- Abstract
Transaminase (TA) is a crucial biocatalyst for enantioselective production of the herbicide L-phosphinothricin (L-PPT). The use of enzymatic cascades has been shown to effectively overcome the unfavorable thermodynamic equilibrium of TA-catalyzed transamination reaction, also increasing demand for TA stability. In this work, a novel thermostable transaminase (PtTA) from Pseudomonas thermotolerans was mined and characterized. The PtTA showed a high specific activity (28.63 U/mg) towards 2‐oxo‐4‐[(hydroxy)(methyl)phosphinoyl]butyric acid (PPO), with excellent thermostability and substrate tolerance. Two cascade systems driven by PtTA were developed for L-PPT biosynthesis, including asymmetric synthesis of L-PPT from PPO and deracemization of D, L-PPT. For the asymmetric synthesis of L-PPT from PPO, a three-enzyme cascade was constructed as a recombinant Escherichia coli (E. coli G), by co-expressing PtTA, glutamate dehydrogenase (GluDH) and D-glucose dehydrogenase (GDH). Complete conversion of 400 mM PPO was achieved using only 40 mM amino donor L-glutamate. Furthermore, by coupling D-amino acid aminotransferase (Ym DAAT) from Bacillus sp. YM‐1 and PtTA, a two-transaminase cascade was developed for the one-pot deracemization of D, L-PPT. Under the highest reported substrate concentration (800 mM D, L-PPT), a 90.43% L-PPT yield was realized. The superior catalytic performance of the PtTA-driven cascade demonstrated that the thermodynamic limitation was overcome, highlighting its application prospect for L-PPT biosynthesis. Key points: • A novel thermostable transaminase was mined for L-phosphinothricin biosynthesis. • The asymmetric synthesis of L-phosphinothricin was achieved via a three-enzyme cascade. • Development of a two-transaminase cascade for D, L-phosphinothricin deracemization.
