Research Abstract

1. Amino acid amide racemizing activity was discovered in alpha-amino-epsilon-caprolactam (ACL) racemase from Achromobacter obae.
2. Amino acid amidases acting for various amino mid amides, such as D-aminopeptidase (DAP), D-amino acid amidase (DAA), were isolated from various microbial sources, their primary structures deduced and expression in E. coli were made possible.
3. The enzymatic synthesis of D-alanin from L-alanine amide has been demonstrated by use of D-aminopeptidase (DAP) from Ochrobactrum anthropi C1-38 and ACL racemase. The result of successive enzymatic reaction shows that the combination of ACL racemase and DAP can be applied for dynamic kinetic resolution of DL-amino acid amides to yield D-amino acids.
4. Structure of DAA and directed evolution of ACL racemase: We developed a colorimetric method to measure the activity of ACL racemase with stereospecific amino acid amidase and amino acid oxidase, and 4-aminoantipyrine. The structure of D-amino acid amidase from Ochrobactrum anthropiSV3 was solved at 2.1A resolution.
