �±-keto- �³-methylthiobutyric acid and phenylpyruvic acid which are currently produced by multi-step chemical synthesis with heavy environmental pollution. First, the directed evolution of LAAO was done by error-pronepolymerase chain reaction (PCR) and then the site-saturation mutagensis was conducted at the mutation sites of the positive mutants yielded by error-prone PCR. The bio transformaton conditions including biocatalyst concentration, the substrates concentration, temperature and pH and so on. The maximum titers of �±-keto glutaric acid, �±-keto-�³-methylthiobutyric acid and phenylpyruvic acid are12.3 g/L, 63.6 g/ Land 11.8 g/L respectively under the specific optimal conditions. Compared with the traditional multi-step chemical synthesis our one-step biocatalytic production of a-keto acids has an advantage in terms of less environmental pollution and thus has great potential for industrial production of a-keto acids.Biography
