摘要:
The invention concerns a polypeptide which can be isolated from the Brassicaceae family and which has at least the activity of a hydroxynitrile lyase (HNL). The hydroxynitrile lyase of the invention is the first HNL from the Brassicaceae family. The plants (Arabidopsis) from which this enzyme or its gene is isolated is also described as non-cyanogenic. All HNL-containing plants described so far are cyanogenic plants and so it has until now been assumed that only cyanogenic plants contain hydroxynitrile lyases. Surprisingly, it transpires that a polypeptide (AtHNL) of the invention is (R)-selective. The amino acid sequence gives a theoretical molecular weight of 29.2 kDa for the AtHNL subunit. The calculated molecular mass of the protein of approximately 30 kDa can be confirmed by SDS gel electrophoresis.
摘要:
The present invention provides an industrially useful improved halohydrin epoxidase, a method for producing the same, and a method for producing an epihalohydrin or 4-halo-3-hydroxybutyronitrile using the same. The improved halohydrin epoxidase of the present invention consists of an amino acid sequence in which a specific amino acid substitution mutation is introduced into an amino acid sequence of a wild-type halohydrin epoxidase comprising predetermined amino acid sequences I and II.

摘要:
A method of producing a low molecular weight organic compound (e.g. a plant or bacteria secondary metabolite) in increased yields involving use of a microorganism cell, which comprises a gene involved in the biosynthesis pathway leading to a low molecular weight organic aglycon compound and a glycosyltransferase gene capable of glycosylating the produced aglycon.
摘要:
R-hydroxynitrile lyases having an improved substrate acceptance, increased activity and increased selectivity, in which there is replacement in the amino acid sequence of R-hydroxynitrile lyases from the Rosaceae family either a) of the amino acid residue which corresponds to position 360 of the mature PaHNL5 protein by another apolar amino acid or a neutral amino acid and/or b) of the amino acid residue which corresponds to position 225 of the mature PaHNL5 protein by another polar amino acid, it also being possible where appropriate for 1 to 20 further residues in the active center or in the hydrophobic channel leading to the active center to be replaced.

摘要:
A process for preparing enantiomer-enriched heterocyclic (R)- and (S)-cyanohydrins of the formula (I), where R1, R2, R3, R4 independently of one another are H, an unsubstituted or substituted C1–C24-alkyl, alkenyl or alkynyl radical, where one or more carbon atoms in the chain can be replaced by an oxygen atom, a nitrogen atom, a sulfur atom, an SO or an SO2 group, an unsubstituted or substituted aryl or heteroaryl radical or heterocyclic radical or halogen, hydroxyl, NR5R6, acetyl, oxo, C1–C6-carbalkoxy, C1–C6-carbalkoxyamino, COOR7, cyano, amide, benzoylamino or NO2,R5 and R6 are H, C1–C6-alkyl radical, phenyl radical, benzyl radical or COOR7, or together form a C2–C8-alkylene or heteroalkylene radical,R7 is H or C1–C6-alkyl,n is 0, 1, 2 or 3,X, Y and Z can be an unsubstituted or substituted carbon atom or a radical selected from the group consisting of N, O, S or NR5R6, where R5 and R6 are as defined above, SO or SO2, and at least one of the radicals X, Y and Z is not a carbon atom, where the compounds of the formula (I) can have one or more double bonds in the ring, with the proviso that in a 5-membered ring the double bond is not conjugated with the —C(OH)CN-group, and/or can be anellated and/or bridged,by reacting a ketone of the formula (II), where R1, R2, R3, R4, X, Y, Z and n have the meanings above, with an (R)- or (S)-hydroxynitrile lyase in an organic, aqueous or two-phase system, or in emulsion, in the presence of a cyanide group donor.

The invention related to R-hydroxynitrillyases from the family of Rosaceae that are characterized by an improved substrate tolerance and increased stability. In the active center of the R-hydroxynitrillyases either a) an alanine group is substituted by glycine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, or phenylalanine or b) a phenylalanine group is substituted by alanine, glycine valine, leucine or isoleucine, or c) a leucine group is substituted by alanine, glycine, valine, isoleucine or phenylalanine, or d) an isoleucine group is substituted by alanine, glycine, valine, leucine or phenylalanine. The invention also relates to the use of these lyases in the production of enantiomer-pure R- or S-cyanohydrines.
