7 results about "Alanine racemase" patented technology

In enzymology, an alanine racemase (EC 5.1.1.1) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction L-alanine ⇌ D-alanine Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, L-alanine, and one product, D-alanine. This enzyme belongs to the family of isomerases, specifically those racemases and epimerases acting on amino acids and derivatives. The systematic name of this enzyme class is alanine racemase. This enzyme is also called L-alanine racemase.

Genetically engineered bacterium of high-yield L-alanine as well as construction method and application of genetically engineered bacterium

ActiveCN120738089ABacteriaMicroorganism based processesPhosphoenolpyruvate carboxylaseSaccharic acid
The invention discloses a genetically engineered bacterium for high yield of L-alanine as well as a construction method and application of the genetically engineered bacterium, a dominant strain is obtained by knocking out an alanine racemase gene dadX and integrating coding sequences of alanine dehydrogenase from different sources, and the shake flask yield is 10.8 g / L; the activity of a corresponding mutant M18L / E75A / A78S / I266V is 4.3 times that of a wild type; 6 by-product related genes are knocked out, meanwhile, a multi-copy strain integrated with alanine dehydrogenase is constructed, and the yield of E.coli A-LB6 in a 5L fermentation tank is increased to 133.3 g / L. Through a dynamic regulation and control strategy, an oxygen-sensitive promoter Pomp * is adopted to replace a phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase promoter, so that succinic acid byproducts are reduced by 85.8%, and the yield reaches 143.5 g / L after 48 hours of aerobic and anaerobic two-stage fermentation. And finally, by regulating and controlling the ATP synthetase gene cluster atp promoter, the yield of L-alanine in a 50 L fermentation tank reaches 151.3 g / L, and the saccharic acid conversion rate reaches 95.2%. The combination of polygene knockout and dynamic metabolism regulation effectively enhances the biosynthesis ability of alanine, and provides an efficient engineering strain for industrial production.

L-alanine-producing genetically engineered strain and method of construction and use thereof

PendingUS20250382645A1BacteriaTransferasesAlanine racemasePyruvate synthesis
The present invention discloses an L-alanine-producing genetically engineered strain, as well as a method of construction and use thereof, and pertains to the field of bioengineering. According to the present invention, through enhancing the glycolysis pathway or / and introducing a gene for thermostable alanine dehydrogenase, a genetically engineered strain capable of high-yield production of alanine under a high temperature condition of 42° C. to 55° C. can be constructed. Moreover, through knocking out alanine racemase genes, optical purity of L-alanine can be significantly increased. When the original strain possesses a lactate synthesis pathway, blocking this lactate synthesis pathway can augment the proportion of a pyruvate synthesis pathway, resulting in an additionally increased yield of L-alanine. The present invention overcomes the problems of fermentation at a low temperature, high cost and the like, which arise from the use of conventional L-alanine production techniques, enables production of L-alanine by fermentation at a high temperature of 42° C. to 55° C. with a yield of 95 g / L or higher, and is of high value to industrial application.

A mutant d-amino acid dehydrogenase and a method for preparing d-phenylalanine by a multi-enzyme cascade

PendingCN122382025ABacillus licheniformisAlanine racemase
The application discloses a mutant D-amino acid dehydrogenase and a method for preparing D-phenylalanine through a multi-enzyme cascade, wherein the mutant D-amino acid dehydrogenase is obtained by site-directed mutagenesis of wild-type amino acid dehydrogenase of symbiotic bacillus licheniformis; the multi-enzyme cascade preparation method is to use cheap L-phenylalanine as raw material, first obtain DL-phenylalanine through catalysis of alanine racemase, and then convert L-phenylalanine into D-phenylalanine through L-amino acid deaminase, mutant D-amino acid dehydrogenase and formic acid dehydrogenase. The concentration of D-phenylalanine product obtained by the method reaches 80-120 g / L, and the conversion rate can reach 95-98 %, so that the method not only shortens the production cycle and has high product concentration, but also is easy to industrialize.
