RECOMBINANT VECTOR CONSTRUCTED FROM AN ENCODING GENE OF A NITRILASE MUTANT, A RECOMBINANT GENETIC ENGINEERED STRAIN AND APPLICATION THEREOF

摘要

The present invention discloses a recombinant vector constructed from an encoding gene of a nitrilase mutant, a recombinant genetic engineered strain and application thereof. the nucleotide sequence of the gene is shown in SEQ ID No.5, and the amino acid sequence of the mutant is shown in SEQ ID No.6. In the present invention, by the protein molecular modification, thermostability of the purified nitrilase LNIT5 is increased by up to 4.5 folds; and by utilizing recombinant E. coli containing the nitrilase mutant to hydrolyze 1-cyanocyclohexylacetonitrile at a high temperature (45° C.), product tolerance is increased, activity of NIT5-L201F is increased by 20%, and the mutant NITLNIT5-AcN can completely hydrolyze 750 mM 1-cyanocyclohexylacetonitrile within 8 hours and achieve an doubled conversion rate. Therefore, the mutants obtained by the present invention have a good application prospect in efficiently catalyzing 1-cyanocyclohexylacetonitrile to synthesize gabapentin intermediate, 1-cyanocyclohexyl acetic acid.
