Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Arthrobacter sp. strain KI72 grows on a 6-aminohexanoate oligomer as a sole source of carbon and nitrogen. We cloned the two genes, nylD1 and nylE1, responsible for 6-aminohexanoate metabolism. We amplified the DNA fragments that encode these genes by polymerase chain reaction using a synthetic primer DNA homologous to the 4-aminobutyrate metabolic enzymes. We inserted the amplified DNA fragments into the expression vector pColdI in Escherichia coli, purified the His-tagged enzymes to homogeneity, and performed biochemical studies. We confirmed that 6-aminohexanoate aminotransferase (NylD1) catalyzes the reaction of 6-aminohexanoate to adipate semialdehyde using alpha-ketoglutarate, pyruvate and glyoxylate as amino acceptors, generating glutamate, alanine and glycine, respectively. For further metabolism, adipate semialdehyde dehydrogenase (NylE1) catalyzes the oxidative reaction of adipate semialdehyde to adipate using NADP+ as a cofactor.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究は、繊維・プラスチックとして広く用いられているナイロンについて、6ナイロンの構成単位である6-アミノヘキサン酸の微生物代謝経路の解明、関連酵素群の取得と機能改良について、検討を行ったものである。特に、6-アミノヘキサン酸の代謝については、以前の研究例がなかったが、モノマー代謝の初段階に関与する2種類の酵素(アミノ基転移酵素と脱水素酵素)を用いて、6-アミノヘキサン酸が、90%以上の収率でアジピン酸へ変換できることが明らかとなった。本研究からNylA-E酵素群を統合的に用いることで、高収率で、6ナイロンを、66ナイロン原料であるアジピン酸まで変換可能である可能性を示すことができた。
