A multi-enzymatic cascade reaction for the stereoselective production of \(\gamma\)-oxyfunctionalyzed amino acids

  • A stereoselective three-enzyme cascade for synthesis of diasteromerically pure \(\gamma\)-oxyfunctionalized \(\alpha\)-amino acids was developed. By coupling a dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) using an \(\it N\)-acylamino acid racemase (NAAAR) and an L-selective aminoacylase from \(\textit {Geobacillus thermoglucosidasius}\) with a stereoselective isoleucine dioxygenase from \(\textit {Bacillus thuringiensis,}\) diastereomerically pure oxidized amino acids were produced from racemic \(\it N\)-acetylamino acids. The three enzymes differed in their optimal temperature and pH-spectra. Their different metal cofactor dependencies led to inhibitory effects. Under optimized conditions, racemic \(\it N\)-acetylmethionine was quantitatively converted into L-methionine-\(\textit {(S)}\)-sulfoxide with 97% yield and 95% \(\textit {de.}\) The combination of these three different biocatalysts allowed the direct synthesis of diastereopure oxyfunctionalized amino acids from inexpensive racemic starting material.
