PROCESS FOR THE ENZYMATIC PREPARATION OF 7AMINOCEPHALOSPORANIC ACID

PURIFIED ENZYMATIC PREPARATION DERIVED FROM CHROMOBACTERIUM VIOLACEUM, METHOD FOR PREPARING IT AND ITS USE IN THE PRODUCTION OF ALPHA, BETA° DEHYDROTRYPTOPHANYLPEPTIDES

Croux Clu-istian; Perez Javier C; Fuentes Jose L; Maldonado Francisco Madrid, SPAIN Assigned to Antibioticos S p A A process for the production of an E. coli strain producing high yields of 7 beta-(4carboxybutanamido) cephalosporin acylase, comprises: (a) digesting the DNA of a microorganism whine DNA includes the sequence encoding 7 beta- (4-earboxylmtanamido) cephalosporin acylase, and forming a plasmidic fibrary;(b) transforming, with the sequences in the plasmidic library,an auxotrephic E. coli host; (c) selecting for transformed E. coli hosts containing the acylase sequence by growth on a suitable medium; (d) isolating the vector containing the acylase sequence, digesting the vector, and ligating the DNA sequences obtained into an E. coil vector under control of an E. col/ promoter; (e) repeating selection procedure of step (c) ; (f) using the vectors from the selected E. coli hosts to transform an E. coli host lacking substantial betalactamase activity. 7-Aminocephalosporan/c acid and its derivatives can be prepared by reaction of substrates like 7 beta-(4-carboxybutanamido) cet~udosporan/c acid with 7 beta-(4catboxybetanamido) cephalosporin acylase produced by the E. coli strain produced by the above process.

Fromageot Pierre; Genet Roger le Chesnay, FRANCE Assigned to Commissariat a I~nergie Atomique Purified enzymatic preparation derived from Chromobacterium violaceum, having a dehydrogenase activity, method for preparing it and its use in the production of alpha, betadehydrou'yptophanyl-peptides. The said method for preparing alpha, beta-dehydrotryptophanylpeptides and alpha, beta-dehydrotryptophanylproteins is characterised in that one brings into contact: a peptide or a protein to be convened, and a purified enzymatic preparation having an Ltryptophan dehydroganase activity and having a specific activity of between 35 and 45 units.seconds-1 per mole of heme for N-acetyl-Ltryptophanamide (NATA), an apparent molecular weight of the order of 680 kDa, an isoelectric point of the order of 4, a temperature optimum for activity greater than 80 degrees C. and a temperature stability, at a pH of between 3 and 8 and at a temperature of between 20 degrees and 60 degrees C. Use of the dehydropeptides and dehydroproteins obtained as probes, reagents, drugs or cosmetic l~ducts.
