A novel amidase acting on (R,S)-piperazine-2-tert-butyl-carboxamide was purified fromPseudomonassp. MCI3434 and characterized. The enzyme acted R-stereoselectively on (R,S)-piperazine-2-tert-butylcarboxamide to yield (R)-piperazine-2-carboxylic acid, and was tentatively named R-amidase. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of the enzyme showed high sequence identity with that deduced from a gene named PA3598 encoding a hypothetical hydrolase in Pseudomonas aeruginosaPAO1. | Eur. J.

Aoba-ku Yokohama Kanagawa Japan A novel amidase acting on R S -piperazine-2-tert-butyl-carboxamide was purified from Pseudomonas sp. MCI3434 and characterized. The enzyme acted R-stereoselectively on R S -piperazine-2-tert-butylcarboxamide to yield R -piperazine-2-carboxylic acid and was tentatively named R-amidase. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of the enzyme showed high sequence identity with that deduced from a gene named PA3598 encoding a hypothetical hydrolase in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1. The gene encoding R-amidase was cloned from the genomic DNA of Pseudomonas sp. MCI3434 and sequenced. Analysis of 1332 bp of the genomic DNA revealed the presence of one open reading frame ramA which encodes the R-amidase. This enzyme RamA is composed of274 amino acid residues molecular mass 30 128 Da and the deduced amino acid sequence exhibits homology to a carbon-nitrogen hydrolase protein PP3846 from Pseudomonas putida strain KT2440 identity and PA3598 protein from P. aeruginosa strain PAO1 identity and may be classified into a new subfamily in the carbon-nitrogen hydrolase family consisting of aliphatic amidase b-ureidopropionase carbamylase nitrilase and so on. The amount of R-amidase in the supernatant of the sonicated cell-free extract of an Escherichia coli transformant overexpressing the ramA gene was about 30 000 times higher than that of Pseudomonas sp. MCI3434. The intact cells of the E. coli transformant could be used for the R-stereoselective hydrolysis of racemic pip-erazine-2-tert-butylcarboxamide.
