Benefits of technology

[0008] It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for producing dipeptides that uses comparatively inexpensive and easily available starting materials, is industrially advantageous and employs a simple production pathway.
[0009] As a result of conducting extensive research in consideration of the aforementioned object, the inventors of the present invention found that certain microbes have the ability to form dipeptides from comparatively inexpensive and easily available L-amino acid amides and L-amino acids, thereby having completed the present invention.

Problems solved by technology

Although chemical synthesis methods are conventionally known in the art as methods for producing dipeptides, those production methods are not necessarily easy.
However, since all of these methods require the introduction and elimination of protecting groups or the synthesis of an intermediate, they are not considered to be adequately satisfactory in terms of their industrial advantages.

Production of L-Alanyl-L-Asparagine

[0108] A 50 milliliter (ml or mL) aliquot of a medium containing 0.5% (w / v) yeast extract, 0.5% (w / v) peptone, 0.5% (w / v) glycerol, 0.5% (w / v) sodium chloride and 0.5% (w / v) L-alanine amide hydrochloride (pH 7.0) was dispensed to a 500 mL Sakaguchi flask and sterilized at 120° C. for 20 minutes. One loopful of the microbes shown in Table 1, which were cultured at 30° C. for 24 hours on a slant medium containing 0.5% (w / v) yeast extract, 0.5% (w / v) peptone, 0.5% (w / v) glycerol, 0.5% (w / v) sodium chloride, 0.5% (w / v) L-alanine amide hydrochloride and 2% (w / v) agar (pH 7.0), was inoculated into the aforementioned medium and cultured by shake culturing for 20 hours at 30° C. and 120 strokes / minute. Following the culturing, the microbial cells were separated by centrifugation, washed twice with an amount of physiological saline equal to the amount of culture liquid and centrifuged again to collect the microbial cells followed by suspending with 0.2 M T...

Purification of L-Alanine Amide Hydrolase from Corynebacterium glutamicum Strain ATCC 13286

[0109] Measurement of enzyme titer was carried out in the manner described below. 200 micromoles (μmol) of Tris-HCl buffer (pH 9.0), 50 μmol of L-alanine amide hydrochloride and a suitable amount of enzyme liquid were added and mixed to bring to a final volume of 1 ml, and allowed to react at 30° C. for 60 minutes. Then, 4 ml of aqueous phosphate solution (pH 2.1) was added to stop the reaction. The L-alanine produced was quantified by high-performance liquid chromatography. The amount of enzyme that produced 1 μmol of L-alanine in 1 minute was defined as 1 unit of enzyme.

[0110] 8 liters (L) of Corynebacterium glutamicum strain ATCC 13286 was cultured in the same manner as Example 1 followed by collection of the microbial cells by centrifugal separation. The following procedure was carried out on ice or at 4° C. After washing the microbial cells with 50 mM potassium phosphate buffer (pH 7.0)...

Evaluation of Molecular Weight of L-Alanine Hydrolase

[0111] The equivalent of 0.5 microgram (μg) of the purified enzyme preparation obtained according to the method of Example 2 was applied to polyacrylamide electrophoresis. 0.3% (w / v) Tris, 1.44% (w / v) glycine and 0.1% (w / v) sodium lauryl sulfate were used for the electrophoresis buffer, concentration gradient gel having a gel concentration of 10 to 20% (Multigel 10 to 20, manufactured by Daiichi Pure Chemicals) was used for the polyacrylamide gel, and precision pre-stained standards (manufactured by Biorad) were used for the molecular weight markers. Following completion of electrophoresis, the gel was stained with Coomassie brilliant blue R-250, and a uniform band was detected at the location calculated to have a molecular weight of 42,000 to 46,000.

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.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] The present application is a divisional of U.S. Ser. No. 10 / 481,087, filed on Dec. 17, 2003, which is a National Stage (371) of PCT / JP02 / 07633 filed on Jul. 26, 2002, which claims priority to JP 2001-226568, filed on Jul. 26, 2001, and to JP 2001-310547, filed on Oct. 5, 2001.TECHNICAL FIELD [0002] The present invention relates to a method for producing dipeptides easily and inexpensively without going through a complex synthesis method, and more particularly, to a method for producing dipeptides from an L-amino acid amide and an L-amino acid, to an L-amino acid amide hydrolase used in the method for producing dipeptides, and to a production method of the same. BACKGROUND ART [0003] Dieptides are used in the field of pharmaceuticals and functional foods and various other fields. For example, L-alanyl-L-glutamine is useful as a component of serum-free media, and since it has higher stability and water-solubility than L-glutamine, it is u...
