The invention provides a method for producing beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyric acid through double-
enzyme co-expression, and relates to the technical field of
enzyme engineering. According to the invention, L-
amino acid deaminase and 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate
dioxygenase are expressed by using the same
promoter in a host
cell, and a key RBS combination is determined by optimizing and screening
ribosome binding site RBS sequences, so that expression balance and efficient
synergy of the two enzymes are realized; on the basis,
biosynthesis of beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyric acid is carried out by taking L-
leucine as a substrate, the yield of beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyric acid reaches 14.12 mM, and the
molar conversion rate is 56.5%. Through series co-expression design of double enzymes, efficient
biosynthesis of beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyric acid is achieved, and the method has the advantages of being mild in reaction condition, high in product purity,
environmentally friendly and the like and is suitable for industrial popularization.
