Abstract:

The gene of phenylalanine aminomutase was cloned from Streptomyces maritimus. The corresponding enzyme(SmPAM) was expressed to synthesize the β-arylalanine in E. coli. A pair of primers was designed to amplify the gene pam of SmPAM, and the pamof 1569 bp was cloned into pET28a to construct pET28a-pam which was transferred into E. coli BL21 to express the recombinant SmPAM. The pam of SmPAM was cloned and expressed in E. coli. The activity was 2.5 U/mg at optimum condition of 30 ℃ and pH=9. Moreover, the enzyme exhibited excellent thermostablity and pH stability, no activity decrease was observed at 60—70 ℃ even incubated for 3 h, and about 98% of activity remained after incubation at pH=9—11 for 24 h. The enzyme displayed broad substrate spectrum, and could be used to synthesize the β-arylalanine with different groups at benzene ring, among these β-arylalanines, the yield of 2-nitro-β-phenylalanine was the maximum and reached 93%. The SmPAM displayed excellent stability and broad substrate spectrum with potential prospectin industrial application.
