The invention discloses L-
aspartic acid alpha-decarboxylase with improved substrate tolerance. L-
aspartic acid-alpha-decarboxylase from
bacillus subtilis is subjected to site-specific
mutagenesis, wherein
phenylalanine at a No.4 site is mutated into
tryptophan,
phenylalanine at a No.6 site is mutated into
tryptophan, and
phenylalanine at a No.6 site is mutated into
tryptophan; the
isoleucine at the No.33 site is mutated into
alanine; the
isoleucine at the No.88th site is tryptophan; and transforming recombinant plasmids of the
mutant into
escherichia coli, carrying out induced expression, and then catalyzing a substrate L-
aspartic acid to generate beta-
alanine. When the substrate addition concentration of a whole-
cell catalytic
system is 60g / L, the conversion rates of the three
enzyme mutants T4W, I33A and I88M can reach about 90%, the yields of the three
enzyme mutants T4W, I33A and I88M are respectively 1.2, 1.3 and 1.2 times of those of non-mutated strains, and the substrate tolerance of the three
enzyme mutants T4W, I33A and I88M is obviously improved; the tolerance of the combined
mutation to the substrate is also improved to a certain extent, and the discovery has important research value for industrial preparation of beta-
alanine.
