In this paper we describe the cloning and optimization of a nitrilase for a regio- and stereo-specific synthesis of (3S)-3-cyano-5-methyl hexanoic acid (2) from isobutylsuccinonitrile (IBSN, 1). Ten representative plant and bacterial nitrilases have been cloned and their substrate specificity was studied using a fluorescent assay. The desired nitrilase AtNit1 from Arabidopsis thaliana was identified with high enantioselectivity (E > 150). This enzyme was then purified and characterized to be an oligomer of 12 subunits by size exclusion chromatography. AtNit1 was subsequently optimized to increase expression and engineered to improve activity. Preliminary screening of a small percentage (1%) of the mutant library shows that the mutant C236S has a nearly 3-fold increase in reactivity in the hydrolysis of IBSN. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V.
