摘要:
Disclosed is a method for preparing an R- or S-forms of null-substituted heterocyclic carboxylic acid (null-HCCA) and a counter enantiomeric form of null-substituted heterocyclic carboxylic acid ester thereto by use of an enzyme. A racemic null-HCCA is reacted with alcohol to give a racemic null-HCCA ester, which is then brought into contact with an enzyme with enantioselectivity, whereby either R-form or S-form of the racemate is hydrolyzed. Extraction with an organic solvent can obtain enantiomers of the null-HCCA ester. Thus, a certain enantiomeric form of null-HCCA and a counter enantiomeric form of null-HCCA ester thereto, respectively can be prepared with high optical purity at high yields as well as at low cost.

Recombinant microbial strains are provided that express nitrilase enzyme and are useful as biocatalysts for the hydrolysis of nitrile-containing substrates. The recombinant cells are transformed with a foreign gene isolated from Acidovorax facilis 72W encoding a thermostable nitrilase enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of nitrile-containing substrates to carboxylic acids under mild reaction conditions. The nucleotide sequence of the nitrilase gene and the deduced amino acid sequence encoded by the nitrilase gene are provided.
