  • Publication number: 20240101974
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a D-amino acid oxidase mutant and application in preparing L-glufosinate thereof. The D-amino acid oxidase mutant has an amino acid substitution at at least one of position 62 and position 226 of an amino acid sequence of the D-amino acid oxidase mutant when compared to an amino acid sequence of a D-amino acid oxidase as set forth in SEQ ID NO. 1, the position 62 and position 226 being defined with reference to SEQ ID NO. 1, and the amino acid sequence of the D-amino acid oxidase mutant having at least 90% identity to SEQ ID NO. 1.

  • Patent number: 10774355
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a genetically-engineered Mycobacterium strain and a use thereof in the preparation of steroidal compounds. The genetically-engineered Mycobacterium strain is a Mycobacteria which lacks of acyl-CoA dehydrogenase genes fadE31, fadE32 and fadE33, wherein acyl-CoA dehydrogenase genes fadE31, fadE32 and fadE33 respectively encode proteins as follows: having amino acid sequences according to SEQ ID NOs 4, 6 and 8; derived by substituting, deleting or inserting one or more amino acids in the amino acid sequence defined by preceding protein and having the same function as that of the preceding protein. The present invention constructs a genetically-engineered Mycobacterium strain and applies it in preparing steroidal compounds, thereby enriching the types of valuable intermediates, improving the production efficiency and product quality of steroid drugs, reducing energy consumption in the steroid drugs production, simplifying production steps, and reducing production costs.

  • Patent number: 10351891
    Abstract: The present invention provides a hydroxyacyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase gene, an acyl-coenzyme A thiolase gene, genetically engineered strains and a use thereof. The hydroxyacyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase gene encodes a protein (i) or (ii) as follows: (i) having an amino acid sequence according to SEQ ID NO 2; (ii) derived by substituting, deleting or inserting one or more amino acids in the amino acid sequence defined by (i) and having the same function as that of the protein of (i). The present invention constructs genetically engineered Mycobacterium strains lacking of a hydroxyacyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase gene or an acyl-coenzyme A thiolase gene, which are used in the preparation of steroidal compounds, such as 1,4-BNA, 4-BNA, 9-OH-BNA, etc.
