(ここで、Rは、置換されていてもよい炭素数1~10の直鎖状若しくは分枝状のアルキル基又はアルケニル基、置換されていてもよい炭素数3~18のシクロアルキル基又はアリール基、あるいは、置換されていてもよい飽和又は不飽和複素環基である。)
で表されるアミド化合物が挙げられる。特に、式中、Rが「CH2=CH-」であるアクリルアミドが好ましい。
変異体を用いたタンパク質の機能、性質を研究する方法の一つに、ランダム変異導入法がある。ランダム変異導入法とは、特定のタンパク質をコードする遺伝子に対してランダムな変異を導入し、変異体を作製する方法である。PCRによるランダム変異導入法では、DNA増幅時に厳密度(ストリンジェンシー)の低い条件を設定して、塩基の変異を導入する(Error prone PCR)ことができる。
このError prone PCRでは、増幅されるDNAの全域に対して任意の部位に変異が導入される。そうすると、得られた任意の部位に変異が導入された変異体の機能を検討することによって、タンパク質固有の機能に重要なアミノ酸やドメインの情報を得ることができる。Error prone PCRの鋳型となるニトリルヒドラターゼは、野生株由来のニトリルヒドラターゼ遺伝子、Error prone PCRによる増幅産物であるDNAを用いることができる。
Error prone PCRの反応条件としては、例えば、反応液中のdNTP(dGTP、dCTP、dATP又はdTTP)のいずれか1種、2種又は3種の配合割合を他のdNTPに比べて減らした組成とする条件が挙げられる。これにより、DNA合成の際、配合割合を減らしたdNTPが必要な箇所においては、誤って他のdNTPが用いられる可能性が高くなり、変異が導入される。また、他の反応条件としては、反応液中のMgCl2及び/又はMnCl2量を増やした組成とする条件も好ましく挙げられる。
特定部位に変異を導入する方法で、一般的には、標的遺伝子を含むDNA鎖を一本鎖に解離し、目的の変異を含むオリゴヌクレオチド鎖をアニールさせて、DNAポリメラーゼで伸長させて二本鎖とし、これを大腸菌に組み込んで複製させ、目的とする変異を含むクローンを選択する(Molecular Cloning, A Laboratory Manual 2nd ed., Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press (1989)、Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, John Wiley & Sons (1987-1997)等参照)。Kunkel法のほか、Gapped duplex法等様々な方法が知られており、市販の突変異導入用キット、例えばQuickChangeTM XL Site-Directed Mutagenesis Kit(ストラタジーン社製)、GeneTailorTM Site-Directed Mutagenesis System(インビトロジェン社製)、TaKaRa Site-Directed Mutagenesis System(Mutan-K、Mutan-Super Express Km等:タカラバイオ社製)等を用いて簡便に実施することができる。
本発明は、本発明の改良型ニトリルヒドラターゼをコードするDNAも提供する。
本発明の「改良型ニトリルヒドラターゼをコードするDNA」には、上記改良型ニトリルヒドラターゼをコードするDNAと相補的な塩基配列を有するDNAとストリンジェントな条件下でハイブリダイズし、かつ、高温下でのアミド化合物耐性を有するニトリルヒドラターゼ活性を有するタンパク質をコードするDNAも含まれる。
改良型ニトリルヒドラターゼをコードするDNAは、形質転換される宿主生物において発現可能なように、ベクターに組み込むことが必要である。使用するベクターとしては、プラスミドDNA、バクテリオファージDNA、レトロトランスポゾンDNA、人工染色体DNAなどが挙げられる。
改良型ニトリルヒドラターゼは、上記形質転換体を培養し、得られる培養物からニトリルヒドラターゼ活性を有するタンパク質を採取することにより製造することができる。本発明はそのような改良型ニトリルヒドラターゼの製造方法も提供する。
本発明の改良型ニトリルヒドラターゼは、酵素触媒として物質生産に利用することができる。例えば、ニトリル化合物に、上記改良型ニトリルヒドラターゼを接触させ、生成されるアミド化合物を採取することにより、アミド化合物を製造することができる。
本発明のアミノ酸置換を導入するための鋳型となるプラスミドを以下の方法で作製した。
J1菌のニトリルヒドラターゼ遺伝子を有するプラスミドはpSJ034を使用した(図1)。pSJ034はロドコッカス菌においてニトリルヒドラターゼを発現するプラスミドである。pJD034は、pSJ023より特開平10-337185号公報に示す方法で作製した。すなわち、プラスミドpSJ023をXbaIの部分切断とSse8387Iリンカーライゲーションにより、1箇所のXbaIサイトをSse8387Iに置換したプラスミドpSJ033を作製した。次に、pSJ033をSse8387Iで部分切断し、クレノウフラグメントを用いて末端平滑化を行い、セルフライゲーションすることによりプラスミドpSJ034を作製した。
実施例1で作製したプラスミドpSJ034を使用し、アミノ酸置換を行った。PCRは、下記反応液組成、反応条件、プライマーを用いて行った。

実施例3で得られた改良型ニトリルヒドラターゼのアミド化合物耐性を以下の方法で測定した。
菌体液0.2mlと50mMリン酸緩衝液(pH7.0)4.8mlとを混合し、さらに5.0%(w/v)のアクリロニトリルを含む50mMリン酸緩衝液(pH7.0)5mlを混合液に加えて、10℃で10分間振盪しながら反応させた。次いで、菌体を濾別して、ガスクロマトグラフィーを用いて生成したアクリルアミドの量を定量した。
