Abstract
The present disclosure provides engineered transaminase polypeptides useful for the synthesis of chiral amine compounds under industrially relevant conditions. The disclosure also provides polynucleotides encoding the engineered transaminase polypeptides, host cells capable of expressing the engineered transaminases, and methods of using the engineered transaminases for the production of chiral amine compounds.
Claims (11)
1. An engineered polynucleotide encoding an engineered transaminase having an amino acid sequence of at least 85% identity to SEQ ID NO: 8, or a functional fragment thereof, and a set of substitutions at positions 21/163/323/408, in said amino acid sequence , wherein the positions of said substitutions are numbered with reference to SEQ ID NO: 8 and wherein the engineered transaminase exhibits an increased enzymatic activity relative to an engineered transaminase having the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:8.
2. The polynucleotide of claim 1 , wherein said polynucleotide encodes an engineered transaminase having a polypeptide sequence and further comprising at least one substitution or set of substitutions at one or more positions selected from: 5, 18/23/149/260/383/395/401/416, 18/23/149/383, 18/163/164, 163/315/316, 23/56/86/149/163/164/383/401/416, 23/86, 23/149/260, 23/149/284/383/395, 23/163/164/383, 23/163/164/401/416, 24, 42, 42/110, 42/187/272, 42/187/324/363/366, 42/187/353, 42/272/291, 42/272/291/363, 42/272/324/363/366, 42/272/363/410, 42/272/410, 42/291/313/363/410, 42/291/363, 42/291/363/366, 42/353, 42/363, 46, 66, 77, 86/149/163/164/383/395/401, 86/149/395, 86/163/164/260/383, 86/383,107, 110, 110/187, 110/187/253/410, 134, 138, 149/164/260/383/395/401, 149/260/383, 149/416, 163/259/323, 163/259/408, 163/315/316, 164/260/401, 164/316/383/401, 167, 186, 187, 187/253/363/366, 187/272/324/363/410, 187/272/363, 187/272/363/366/410, 187/291, 189, 191, 195, 199, 203, 210, 211, 248, 259/307, 260/395/401, 272, 272/353, 272/363/366, 272/410, 277, 291, 305, 309, 315, 342, 343, 351, 354, 358, 361, 362, 363, 363/366, 365, 367, 383, 383/401, 383/416/422, 385, 388, 389, 392, 395, 396, 401, 404, 405, 410, 416, 417, 439, 443, 447, 450, and 451, and wherein the amino acid positions are numbered with reference to SEQ ID NO:8.
