Highly Regioselective and Stereoselective Hydroxylation of Free Amino Acids by a 2-Oxoglutarate-Dependent Dioxygenase from Kutzneria albida.

ABSTRACT: Hydroxyl amino acids have tremendous potential applications in food and pharmaceutical industries. However, available dioxygenases are limited for selective and efficient hydroxylation of free amino acids. Here, we identified a 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase from Kutzneria albida by gene mining and characterized the encoded protein (KaPH1). KaPH1 was estimated to have a molecular weight of 29 kDa. The optimal pH and temperature for its l-proline hydroxylation activity were 6.5 and 30 °C, respectively. The K _m and k _cat values of KaPH1 were 1.07 mM and 0.54 s^-1, respectively, for this reaction by which 120 mM l-proline was converted to trans-4-hydroxy-l-proline with 92.8% yield (3.93 g·L^-1·h
