Hydratase

Lyases. These enzymes cleave C-C, C-0, C-N and other bonds by elimination leaving double bonds or conversely add groups to double bonds. This group includes decarboxylases, hydratases, dehydratases and some carboxylases. [Pg.159]

Hydrolysis of Nitriles. The chemical hydrolysis of nitriles to acids takes place only under strong acidic or basic conditions and may be accompanied by formation of unwanted and sometimes toxic by-products. Enzymatic hydrolysis of nitriles by nitrile hydratases, nittilases, and amidases is often advantageous since amides or acids can be produced under very mild conditions and in a stereo- or regioselective manner (114,115). [Pg.344]

There are two distinct classes of enzymes that hydrolyze nitriles. Nittilases (EC 3.5.5. /) hydrolyze nittiles directiy to corresponding acids and ammonia without forming the amide. In fact, amides are not substrates for these enzymes. Nittiles also may be first hydrated by nittile hydratases to yield amides which are then converted to carboxyUc acid with amidases. This is a two-enzyme process, in which enantioselectivity is generally exhibited by the amidase, rather than the hydratase. [Pg.344]

The hydrolysis of nitriles can be carried out with either isolated enzymes or immobilized cells. Eor example, resting cells of P. chlororaphis can accumulate up to 400 g/L of acrylamide in 8 h, provided acrylonitrile is added gradually to avoid nitrile hydratase inhibition (116). The degree of acrylonitrile conversion to acrylamide is 99% without any formation of acryUc acid. Because of its high efficiency the process has been commercialized and currentiy is used by Nitto Chemical Industry Co. on a multithousand ton scale. [Pg.344]

Enoyl-CoA Hydratase Adds Water Across the Double Bond... [Pg.787]

FIGURE 24.15 The conversion of trans- and m-enoyl CoA derivatives to l- and d-/3-hydroxyacyl CoA, respectively. These reactions are catalyzed by enoyl-CoA hydratases (also called crotonases), enzymes that vary in their acyl-chain length specificity. A recently discovered enzyme converts ram-enoyl-CoA directly to D-/3-hydroxyacyl-CoA. [Pg.787]

Polyunsaturated fatty acids pose a slightly more complicated situation for the cell. Consider, for example, the case of linoleic acid shown in Figure 24.24. As with oleic acid, /3-oxidation proceeds through three cycles, and enoyl-CoA isomerase converts the cA-A double bond to a trans-b double bond to permit one more round of /3-oxidation. What results this time, however, is a cA-A enoyl-CoA, which is converted normally by acyl-CoA dehydrogenase to a trans-b, cis-b species. This, however, is a poor substrate for the enoyl-CoA hydratase. This problem is solved by 2,4-dienoyl-CoA reductase, the product of which depends on the organism. The mammalian form of this enzyme produces a trans-b enoyl product, as shown in Figure 24.24, which can be converted by an enoyl-CoA isomerase to the trans-b enoyl-CoA, which can then proceed normally through the /3-oxidation pathway. Escherichia coli possesses a... [Pg.794]

Step 2 of Figure 29.3 Conjugate Addition of Water The a,(3-unsaturated acyl CoA produced in step 1 reacts with water by a conjugate addition pathway (Section 19.13) to yield a jG-hydroxyacyl CoA in a process catalyzed by enoyl CoA hydratase. Water as nucleophile adds to the 3 carbon of the double bond, yielding an enolate ion intermediate that is protonated on the a position. [Pg.1135]

As illustrated in Figure A8.3 nitrilases catalyse conversions of nitriles directly into the corresponding carboxylic adds (route A), while other nitrile converting enzymes, die nitrile hydratases, catalyse the conversion of nitriles into amides (route B) which, by the action of amidases usually present in the whole cell preparations, are readily transformed into carboxylic adds (route C). [Pg.279]

L-Amino adds could be produced from D,L-aminonitriles with 50% conversion using Pseudomonas putida and Brembacterium sp respectively, the remainder being the corresponding D-amino add amide. However, this does not prove the presence of a stereoselective nitrilase. It is more likely that the nitrile hydratase converts the D,L-nitrile into the D,L-amino add amide, where upon a L-spedfic amidase converts the amide further into 50% L-amino add and 50% D-amino add amide. In this respect the method has no real advantage over the process of using a stereospecific L-aminopeptidase (vide supra). [Pg.280]

Enzymes 7,9, and 13 form a trifunctional protein associated with the inner face of the inner mitochondrial membrane. Very-long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase is also associated with other inner mitochondrial membranes while the other enzymes are in the matrix and may be loosely associated with the inner face of the inner membrane. A medium-chain 2-enoyl-CoA hydratase may also be present in the mitochondrial matrix. [Pg.114]

In industrial processes, 1,3-propanediol is used for the production of polyester fibers, polyurethanes and cydic compounds [85]. 1,3-Propanediol can be produced from glucose with the limiting step catalyzed by glycerol dehydratase. A metagenomic survey for glycerol hydratases from the environment resulted in seven positive clones, one of which displayed a level of catalytic efficiency and stability making it ideal for application in the produdion of 1,3-propanediol from glucose. [Pg.79]

Enantioselective transformations of several cyclopropane or oxirane-containing nitriles were studied using nitrile-transforming enzymes [78]. Microbial Rhodococcus sp. whole cells containing a nitrile hydratase/amidase system hydrolyzed a number... [Pg.144]

Both cis- and trans-chrysanthemic nitriles and amides were resolved into highly enantiopure amides and acids by Rhodococcus sp. whole cells [85]. The overall enantioselectivity of reactions of nitriles originated from the combined effects of a higher (lJ )-selective amidase and a (IJ )-selective nitrile hydratase (Figure 6.29). Chrysanthemic acids are related to constituents of pyrethrum flowers and insecticides. [Pg.145]

The addition of HCN to aldehydes or ketones produces cyanohydrins (a-hydroxy nitriles). Cyanohydrins racemize under basic conditions through reversible loss of FiCN as illustrated in Figure 6.30. Enantiopure a-hydroxy acids can be obtained via the DKR of racemic cyanohydrins in the presence of an enantioselective nitriletransforming enzyme [86-88]. Many nitrile hydratases are metalloenzymes sensitive to cyanide and a nitrilase is usually used in this biotransformation. The DKR of mandelonitrile has been extended to an industrial process for the manufacture of (R)-mandelic acid [89]. [Pg.145]

The biocatalytic differentiation of enantiotopic nitrile groups in prochiral or meso substrates has been studied by several research groups. For instance, the nitrilase-catalyzed desymmetrization of 3-hydroxyglutaronitrile [92,93] followed by an esterification provided ethyl-(Jl)-4-cyano-3-hydroxybutyrate, a useful intermediate in the synthesis of cholesterol-lowering dmg statins (Figure 6.32) [94,95]. The hydrolysis of prochiral a,a-disubstituted malononitriles by a Rhodococcus strain expressing nitrile hydratase/amidase activity resulted in the formation of (R)-a,a-disubstituted malo-namic acids (Figure 6.33) [96]. [Pg.146]

Citrate is isomerized to isocitrate by the enzyme aconitase (aconitate hydratase) the reaction occurs in two steps dehydration to r-aconitate, some of which remains bound to the enzyme and rehydration to isocitrate. Although citrate is a symmetric molecule, aconitase reacts with citrate asymmetrically, so that the two carbon atoms that are lost in subsequent reactions of the cycle are not those that were added from acetyl-CoA. This asymmetric behavior is due to channeling— transfer of the product of citrate synthase directly onto the active site of aconitase without entering free solution. This provides integration of citric acid cycle activity and the provision of citrate in the cytosol as a source of acetyl-CoA for fatty acid synthesis. The poison fluo-roacetate is toxic because fluoroacetyl-CoA condenses with oxaloacetate to form fluorocitrate, which inhibits aconitase, causing citrate to accumulate. [Pg.130]
