Abstract:
The object of the present invention is to prepare a recombinant DNA efficiently co-expressing genes of enzymes such as HHase, and to produce an amino acid efficiently from hydantoin by utilizing such a recombinant DNA. The present invention provides a recombinant DNA having base sequences encoding the following gene regions (I) and (II) incorporated therein in a predetermined direction and in a predetermined order to produce an amino acid efficiently: (I) a gene region containing a base sequence encoding a hydantoinase gene and a trp promoter sequence located upstream of the base sequence encoding the hydantoinase gene regulating expression of the hydantoinase gene, and (II) a gene region containing a base sequence encoding a carbamylase gene and a trp promoter sequence located upstream of the base sequence encoding the carbamylase gene regulating expression of the carbamylase gene.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a production method of D-alloisoleucine, a protected compound thereof or a salt thereof, which is industrially useful, and which efficiently produces D-alloisoleucine having a high purity, a protected compound thereof and a salt thereof, and more particularly, a method including steps (a) to (c): (a) carbamoylating L-isoleucine to give L-(N-carbamoyl)isoleucine, (b) conducting intramolecular dehydration condensation of L-(N-carbamoyl)isoleucine to give L-5-sec-butylhydantoin, and (c) conducting an enzyme reaction of L-5-sec-butylhydantoin with hydantoin racemase (HRase), D-hydantoinase (D-HHase) and N-carbamoyl-D-amino acid hydrolase (D-CHase) to give D-alloisoleucine.
Abstract:
A process for industrially advantageously producing a dipeptide via a convenient pathway starting with less expensive and easily available materials is provided. A dipeptide is produced from an L-amino acid amide and an L-amino acid by using a culture of a microbe capable of synthesizing the dipeptide from the L-amino acid amide and the L-amino acid, microbial cells separated from the culture or a treated microbial cell product from the microbe. An L-amino acid amide hydrolase is obtained from a microbe belonging to the genus erwinia, genus Rhodococcus, genus Chryseobacterium, genus Micrococcus, genus Cryptococcus, genus Trichosporion, genus Rhodosporidium, genus Sporobolomyces, genus Tremela, genus Torulaspora, genus Sterigmatomyces or genus Rhodotorula. The hydrolase catalyzes a reaction that produces a dipeptide from an L-amino acid amide and an L-amino acid.
