    Notes: Abstract β-Carboxy-cis,cis-muconate lactonizing enzyme and γ-carboxymuconolactone decarboxylase catalyze sequential reactions in the β-ketoadipate pathway, the subunit sizes of the enzymes from Pseudomonas putida, biotype A, are 40000 and 13000, respectively. The cross reaction of antisera prepared against the enzymes was tested with the isofunctional enzymes formed by representatives of other bacterial species. Despite the differences in the subunit sizes of the enzymes, the antisera revealed the same general pattern: cross reaction was observed with the corresponding enzymes formed by other strains in the fluorescent Pseudomonas RNA homology group I and generally was not observed with enzymes from other Pseudomonas species or from other bacterial genera. Exceptions were provided by representatives of Pseudomonas cepacia. Members of this species are classified outside the fluorescent Pseudomonas RNA homology group. Nevertheless, the γ-carboxymuconolactone decarboxylases from these organisms formed precipitin bands with antisera prepared against the corresponding enzyme from P. putida, biotype A; the lactonizing enzymes from the two species did not appear to cross react. Immunodiffusion experiments with γ-carboxymuconolactone decarboxylase indicated that a common set of antigenic determinants for the enzyme is conserved among strains that have been classified together by other criteria; the relative immunological distances of the decarboxylases of each taxon from the reference P. putida, biotype A, enzyme were indicated by spurring patterns on Ouchterlony plates. These results suggested that the interspecific transfer of the structural gene for the enzyme is not a common event in Pseudomonas.

    Notes: Abstract Procedures for the purification of an aldehyde dehydrogenase from extracts of the obligate methylotroph, Methylomonas methylovora are described. The purified enzyme is homogeneous as judged from polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. In the presence of an artificial electron acceptor (phenazine methosulfate), the purified enzyme catalyzes the oxidation of straight chain aldehydes (C1-C10 tested), aromatic aldehydes (benzaldehyde, salicylaldehyde), glyoxylate, and glyceraldehyde. Biological electron acceptors such as NAD+, NADP+, FAD, FMN, pyridoxal phosphate, and cytochrome c cannot act as electron carriers. The activity of the enzyme is inhibited by sulfhydryl agents [p-chloromercuribenzoate, N-ethylmaleimide and 5,5-dithiobis (2-nitrobenzoic acid)], cuprous chloride, and ferrour nitrate. The molecular weight of the enzyme as estimated by gel filtration is approximately 45000 and the subunit size determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel electrophoresis is approximately 23000. The purified enzyme is light brown and has an absorption peak at 410 nm. Reduction of enzyme with sodium dithionite or aldehyde substrate resulted in the appearance of peaks at 523 nm and 552 nm. These results suggest that the enzyme is a hemoprotein. There was no evidence that flavins were present as prosthetic group. The amino acid composition of the enzyme is also presented.

    Notes: Abstract In collaboration with the National Cancer Institute, Bristol-Myers Squibb has developed paclitaxel for treatment of various cancers; it has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of ovarian and metastatic breast cancer. Originally paclitaxel was isolated and purified from the bark of Pacific yew trees. This source of paclitaxel was considered to be economically and ecologically unsuitable as it required the destruction of the yew trees. This review article describes alternate methods for the production of paclitaxel, specifically, a semisynthetic approach and the application of biocatalysis in enabling the semisynthesis of paclitaxel. Three novel enzymes were discovered in our laboratory that converted the variety of taxanes to a single molecule, namely 10-deacetylbaccatin III (paclitaxel without C-13 side chain and C-10 acetate), a precursor for paclitaxel semisynthesis. These enzymes are C-13 taxolase (catalyzes the cleavage of C-13 side chain of various taxanes), C-10 deacetylase (catalyzes the cleavage of C-10 acetate of various taxanes), and C-7 xylosidase (catalyzes the cleavage of C-7 xylose from various xylosyltaxanes). Using a biocatalytic approach, paclitaxel and a variety of taxane in extracts of a variety of Taxus cultivars were converted to a 10-deacetylbaccatin III. The concentration of 10-deacetylbaccatin III was increased by 5.5- to 24-fold in the extracts treated with the enzymes, depending upon the type of Taxus cultivars used. Biocatalytic processes have also been described for the preparation of C-13 paclitaxel side chain synthons. The chemical coupling of 10-deacetylbaccatin III or baccatin III to C-13 paclitaxel side chain has been summarized to prepare paclitaxel by semisynthesis.

    Notes: Summary A key intermediate, S-(−)-3-benzoylthio-2-methylpropanoic acid (1) was made in high optical purity by the lipase-catalyzed stereoselective esterification of racemic 1 with methanol in an organic solvent system. Among various lipases evaluated, Amano P-30 lipase from Pseudomonas sp. efficiently catalyzed the esterification of 1 to yield R-(+) methyl ester and unreacted S-(−) 1. A reaction yield of 40 mol% and an optical purity of 97.2% were obtained for compound 1 at a substrate concentration of 0.1 m (22 mg/ml). Lipase P-30 was immobilized on Accurel polypropylene (PP) and the immobilized enzyme was reused (23 cycles) in the esterification reaction without loss of enzyme acitivity, productivity or optical purity. Among various solvents evaluated, toluene was found to be the most suitable organic solvent and methanol was the best alcohol for the esterification of racemic 1 by immobilized lipase. Substrate concentrations as high as 1.0 m were used in the esterification reaction. When the temperature was increased from 28° C to 60° C, the reaction time required for the esterification of 0.1 m substrate decreased from 16 h to 2 h. On increasing the methanol to substrate molar ratio from 1:1 to 4:1, the rate of esterification decreased. A lipase fermentation using Pseudomonas sp. ATCC 21 808 was developed. In the batch-fermentation process, 56 units/ml of extracellular lipase activity was obtained. A fed-batch process using soybean oil gave a significant increase in the lipase activity (126 units/ml). Crude lipase recovered from the filtrate by ethanol precipitation and immobilized on Accurel PP was also effective: S-(−) compound 1 was obtained in 35 mol% yield and 95% optical purity.

    Notes: Summary Biotransformations were developed to oxidize Nε-carbobenzoxy(CBZ)-l-lysine and to reduce the product keto acid to l-CBZ-oxylysine. Lysyl oxidase (l-lysine: O2 oxidoreductase, EC 1.4.3.14) from Trichoderma viride was relatively specific for l-lysine and had very low activity with Nε-substituted derivatives. l-Amino acid oxidase (l-amino acid: O2 oxidoreductase [deaminating], EC 1.4.3.2) from Crotalus adamanteus venom had low activity with l-lysine but high activity with Nε-formyl-, t-butyoxycarbonyl(BOC)-, acetyl-, trifluoroacetyl-, or CBZ-l-lysine. l-2-Hydroxyisocaproate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.-) from Lactobacillus confusus catalyzed the reduction by NADH of the keto acids from Nε-acetyl-, trifluoroacetyl-, formyl- and CBZ-l-lysine but was inactive with the products from oxidation of l-lysine, l-lysine methyl ester, l-lysine ethyl ester or Nε-t-BOC-l-lysine. Providencia alcalifaciens (SC9036, ATCC 13159) was a good microbial substitute for the snake venom oxidase and also provided catalase (H2O2:H2O2 oxidoreductase EC 1.11.1.6). Nε-CBZ-l-Lysine was converted to CBZ-l-oxylysine in 95% yield with 98.5% optical purity by oxidation using P. alcalifaciens cells followed by reduction of the keto acid using l-2-hydroxyisocaproate dehydrogenase. NADH was regenerated using formate dehydrogenase (formate: NAD oxidoreductase, EC 1.2.1.2) from Candida boidinii. The Providencia oxidase was localized in the particulate fraction and catalase activity was predominantly in the soluble fraction of sonicated cells. The pH optima and kinetic constants were determined for the reactions.
