Definitions
- the present invention relates to a D-aminoacylase produced by fungi, a method for producing said D-aminoacylase, and a method for producing D-amino acids using said D-aminoacylase.
- Enzymes have excellent catalytic functions with substrate specificity, reaction specificity, and stereospecificity. Stereospecificity of enzymes, with some exceptions, are nearly absolute.
- L-amino acids are widely and largely utilized in seasonings, food and feed additives, and infusions and are thus very highly demanded.
- L-Amino acids have been produced mainly by direct fermentation using microorganisms.
- Optical resolution is also a known method for producing L-amino acids by hydrolyzing N-acyl-DL-amino acids using L-aminoacylases. It has been utilized to industrially produce L-amino acids that are difficult to produce by fermentation.
- L-aminoacylases are widely found in animals, plants, and microorganisms. They have been purified from various organisms, and their properties have been clarified.
- N-terminal amino acids of many proteins are considered to be N-acetylated in vivo.
- L-Aminoacylases presumably regenerate N-acetyl-amino acids produced by decomposition of proteins to amino acids.
- acylase which acts on N-acyl-L-glutamic acid, is reportedly involved in arginine biosynthesis (Fruth, H., Leisinger, T.: J. Gen. Microb. 125, pp1 (1981)).
- D-amino acids have not been a subject of interest for a long time because they are nonprotein amino acids. D-amino acids were known to occur in small cyclic peptides, peptidoglycan of bacterial cell walls, and peptide antibiotics. However, D-amino acids have been demonstrated to be constituents of neuro peptides and to exist as binding forms in tooth enamel, the lens, and cerebral proteins, resulting in investigation of physiological significance and enzymatic synthesis of D-amino acids.
- DL-amino acids have been optically resolved by physicochemical, chemical, and enzymatic methods.
- the enzymatic methods are the most convenient and industrially applicable for, for example, continuously producing L-methionine from N-acetyl-DL-methionine using a bioreactor of immobilized L-aminoacylase.
- D-amino acids may also be produced using hydantoinase.
- the method consists of two-step enzymatic reactions.
- the first reaction uses D-specific hydantoinase to convert D,L-5-substituted-hydantoin, which is synthesized at low cost from aldehyde analogues, to a D-carbamyl derivative.
- the second reaction uses D-amino acid carbamylase.
- Another method comprises hydrolyzing N-acetyl-DL-amino acids with D-aminoacylase to produce D-amino acids (Sugie, M. and Suzuki, H.: Argric. Biol. Chem. 44, pp1089 (1980), Tsai, Y. C., Lin, C. S., Tseng, T. H., Lee, H. and Wang, Y. J.: J. Enzyme Microb. Technol. 14, pp384 (1992)).
- D-aminoacylase was first reported to be found in Pseudomonas sp. KT83 isolated from soil by Kameda et. al in 1952 (Kameda, Y., Toyoura, H., Kimura, Y. and Yasuda, Y.: Nature 170, pp888 (1952)). This enzyme hydrolyzed N-benzoyl derivatives of D-phenylalanine, D-tyrosine, and D-alanine. Thereafter, D-aminoacylases were derived from microorganisms belonging to the genus Pseudomonas (Kubo, K., Ishikura, T., and Fukagawa, Y.: J.
- Tsai et al. and Moriguchi et al. also clarified the characteristics of D-aminoacylase derived from microorganisms belonging to the genera Alcaligenes and Pseudomonas and the amino acid and nucleotide sequences of the enzymes.
- Moriguchi et al. found that microorganisms belonging to the genera Alcaligenes and Pseudomonas produced three species of D-aminoacylase by using different inducers (Wakayama, M., Katsumo, Y., Hayashi, S., Miyamoto, Y., Sakai, K. and Moriguchi, M.: Biosci. Biotech. Biochem. 59, pp2115 (1995)).
- Most of the conventional bacterial D-aminoacylases are inducible enzymes, and N-acetyl-DL-amino acid is usually required for their production.
- the culture medium of the bacterium used for producing D-aminoacylase contains the unreacted N-acetyl-D-amino acid as well as the degradation product of D-amino acid.
- D-aminoacylase produced by these bacteria with a substrate other than N-acetyl-D-amino acid used as the enzyme inducer, it was necessary to isolate the cultured bacteria from the growth medium. Even when the enzyme reacts with N-acetyl-D-amino acid as the substrate, the bacteria must be removed to purify D-amino acid produced.
- a continuous centrifuge such as a Westfalia centrifuge, and a Sharples centrifuge were usually used to remove the cultured bacteria.
- One problem of the centrifugation is that it takes longer to centrifuge a large volume of the culture medium, often causing the inactivation of D-aminoacylase during centrifugation.
- the bacteria and actinomycetes lyse as the reaction proceeds and thus are difficult to separate centrifugation.
- D-amino acids are not always efficiently produced using the conventional bacterial D-aminoacylase.
- An objective of the present invention is to provide an efficient method for producing D-amino acids using microorganisms other than the conventional bacteria and actinomycetes.
- Fungi are advantageous in that: (1) Fungal cells are large and filamentous and thus can be readily collected by filtration from the liquid culture; (2) fungi efficiently utilize carbohydrates and are able to grow more rapidly than usual at a high carbon/nitrogen ratio, reducing the cost of fermentation materials per unit of enzyme; (3) fungi can be economically cultured in a solid culture (i.e., without a liquid culture) since they grow under natural aeration conditions; this translates into less investment in equipment, high concentration enzyme production, and less organic solvents to extract enzymes; (4) fungi are able to grow well in the solid culture with a low active water level, which can prevent contamination with bacteria that grow poorly in a low active water level; and (5) most fungi efficiently utilize starch, cellulose, and proteins, including inexpensive nutrient sources such as cassava as a starch source, wheat bran, rice, rice bran, barley, wheat, soybean, and cellulose sources.
- inexpensive nutrient sources such as cassava as a starch source, wheat bran, rice,
- the present inventors then succeeded in isolating and purifying D-aminoacylases from fungi with D-aminoacylase activity by salting-out with ammonium sulfate and various chromatographies. Furthermore, the inventors studied various physico-chemical properties of the purified D-aminoacylases such as their substrate specificity and thermostability, confirming that D-amino acid can be efficiently produced by reacting the fungal D-aminoacylases with N-acetyl-D-amino acid under the appropriate conditions.
- the present inventors are the first to discover D-aminoacylase in eukaryotes, fungi.
- the enzyme had been found only in prokaryote bacteria and actinomycetes.
- the fungal D-aminoacylase can be used to produce D-amino acids.
- the present invention relates to a D-aminoacylase produced by fungi, a method for producing said D-aminoacylase, and a method for producing D-amino acids using said D-aminoacylase.

Abstract
D-aminoacylase derived from fungi is provided. The fungi capable of producing D-aminoacylase include those belonging to the genus Hypomyces, Fusarium, Auricularia, Pythium, and Menisporopsis. The fungal D-aminoacylase is useful for efficiently producing D-amino acids from N-acetyl-D-amino acids.
Description
- The present invention relates to a D-aminoacylase produced by fungi, a method for producing said D-aminoacylase, and a method for producing D-amino acids using said D-aminoacylase.
- Enzymes have excellent catalytic functions with substrate specificity, reaction specificity, and stereospecificity. Stereospecificity of enzymes, with some exceptions, are nearly absolute.
- Recent precise research has increased the importance of optically active substances for use in drugs, pesticides, feeds, and perfumes. Optical isomers sometimes have quite different biological activities. D(R)-form thalidomide has no teratogenic activity, but its L(S)-form shows strong teratogenicity. The practical use of thalidomide racemate caused the drug injury incidents. If one enantiomer shows an effective biological activity, the other enantiomer may sometimes have no activity, rather, it may competitively inhibit the activity of the effective enantiomer. In some cases, the activity of the racemate is reduced to half or less of the activity of the effective enantiomer. Accordingly, it is industrially important to obtain (synthesize or optically resolve) optically pure enantiomers. For this purpose, techniques for effective resolution of synthetic racemate have been widely used. Enzymatic optical resolution has drawn attention because it does not produce by-products and a bulk of liquid waste.
- Generally, L-amino acids are widely and largely utilized in seasonings, food and feed additives, and infusions and are thus very highly demanded. L-Amino acids have been produced mainly by direct fermentation using microorganisms. Optical resolution is also a known method for producing L-amino acids by hydrolyzing N-acyl-DL-amino acids using L-aminoacylases. It has been utilized to industrially produce L-amino acids that are difficult to produce by fermentation. L-aminoacylases are widely found in animals, plants, and microorganisms. They have been purified from various organisms, and their properties have been clarified. N-terminal amino acids of many proteins are considered to be N-acetylated in vivo. L-Aminoacylases presumably regenerate N-acetyl-amino acids produced by decomposition of proteins to amino acids. Among L-aminoacylases, acylase, which acts on N-acyl-L-glutamic acid, is reportedly involved in arginine biosynthesis (Fruth, H., Leisinger, T.: J. Gen. Microb. 125, pp1 (1981)).
- In contrast, D-amino acids have not been a subject of interest for a long time because they are nonprotein amino acids. D-amino acids were known to occur in small cyclic peptides, peptidoglycan of bacterial cell walls, and peptide antibiotics. However, D-amino acids have been demonstrated to be constituents of neuro peptides and to exist as binding forms in tooth enamel, the lens, and cerebral proteins, resulting in investigation of physiological significance and enzymatic synthesis of D-amino acids.
- At present, DL-amino acids have been optically resolved by physicochemical, chemical, and enzymatic methods. The enzymatic methods are the most convenient and industrially applicable for, for example, continuously producing L-methionine from N-acetyl-DL-methionine using a bioreactor of immobilized L-aminoacylase. D-amino acids may also be produced using hydantoinase. The method consists of two-step enzymatic reactions. The first reaction uses D-specific hydantoinase to convert D,L-5-substituted-hydantoin, which is synthesized at low cost from aldehyde analogues, to a D-carbamyl derivative. The second reaction uses D-amino acid carbamylase.
- Another method comprises hydrolyzing N-acetyl-DL-amino acids with D-aminoacylase to produce D-amino acids (Sugie, M. and Suzuki, H.: Argric. Biol. Chem. 44, pp1089 (1980), Tsai, Y. C., Lin, C. S., Tseng, T. H., Lee, H. and Wang, Y. J.: J. Enzyme Microb. Technol. 14, pp384 (1992)).
- D-aminoacylase was first reported to be found in Pseudomonas sp. KT83 isolated from soil by Kameda et. al in 1952 (Kameda, Y., Toyoura, H., Kimura, Y. and Yasuda, Y.: Nature 170, pp888 (1952)). This enzyme hydrolyzed N-benzoyl derivatives of D-phenylalanine, D-tyrosine, and D-alanine. Thereafter, D-aminoacylases were derived from microorganisms belonging to the genus Pseudomonas (Kubo, K., Ishikura, T., and Fukagawa, Y.: J. Antibiot. 43, pp550 (1980), Kubo, K., Ishikura, T. and Fukagawa, Y.: J. Antibiot. 43, pp556 (1980), Kameda, Y., Hase, T., Kanatomo, S. and Kita, Y.: Chem. Pharm. Bull. 26, pp2698 (1978), Kubo, K., Ishikura, T. and Fukagawa, Y.: J. Antibiot. 43, pp543 (1980)), the genus Streptomyces (Sugie, M. and Suzuki, H.: Argric. Biol. Chem. 42, pp107 (1978), Sugie, M. and Suzuki, H.: Argric. Biol. Chem. 44, pp1089 (1980)), and the genus Alcaligenes (Tsai, Y. C., Tseng, C. P., Hsiao, K. M. and Chen, L. Y.: Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 54, pp984 (1988), Yang, Y. B., Hsiao, K. M., Li, H., Yano, Y., Tsugita, A. and Tsai, Y. C.: Biosci. Biotech. Biochem. 56, pp1392 (1992), Yang, Y. B., Lin, C. S., Tseng, C. P., Wang, Y. J. and Tsai, Y. C.: Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 57, pp2767 (1991), Tsai, Y. C., Lin, C. S., Tseng, T. H., Lee, H. and Wang: Microb. Technol. 14, pp384 (1992), Moriguchi, M. and Ideta, K.: Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 54, pp2767 (1988), Sakai, K., Imamura, K., Sonoda, Y., Kido, H. and Moriguchi, M.: FEBS, 289, pp44 (1991), Sakai, K., Obata, T., Ideta, K. and Moriguchi, M.: J. Ferment. Bioeng. 71, pp79 (1991), Sakai, K., Oshima, K. and Moriguchi, M.: Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 57, pp2540 (1991), Moriguchi, M., Sakai, K., Katsuno, Y., Maki, T. and Wakayama, M.: Biosci. Biotech. Biochem., 57, pp1145 (1993), Kayama, M., Ashika, T., Miyamoto, Y., Yoshikawa, T., Sonoda, Y., Sakai, K. and Moriguchi, M.: J. Biochem. 118, pp204 (1995)), Moriguchi, M., Sakai, K., Miyamoto, Y. and Wakayama, M.: Biosci. Biotech. Biochem., 57, pp1149 (1993)).
- Tsai et al. and Moriguchi et al. also clarified the characteristics of D-aminoacylase derived from microorganisms belonging to the genera Alcaligenes and Pseudomonas and the amino acid and nucleotide sequences of the enzymes. Moriguchi et al. found that microorganisms belonging to the genera Alcaligenes and Pseudomonas produced three species of D-aminoacylase by using different inducers (Wakayama, M., Katsumo, Y., Hayashi, S., Miyamoto, Y., Sakai, K. and Moriguchi, M.: Biosci. Biotech. Biochem. 59, pp2115 (1995)).
- Furthermore, Moriguchi et al. determined the nucleotide sequences of these D-aminoacylases derived from a microorganism belonging to the genus Alcaligenes and compared it with L-aminoacylases derived fromBacillus stereothermophilus, human, and pig. The result demonstrated that these D-aminoacylases have a low homology with L-aminoacylases (Wakayama, M., Katsuno, Y., Hayashi, S., Miyamoto, Y., Sakai, K. and Moriguchi, M.: Biosci. Biotech. Biochem., 59, pp2115 (1995)).
- Sugie et al. reported D-aminoacylase of a microorganism belonging to the genus Streptomyces of actinomycetes (Sugie, M. and Suzuki, H.: Argric. Biol. Chem. 42, pp107 (1978), Sugie, M. and Suzuki, H.: Argric. Biol. Chem. 44, pp1089 (1980)). However, the enzyme has not been purified yet, and its characteristics remain unknown.
- As described above, many D-aminoacylases have been isolated from bacteria and have been used to produce D-amino acids. However, the conventional methods for producing D-amino acids using bacteria have the following problems.
- Most of the conventional bacterial D-aminoacylases are inducible enzymes, and N-acetyl-DL-amino acid is usually required for their production. The culture medium of the bacterium used for producing D-aminoacylase contains the unreacted N-acetyl-D-amino acid as well as the degradation product of D-amino acid. In order to react D-aminoacylase produced by these bacteria with a substrate other than N-acetyl-D-amino acid used as the enzyme inducer, it was necessary to isolate the cultured bacteria from the growth medium. Even when the enzyme reacts with N-acetyl-D-amino acid as the substrate, the bacteria must be removed to purify D-amino acid produced. A continuous centrifuge, such as a Westfalia centrifuge, and a Sharples centrifuge were usually used to remove the cultured bacteria. One problem of the centrifugation is that it takes longer to centrifuge a large volume of the culture medium, often causing the inactivation of D-aminoacylase during centrifugation. Furthermore, the bacteria and actinomycetes lyse as the reaction proceeds and thus are difficult to separate centrifugation. As described above, D-amino acids are not always efficiently produced using the conventional bacterial D-aminoacylase.
- An objective of the present invention is to provide an efficient method for producing D-amino acids using microorganisms other than the conventional bacteria and actinomycetes.
- In order to solve the above-described problems, the present inventors have attempted to produce D-amino acids using fungi which are eukaryotic cells sharing a common cell structure and many chemical properties and functions with animals and plants (eukaryotic characteristics). Fungi are advantageous in that: (1) Fungal cells are large and filamentous and thus can be readily collected by filtration from the liquid culture; (2) fungi efficiently utilize carbohydrates and are able to grow more rapidly than usual at a high carbon/nitrogen ratio, reducing the cost of fermentation materials per unit of enzyme; (3) fungi can be economically cultured in a solid culture (i.e., without a liquid culture) since they grow under natural aeration conditions; this translates into less investment in equipment, high concentration enzyme production, and less organic solvents to extract enzymes; (4) fungi are able to grow well in the solid culture with a low active water level, which can prevent contamination with bacteria that grow poorly in a low active water level; and (5) most fungi efficiently utilize starch, cellulose, and proteins, including inexpensive nutrient sources such as cassava as a starch source, wheat bran, rice, rice bran, barley, wheat, soybean, and cellulose sources.
- No fungi producing D-aminoacylase has been reported so far. The present inventors first screened D-aminoacylase-producing fungi and found that many fungi belonging to the genera Hypomyces, Fusarium, Auricularia, Pythium, and Menisporopsis can produce D-amino acid from N-acetyl-D-amino acid. These fungi thus have D-aminoacylase activity.
- The present inventors then succeeded in isolating and purifying D-aminoacylases from fungi with D-aminoacylase activity by salting-out with ammonium sulfate and various chromatographies. Furthermore, the inventors studied various physico-chemical properties of the purified D-aminoacylases such as their substrate specificity and thermostability, confirming that D-amino acid can be efficiently produced by reacting the fungal D-aminoacylases with N-acetyl-D-amino acid under the appropriate conditions.
- The present inventors are the first to discover D-aminoacylase in eukaryotes, fungi. The enzyme had been found only in prokaryote bacteria and actinomycetes. The fungal D-aminoacylase can be used to produce D-amino acids.
- Accordingly, the present invention relates to a D-aminoacylase produced by fungi, a method for producing said D-aminoacylase, and a method for producing D-amino acids using said D-aminoacylase.

The above microorganisms with ATCC numbers are recited in ATCC™ Catalogue on CD 1995 edition provided by “American Type Culture Collection (ATCC)” and are available from ATCC.
- D-aminoacylase-producing fungi can be cultured using conventional fermentation techniques. Either synthetic or natural media can be used as long as they contain proper amounts of the carbon source, nitrogen source, inorganic materials, and other nutrients. The culture media may be either liquid orsolid. More specifically, considering the planned utilization of the fungi, examples of the carbon source include sugars such as glucose, fructose, maltose, galactose, starch, starch hydrolyzate, molasses, and blackstrap molasses; natural products such as wheat, barley, and corn; alcohols such as glycerol, methanol, and ethanol; aliphatic hydrocarbons such as acetic acid, gluconic acid, pyruvic acid, and citric acid; hydrocarbons such as normal paraffin; and amino acids such as glycine, glutamine, and asparagine. One or more of the above carbon sources are used depending on assimilability of the fungus used.

One or more of the above nitrogen sources are used depending on assimilability of the fungus.
- For fungi to efficiently produce D-aminoacylase, N-acetyl-DL-amino acid can be used as the enzyme inducer depending upon the fungus employed.
- Furthermore, a minute amount of one or more inorganic salts can be used. Examples thereof include phosphates; hydrochlorides; nitrates; acetates; or similar salts of magnesium, manganese, potassium, calcium, sodium, copper, or zinc.

- Culturing can be performed in the liquid medium containing the above-described ingredients using the usual culture methods, such as shake culturing, aeration agitation culturing, continuous culturing, or fed-batch culturing.
- Culturing conditions may be properly selected depending upon the fungal strain and culture method, and are not particularly limited as long as the fungi used can proliferate to produce D-aminoacylase. It is usually preferred to adjust the initial pH to 4 to 10, preferably 6 to 8, and to culture at a temperature of 15 to 50° C., preferably 25 to 35° C. The culturing time is also not particularly limited as long as a sufficient amount of fungal cells having the D-aminoacylase activity can be obtained. The culturing is usually performed for 1 to 14 days, preferably for 1 to 3 days. D-Aminoacylase produced and accumulated in the culture can be recovered and isolated by the following methods.
- When D-aminoacylase is intracellularly produced, the fungal cells are collected by filtration or centrifugation after the culturing and washed with buffer, physiological saline, etc. The enzyme can then be extracted by disrupting the fungal cells using physical means such as freeze-thawing, ultrasonication, compression, osmotic treatment, or trituration; using biochemical means such as cell wall lysis with lysozyme; or using chemical means such as surfactant treatment. One or more of these treatments can be combined. The crude D-aminoacylase thus obtained can be purified by a single or combined fractionation means including salting out; fractional precipitation with organic solvents; various chromatographies such as salting-out chromatography, ion-exchange chromatography, gel filtration chromatography, hydrophobic chromatography, dye chromatography, hydroxyl apatite chromatography, or affinity chromatography; and electrophoresis such as isoelectric focusing and native electrophoresis. The above chromatographies can be performed using open columns or by means of medium-pressure or high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
- For example, the fungal cells collected by filtration are freeze-thawed and triturated using a Dyno Mill to obtain a D-aminoacylase extract. The extract is then successively subjected to salting-out using ammonium sulfate, ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sepharose FF, hydrophobic chromatography on Phenyl-Sepharose FF,
Sephadex 200 gel filtration chromatography, or MonoQ ion-exchange chromatography.

- N-acetyl-DL-amino acids can be used in the form of a salt such as a sodium salt or a potassium salt.
- D-Aminoacylase used for producing D-amino acid in the present invention includes a partially purified enzyme as well as the purified one. The enzyme also includes a recombinant protein obtained by isolating a DNA encoding D-aminoacylase, introducing said DNA into suitable host cells, and allowing the cells to express the enzyme. A DNA encoding D-aminoacylase can be isolated, for example, by obtaining the purified enzyme, determining its partial amino acid sequence, designing suitable oligonucleotide primers based on said determined amino acid sequence, and performing the polymerase chain reaction using the primers and, as a templete, the mRNA, cDNA, or genomic DNA prepared from the fungus from which the purified enzyme is derived.
- Besides these enzymes, the D-aminoacylase-producing fungal cells themselves can also be used in the present invention. Namely, D-amino acid can be produced by directly reacting the fungus capable of producing D-aminoacylase with N-acetyl-DL-amino acid. The fungus can be used in the form of the culture medium, cells separated from the culture medium by centrifugation or the like, or cells resuspended in buffer, water, or the like after they are separated by centrifugation and washed. The separated cells can be used in a state as they are recovered, as their disrupts, as treated with acetone or toluene, or as lyophilizate.
- D-aminoacylase or the fungus capable of producing said enzyme is reacted with N-acyl-D-amino acid under conditions suitable for the activity and stability of D-aminoacylase, and for the reactivity of the fungus. Some D-aminoacylases are activated by metal ions such as Co2+ and Ca2+. When such enzymes are used, the divalent metal ions may be added to the reaction solution. If the enzyme is inhibited by divalent metal ions, a chelating reagent such as EDTA can be added. Though the concentration of the substrate, N-acetyl-DL-amino acid, is not particularly limited, it is usually employed at a concentration of about 0.1 to 30 w/v %. Use of a large amount of D-aminoacylase often accelerates the reaction rate, and the enzyme is usually used in the amount of about 1 to 1,000 U/ml. One unit of the enzyme is defined as the amount of the enzyme to produce 1 μmol of D-tryptophan at 30° C. in 1 min when the enzyme is reacted with N-acetyl-D-tryptophan as the substrate. It is preferred to maintain the reaction temperature at which the D-aminoacylase activity is exhibited, 30 to 50° C. It is preferred to maintain the reaction pH at which the D-aminoacylase is active, for example, pH4 to 10. The reaction can be performed with or without stirring.
- The enzyme or the fungus can often be stabilized by immobilization. It can be immobilized by a known method on a suitable carrier such as polyacrylamide gel, sulfur-containing. polysaccharide gel (carrageenan gel), alginic acid gel, or agar gel.
- The D-amino acids produced can be recovered from the reaction mixture by a known method such as direct crystallization by concentration or isoelectric precipitation, ion exchange resin treatment, membrane filtration, or the like.
- For example, D-tryptophan produced using N-acetyl-DL-tryptophan as a substrate can be purified as follows. After the enzymatic reaction, the reaction mixture is contacted with strongly acidic cation exchange resin to adsorb D-tryptophan. The resin was washed with water and eluted with 0.5 N aqueous ammonia. After the eluate was concentrated, the thus-obtained crude crystalline powder of D-tryptophan is dissolved in a small amount of 50% hot ethanol, decolorized with activated charcoal, and cooled to obtain purified crystals of D-tryptophan.
- In the method of the present invention, D-valine can be purified as follows. After the enzymatic reaction, the microbial cells are removed by centrifugation or the like, and the resulting supernatant is adjusted to
pH 1 by adding 6N hydrochloric acid. The precipitated N-acetyl-L-valine is removed by centrifugation. The supernatant is treated with activated charcoal, adjusted to pH 7.0, then added to an H+-type strongly acidic cation exchanger (Amberlite IR-120B). Elution is performed with 5% aqueous ammonia, and the resulting eluate is dried at 80° C. under reduced pressure, thereby producing D-valine. - The present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the following examples but is not to be construed to be limited thereto.
- In the following examples, “%” for concentration denotes weight per volume percent unless otherwise specified.

- (1) Cell Disruption, Removal of Nucleic Acid, and Salting Out with Ammonium Sulfate
- Frozen cells (about 100 g) were wrapped in double-layered plastic bags with zippers and pulverized in an aluminum vat using a mallet. Pulverized cells were added to 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 9.0) containing 1 μM leupeptin, 1 μM pepstatin A, 1 mM PMSF, and 0.01% 2-ME to prepare a cell suspension. The suspension was then subjected to continuous trituration with a Dyno mill type KDL (Wiley A. Bachofen, Based, Switzerland) using 0.2 to 0.5 mm glass beads.
- The resulting cell triturate was centrifuged (with a Hitachi Koki centrifuge 20PR-52D using a RPR-9 rotor) at 8,000 rpm (6,000×g) at 4° C. for 30 min to sediment unbroken cells and cell debris. The supernatant thus obtained was assayed to determine the protein concentration according to the method described in Example 4. As a result, since the total protein amounted to 61,500 mg, {fraction (1/10)}th weight of protamine sulfate was added dropwise to the supernatant as a 3% solution (in the same buffer used for the trituration) with stirring at low temperature, and the mixture was stirred for an additional 2 h. The resulting mixture was centrifuged (with a Hitachi Koki centrifuge 20PR-52D using an RPR-9 rotor) at 6,000 rpm (3,000×g) for 20min at 4° C. to sediment microsomes and nucleic acids.

Since this did not completely salt out D-aminoacylase, ammonium sulfate in excess to the dialyzate was added directly with stirring at low temperature. The precipitate was collected by centrifugation (with a Tomy Seiko RS-20BH centrifuge using a BH-9 rotor) at 10,000 rpm (16,000×g) at 4° C. for 20 min then suspended in a small amount of 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 9.0) containing 0.1 mM PMSF, 0.1 μM leupeptin, 0.1 μM pepstatin A, and 0.01% 2-ME. The suspension was dialyzed against the same buffer (10 liter) for 4 h, and then against the same freshly replaced buffer (10 liter) overnight.

After the column was washed with three volumes of the same buffer, the enzyme was eluted with a linear gradient of NaCl from 0 M to 0.5 M in seven volumes of the same buffer. The amount of protein in each fraction was estimated by measuring the absorbance at 280 nm (FIG. 1).
- The D-aminoacylase activity was assayed by performing the enzyme reaction in 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5) containing 20 mM N-acetyl-D-tryptophan (total volume of 100 μl) at 30° C. for 30 min. An equal volume of 100 mM Na2B4O7-NaOH solution containing 4 mM TNBS was added to the above reaction mixture. The absorbance was measured at 450 nm to estimate the amount of free D-tryptophan.

Fractions containing the D-aminoacylase activity were combined, and concentrated fivefold using a UF membrane (Amicon, YM-10 76 mm dia.). Ammonium sulfate was added to the concentrate to 70% saturation, and the mixture was allowed to stand overnight to complete the precipitation. The mixture was then centrifuged (with a Hitachi Koki HIMAC CR26H centrifuge using a RR18A rotor) at 12,000 rpm (18,000×g) and 4° C. for 10 min to recover the precipitate. The recovered precipitate was suspended in 10 ml of 200 mM KPB (pH 8.5) containing 0.01% 2-ME and 0.3 M Na2SO4, dialyzed against the same buffer (2 liters) overnight. Dialysis was performed then again against the same but freshly replaced buffer (2 liters) for 4 h.

After the column was washed with four volumes of the same buffer, the enzyme was eluted by linearly decreasing the concentration of Na2SO4 in the above-described buffer (buffer A) from 0.3 M to 0 M, that is, linearly increasing the concentration of 10 mM KPB (pH 8.5) containing 0.01% 2-ME from 0% to 100% in buffer A. The amount of protein in each fraction was estimated by measuring the absorbance at 280 nm. The D-aminoacylase activity was assayed in the same manner as described in (2) (FIG. 2).
- Ammonium sulfate was added to the fractions containing the D-aminoacylase activity to 70% saturation, and the mixture was gently stirred for 2 h to form precipitates, which were recovered by centrifugation (with a Hitachi Koki HIMAC CR26H centrifuge using a RR18A rotor) at 12,000 rpm (18,000×g) and 4° C. for 10 min.
