The enzyme involved in the reduction of Δ1-piperideine-6- carboxylate (P6C) to L-pipecolic acid (L-PA) has never been identified. We found that Escherichia coli JM109 transformed with the lat gene encoding L-lysine 6-aminotransferase (LAT) converted L-lysine (L-Lys) to L-PA. This suggested that there is a gene encoding "P6C reductase" that catalyzes the reduction of P6C to L-PA in the genome of E. coli. The complementation experiment of proC32 in E. coli RK4904 for L-PA production clearly shows that the expression of both lat and proC is essential for the biotransformation of L-Lys to L-PA. Further, We showed that both LAT and pyrroline-5-carboxylate (P5C) reductase, the product of proC, were needed to convert L-Lys to L-PA in vitro. These results demonstrate that P5C reductase catalyzes the reduction of P6C to L-PA. Biotransformation of L-Lys to L-PA using lat-expressing E. coli BL21 was done and L-PA was accumulated in the medium to reach at an amount of 3.9 g/l after 159 h of cultivation. It is noteworthy that the ee-value of the produced pipecolic acid was 100%.
