A gene encoding an enantioselective amidase (KamH) was cloned from Klebsiella oxytoca KCTC 1686 and inserted into the EcoRI and HindIII sites of the vector pET-30a(+). When KamH with a peptide containing a His-tag and an enterokinase cleavage site was overexpressed in Escherichia coli, approximately half was found in the soluble fraction, but it lacked activity. After cleavage of the peptide by enterokinase, the enzyme activity was partly restored, reaching 420.2 ± 33.62 U/g dry cell weight (DCW). Another recombinant plasmid was constructed by inserting the KamH gene into the NdeI and EcoRI sites of pET-30a(+) to express KamH in its native form. The overexpressed amidase was found primarily in the soluble fraction and its maximum activity was 3613.4 ± 201.68 U/g DCW. This indicated that the peptide influenced not only soluble expression but also activity of KamH, perhaps by blocking the substrate-binding tunnel of KamH. Similar results were obtained with heterologously expressed amidases from Rhodococcus erythropolis MP50 and Agrobacterium tumefaciens d3. All of these amidases have an N-terminal α-helical domain. Therefore, amidases of this type may be functionally expressed in their native form. KamH hydrolyzed a range of aliphatic and aromatic amides and exhibited strict S-selectivity towards racemic amides.

Bacterial strain ZJB-09211 capable of amidase production has recently been isolated from soil samples. The strain is able to asymmetrically hydrolyze l-tryptophanamide from d,l-tryptophanamide to produce l-tryptophan in high yield and with excellent stereoselectivity (enantiomeric excess > 99.9 %, and enantiomeric ratio > 200). Strain ZJB-09211 has been identified as Flavobacterium aquatile based on the cell morphology analysis, physiological tests, and the 16S rDNA sequence analysis. Optimization of the fermentation medium led to an about six-fold increase in the amidase activity of strain ZJB-09211, which reached 501.5 U L-1. Substrate specifity and stereoselectivity investigations revealed that amidase of F. aquatile possessed a broad substrate spectrum and high enantioselectivity.

R-Stereoselective amidase, a key enzyme responsible for the formation of chiral center of cilastatin, has been cloned from Delftia tsuruhatensis and expressed in Escherichia coli under T7 promoter. This recombinant amidase exhibits strict R-selectivity towards 2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxamide (DMCPCA). The amidase activity of the engineered E. coli strain reached 2963 U/L in a 5-L bioreactor, which was 8.27 times higher than that of D. tsuruhatensis, and was further increased to 5255 U/L in a 100-L bioreactor. Using cell-free extract prepared from 1 kg (wet cell weight) of recombinant E. coli cells as catalyst, 60 kg of R,S-DMCPCA was resolved into S-DMCPCA (28.6 kg) and R-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid (R-DMCPCS 31.7 kg) in 18 h, and the enantiomeric excess (ee) value of S-DMCPCA reached 99.32%. During the purification process, 24.6 kg of S-DMCPCA was eluted from adsorption resin HZ801 with 80% (v/v) acetone, and then 20.5 kg of pure S-DMCPCA was obtained after concentration and crystallization, corresponding to a total yield of 34.2% from R,S-DMCPCA. Therefore, the industrial production process of S-DMCPCA was successfully established using recombinant R-amidase from D. tsuruhatensis.
