Abstract:
The invention consists in a nucleotide sequence having the size of (2646) bp, wherein the order of nucleotides is identical to the order of the nucleotide sequence encoding penicillin acylase from Achromobacter sp. CCM 4824 (formerly Comamonas testosteroni CCM 4824), eventually of the fragments of this sequence having the length of at least 150 nucleotides. The sequence can be used in the formation of a DNA construct, eventually the construct having at least one regulatory sequence regulating the expression of the gene and the production of a polypeptide with the penicillin acylase activity. The sequence can form part of a recombinant expression vector, which consists of the above-mentioned construct, promoter, translational start signal, translational and transcriptional stop signal. Further, the invention concerns a recombinant host cell, containing the nucleic acid construct carried by the vector or integrated into the cell chromosome, and the E. coli BL21 strain containing said sequence of the nucleotides encoding the penicillin acylase carried in the pKXIP1, the pKLP3 or the pKLP6 plasmid.

Abstract:
The present invention discloses isolation of Penicillin Acylase (PA) from Achromobacter sp CCM 4824 expressed in recombinant strain E. coli BL21 CCM 7394 bearing the recombinant plasmid pKXIP1 and processing of PA into biocatalyst useful for the industrial synthesis of antibiotics. More particularly the invention discloses a synthesis of semi-synthetic β-lactam antibiotics in the reaction mixture consisting of activated acyl-donor (D-p-hydroxyphenylglycine methyl ester or amide for Amoxicillin and Cefadroxil; D-phenylglycine methyl ester or amide for Ampicillin and Cephalexin) and nucleophile (6-APA or 7-ADCA) catalyzed by PA obtained from recombinant E. coli BL21 CCM 7394 as the biocatalyst.
