Transaminases catalyse the reversible transfer of amino and keto groups between an amino acid and keto acid substrate pair. Many bacterial transaminases accept a wide array of keto acids as amino accepters and are useful as commercial biocatalysts in the preparation of amino acids. Since the reaction equilibrium typically lies close to unity, several approaches have been described to improve upon the 50% product yield, using additional enzymes. The present work describes an efficient means to significantly increase product yield in transamination using the aromatic transaminase of Escherichia coli encoded by the tyrB gene, with L-aspartate as the amino donor. This is achieved by the introduction of the alsS gene encoding the acetolactate synthase of Bacillus subtilis, which eliminates pyruvate and alanine produced as a by-product of aspartate transamination. The biosynthesis of the non-proteinogenic amino acid L-2-aminobutyrate is described using a recombinant strain of E. coli containing the cloned tyrB and alsS genes. The strain additionally carries the cloned ilvA gene of E. coli encoding threonine deaminase to produce the substrate 2-ketobutyrate from L-threonine. An alternate coupled process uses lysine E-aminotransferase in concert with a transaminase using L-glutamate as the amino donor. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
