title: Overproduction of D-aminoacylase from Alcaligenes xylosoxydans subsp. xylosoxydans A-6 in Escherichia coli and its purification.
abstract: We constructed the high-expression plasmid for D-aminoacylase from Alcaligenes xylosoxydans subsp. xylosoxydans A-6. The appropriate Shine-Dalgarno sequence (AAGGAG) was introduced to the eight bases upstream of start codon (ATG) of D-aminoacylase structural gene by site-directed mutagenesis, and then the 1.75-kb DNA fragment including the open reading frame was inserted into the downstream of the tac promoter of plasmid vector pKK223-3. The resultant plasmid, which was named pKNSD2, showed a high D-aminoacylase activity in Escherichia coli JM109 cells transformed with it. The enzyme was purified to homogeneity in only two steps with a final yield of 24% (sp act, 2023 U/mg).
