The present application relates to the technical field of
enzyme engineering, and discloses an amino
transferase mutant and application thereof.The present application provides a wild-type amino
transferase mutant derived from
Aspergillus avenaceus.The amino
transferase mutant is obtained by carrying out single-point or multi-point combined
mutation on the 20th, 60th, 92nd and 186th positions of the
amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.2, and can directly take the
sitagliptin intermediate precursor
ketone as a substrate, take
isopropylamine as an amino donor, take phosphopyridoxyl as a coenzyme, take
dimethyl sulfoxide as a substrate
solvent, catalyze the preparation of a
sitagliptin intermediate with high optical purity, and the
specific enzyme activity reaches 139.3 U / g in a
reaction system with a final concentration of 50% DMSO, greatly improves the
catalytic efficiency, and the product has high
stereoselectivity (the e.e. value of the product reaches 99%), and has a wide industrial application prospect.
