Abstract:
The present invention provides a methodology for improving a yield of 2R,4R-Monatin. Specifically, the present invention provides a method for producing 2S,4R-Monatin or a salt thereof, comprising contacting 4R-IHOG with an L-amino acid aminotransferase in the presence of an L-amino acid to form the 2S,4R-Monatin; a method for producing 2R,4R-Monatin or a salt thereof, comprising isomerizing the 2S,4R-Monatin to form the 2R,4R-Monatin; and the like. These production methods may further comprise condensing indole-3-pyruvate and pyruvate to form the 4R-IHOG, and deaminating a tryptophan to form the indole-3-pyruvate.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a coryneform bacterium having an ability to produce a heterologous fusion protein by secretory production, which has been modified to express a genetic construct for secretory production of the heterologous fusion protein encoding at least a heterologous fusion protein comprising an extein and an intein having an activity of acyl rearrangement. The method for producing proteins modified at the C-terminus is also provided.
Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a peptide thioester compound, a peptide hydrazide compound, and a peptide amide compound. The present invention provides a method for producing a peptide hydrazide compound or a peptide amide compound by using a compound represented by Formula (2): wherein R1, R2, R3, and X are as defined in the specification, and using a hydrazine compound or an ammonia compound as a reaction reagent. The present invention also provides a method for producing a peptide thioester compound from the peptide hydrazide compound.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a method of efficiently producing a crystal of a (2R,4R)Monatin multivalent metal salt that has a good sweetness property and is excellent in storage stability. Specifically, the present invention provides the method of producing the crystal of the (2R,4R)Monatin multivalent metal salt comprising allowing an aldehyde or one or two or more enzymes capable of forming (2R,4R)Monatin from (2S,4R)Monatin to be acted on an aqueous solution containing the (2S,4R)Monatin in the presence of a multivalent metal ion to obtain the crystal of the (2R,4R)Monatin multivalent metal salt. The aldehyde may preferably be an aromatic aldehyde. The one or two or more enzyme may preferably be a racemase or one or more aminotransferases. The multivalent metal may preferably be a bivalent alkaline earth metal.
