Metabolically driven equilibrium shift of asymmetric amination of ketones by ω-transaminase using alanine as an amino donor

Abstract: Removal of a side product to overcome unfavorable equilibrium is a prerequisite for the asymmetric amination of ketones using ω-transaminase (ω-TA). Alanine has been preferred as an amino donor because its deamination product (i.e. pyruvate) is easily removable by several enzymatic methods. Here, we demonstrated that the removal of pyruvate by an innate metabolic pathway could afford equilibrium shift of the ω-TA reactions.

“…A combination of shifting the equilibrium while simultaneously removing the desired amine product from the reaction phase would be desired. In fact, several drawbacks from using IPA as amine donor are evident: While there can be little to now activity of wild type amine transaminases towards IPA 12,13 , also undesired side reactions can arise from the basicity of the amine donor. 14 Furthermore, IPA is highly toxic, derived fossil resources and complicates the downstream processing, which stands in the way of a sustainable production process with little residual, polluting waste streams.…”

“…Because the structure of the donor and the acceptor might differ and because the reaction is reversible, the enzymes accept 2 different amines as amino donors, which is known as dual substrate recognition . As a further consequence of the reversibility of the transamination, subsequent reaction steps or product separation are required in biosynthetic applications . Other members of the family of PLP‐dependent enzymes include lyases, oxidoreductases, and hydrolases .…”
