本発明のポリペプチドは、上記のように微生物から取得される天然酵素であってもよいし、遺伝子組換え技術を利用して生産される組換え酵素であってもよい。天然酵素としては、配列表の配列番号1に示されるポリペプチドをあげることができる。
本発明の実施形態としての「DNA」について説明する。本発明のDNAは、上記のようなポリペプチドをコードするDNAであればよい。配列表の配列番号2で示されるDNAであってもよいし、配列表配列番号2に示される塩基配列において1若しくは数個の塩基が置換、挿入、欠失および/または付加された塩基配列を有し、かつアミノ酸脱水素酵素活性を有するポリペプチドをコードするDNAであってもよい。「数個の塩基」とは、DNAによってコードされるポリペプチドがアミノ酸脱水素酵素活性を失われない限り、その個数は制限されないが、好ましくは50塩基以下であり、より好ましくは30塩基以下、さらに好ましくは20塩基以下、最も好ましくは、10、9、8、7、6、5、4、3、または2個以下である。
上記方法によって取得したDNA、または該DNAをベクターに組み込んで得られる組換えプラスミドを用いることにより、宿主微生物を形質転換し形質転換体を得ることができる。
本発明のアミノ酸脱水素酵素を生産しうる上記形質転換体等を培養することにより当該酵素を大量に生産することができ、L-アミノ酸、2-オキソ酸、又はD-アミノ酸の製造に利用することができる。
実施形態で得られるアミノ酸脱水素酵素を使用することによる、効率的なL-アミノ酸、2-オキソ酸、又はD-アミノ酸の製造方法について説明する。2-オキソ酸は、ラセミ体アミノ酸、又はL-アミノ酸にアミノ酸脱水素酵素を作用させ、L-アミノ酸を酸化することにより得ることができる(酸化的脱アミノ化反応)。D-アミノ酸は、前記酸化的脱アミノ化反応において、ラセミ体アミノ酸を基質とした時の残基質として得ることが可能である。L-アミノ酸は、2-オキソ酸にアミノ酸脱水素酵素を作用させ、2-オキソ酸を還元的にアミノ化することにより得ることができる(還元アミノ化反応)。またL-アミノ酸は、ラセミ体アミノ酸、又はD-アミノ酸にD-アミノ酸オキシダーゼを作用させ、D-アミノ酸を2-オキソ酸へと酸化し、さらにアミノ酸脱水素酵素を接触せしめ、反応させることにより、L-アミノ酸へと変換することもできる(立体反転反応)。
ここでD-アミノ酸オキシダーゼとは、酸素の存在下、D-アミノ酸を酸化し、2-オキソ酸、過酸化水素、及びアンモニアを生成する酵素である。本発明で用いるD-アミノ酸オキシダーゼとしては、動物、植物、微生物由来のものが使用できるが、工業的な利用には微生物由来のものが好ましい。D-アミノ酸オキシダーゼの生産能力を有する微生物としては、例えば、以下の公知の当該酵素の生産能力を有する微生物である、アースロバクター(Arthrobacter)属、アスペルギルス(Aspergillus)属、キャンディダ(Candida)属、クリプトコッカス(Cryptococcus)属、クルブラリア(Curvularia)属、エクソフィアラ(Exophiala)属、フサリウム(Fusarium)属、ジベレラ(Gibberella)属、ハンセヌラ(Hansenula)属、クオエッケラ(Kloeckera)属、クリベロマイセス(Kluyveromyces)属、ニューロスポラ(Neurospora)属、ピキア(Phichia)属、ロドスポリディウム(Rhodosporidium)属、ロドトルラ(Rhodotorula)属、スポロボロマイセス(Sporobolomyces)属、トリゴノプシス(Trigonopsis)属、バーチシリウム(Verticillium)属、及びヤロヴィア(Yarrowia)属等が挙げられる。
アミノ酸脱水素酵素による還元アミノ化反応は、NADHのような還元型の補酵素を必要とし、当該反応の進行に伴い、補酵素NADHは酸化型に変換される。この酸化型の補酵素を還元型に変換する能力(以後、還元型補酵素再生能と呼ぶ)を有する酵素、および、当該酵素の基質となる化合物を、アミノ酸脱水素酵素と共存させて当該反応を行うことにより、補酵素の使用量を大幅に削減できる。
前記立体反転反応には、カタラーゼを添加してもよい。カタラーゼを添加しない場合にも反応は進行し、生成物を得ることができるが、D-アミノ酸オキシダーゼ反応で生成する過酸化水素により基質、反応中間体、あるいは生成物が分解され、収率が低下する可能性がある。カタラーゼを添加することで、そのような基質、反応中間体、あるいは生成物の分解を抑えることができ、収率の向上が期待できる。カタラーゼは過酸化水素を水と酸素に分解する反応を触媒する酵素である。
なお、本発明において使用するアミノ酸脱水素酵素、補酵素再生能を有する酵素、D-アミノ酸オキシダーゼ、カタラーゼは、それぞれの酵素遺伝子を導入した形質転換体を育種し、培養して生産したものを使用してもよいし、複数の酵素遺伝子を導入した形質転換体を育種し、培養して生産したものを使用してもよい。
本発明の酸化的脱アミノ化反応による2-オキソ酸、又はD-アミノ酸の生産、還元アミノ化反応によるL-アミノ酸の生産、又は立体反転反応によるL-アミノ酸の生産は以下の方法で行なうことができる。
置換基を有していてもよい炭素数5~20のアラルキル基としては、特に限定されず、例えば、ベンジル基、インドリルメチル基、チアゾールメチル基、4-ヒドロキシベンジル基、ナフチルメチル基、アントラニルメチル基、ピリジルメチル基、ピリミジルメチル基、インダニルメチル基、インデニルメチル基、フェニルエチル基、フェニルプロピル基、フェニルブチル基、ジフェニルメチル基、2-フルオロベンジル基、3-フルオロベンジル基、4-フルオロベンジル基、又は3,4-メチレンジオキシベンジル基等が挙げられる。
酸化的脱アミノ化反応では、上記基質に前述のアミノ酸脱水素酵素、前述の補酵素再生能を有する酵素とその基質となる化合物を同時に存在させ、水性媒体中で反応を行なう。上記酸化的脱アミノ化反応には、NAD等の補酵素を添加してもよい。NAD等の補酵素を添加しない場合にも、微生物中に存在するNAD等の補酵素により反応が進行する場合もあるが、NAD等の補酵素を添加することで、反応の効率が向上することが期待できる。NAD等の補酵素の添加濃度としては、基質に対して、好ましくは0当量以上、2当量以下、より好ましくは0.00001当量以上、0.1当量以下、さらに好ましくは0.0001当量以上、0.01当量以下である。
還元アミノ化反応では、上記基質に前述のアミノ酸脱水素酵素、アンモニア又はその塩、および前述の補酵素再生能を有する酵素とその基質となる化合物を同時に存在させ、水性媒体中で反応を行なう。上記還元アミノ化反応には、NAD等の補酵素を添加してもよい。NAD等の補酵素を添加しない場合にも、微生物中に存在するNAD等の補酵素により反応が進行する場合もあるが、NAD等の補酵素を添加することで、反応の効率が向上することが期待できる。NAD等の補酵素の添加濃度としては、基質に対して、好ましくは0当量以上、2当量以下、より好ましくは0.00001当量以上、0.1当量以下、さらに好ましくは0.0001当量以上、0.01当量以下である。

生成したL-アミノ酸、2―オキソ酸、又はD-アミノ酸の単離は、常套分離方法、例えば、抽出、濃縮、晶析、またはカラムクロマトグラフィーなどの分離方法や、それらの組み合わせにより分離、精製することができる。
