Abstract  

Hydroxyl amino acids are a novel kind of amino acid derivatives, which are widely used as a chemically synthetic intermediate.A novel L-leucine-5-hydroxylase (NmLEH) from Nostoc minutum was cloned and inserted into recombinant plasmid, and its expression conditions were optimized. The results showed that when the enzyme was transferred into the BL21 (DE3) host, the induction temperature was 25℃ and the IPTG induction concentration was 0.5mmol/L, the expression levels of NmLEH was highest after induction of 10 (0.45 mg/ml). Using purification process of Ni-affinity chromatography and gel filtration, highly purified recombinant NmLEH was obtained. The enzymatic properties of NmLEH were characterized, and the optimum reaction temperature of the enzyme was 25℃, and the optimum pH was 7.5; the NmLEH enzyme was active at pH 7.0-9.0, and the optimum substrate for the NmLEH were the leucine and methionine. Sequence alignment and phylogenesis analysis implied that residues of H150, H236 and D152 constitute the catalytic triad of NmLEH, which is completely conserved in the Fe(II)/αKG-dependent dioxygenase [Fe(II)/αKG-Dos] superfamily. The formation mechanism of catalytic active site was analyzed based on NmLEH structural model analysis.
