Abstract

The present invention provides a modified ethylenediamine-N,N′-disuccinate:ethylenediamine lyase. The present invention also provides a protein that comprises the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 1; or a protein that comprises an amino acid sequence derived from the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 1 by deletion, substitution, or addition of one or more amino acid residues, and has an ethylenediamine-N,N′-disuccinate:ethylenediamine lyase activity.

Claims (12)

1. A method of producing a diaminoalkylene-N,N′-disuccinate, the method comprising:

reacting fumaric acid and a diamine in the presence of a host transformant or transductant comprising a recombinant expression vector comprising a gene encoding a protein having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 or having an amino acid sequence derived from the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 by substitution of one to ten amino acid residues, wherein the protein has ethylenediamine-N,N′-disuccinate:ethylenediamine lyase activity; and

collecting the diaminoalkylene-N,N′-disuccinate resulting from the reaction products, wherein the protein has ethylenediamine-N,N′-disuccinate:ethylenediamine lyase activity that is heat resistant.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the gene encodes a protein having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the protein has an amino acid sequence derived from the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 by substitution of a glutamic acid residue for the lysine residue at position 120 of SEQ ID NO: 1.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the protein has an amino acid sequence derived from the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 by substitution of a serine residue for the isoleucine residue at position 166 of SEQ ID NO: 1.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the protein has an amino acid sequence derived from the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 by substitution of a threonine residue for the isoleucine residue at position 166 of SEQ ID NO: 1.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the protein has an amino acid sequence derived from the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 by substitution of a valine residue for the alanine residue at position 365 of SEQ ID NO: 1.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the protein has an amino acid sequence derived from the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 by substitution of a serine residue for the isoleucine residue at position 166 and substitution of a valine residue for the alanine residue at position 365 of SEQ ID NO: 1.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the protein has an amino acid sequence derived from the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 by substitution of a threonine residue for the isoleucine residue at position 166 and substitution of a valine residue for the alanine residue at position 365 of SEQ ID NO: 1.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the protein has an amino acid sequence derived from the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 by substitution of a glutamic acid residue for the lysine residue at position 120, substitution of a serine residue for the isoleucine residue at position 166 and substitution of a valine residue for the alanine residue at position 365 of SEQ ID NO: 1.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the protein has an amino acid sequence derived from the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 by substitution of a glutamic acid residue for the lysine residue at position 120, substitution of a threonine residue for the isoleucine residue at position 166 and substitution of a valine residue for the alanine residue at position 365 of SEQ ID NO: 1.
