Abstract
Development of a method of economically and efficiently producing cis-4-hydroxy-L-proline. The present invention provides L-proline cis-4-hydroxylase. This enzyme may be derived from Lotus corniculatus rhizobia, Mesorhizobium loti or Medicago sativa rhizobia, Sinorhizobium meliloti. The present invention provides a method of producing cis-4-hydroxy-L-proline from L-proline by using this enzyme. The present invention provides a recombinant vector containing a polynucleotide encoding the enzyme and a transformant containing the vector.
Claims4
A method of producing cis-4-hydroxy-L-proline, comprising:
- (A) a step of providing L-proline and at least one protein selected from the group consisting of
- (1) the protein consisting of SEQ ID NO:
- 1 or 2,
- (2) a protein consisting of an amino acid sequence wherein one or several amino acids is/are deleted from, substituted in, or added to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 1 or 2, wherein said protein has L-proline cis-4-hydroxylase activity, and
- (3) a protein consisting of an amino acid sequence encoded by a polynucleotide that hybridizes under stringent conditions with the nucleic acid complement of SEQ ID NO:
- 3 or 4, wherein said protein has L-proline cis-4-hydroxylase activity and, wherein said stringent conditions comprise hybridization overnight in a solution of 6× saline-sodium citrate (SSC) and 0.2% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) at 65° C., washing two times with a solution of 1×SSC and 0.1% SDS at 65° C. for 30 minutes, and washing two times with a solution of 0.2×SSC and 0.1% SDS at 65° C. for 30 minutes, and
- (B) a step of reacting the at least one protein with the L-proline to give cis-4-hydroxyproline.
