Abstract
The present invention provides a nitrilase mutant protein with increased thermal stability and its application in the synthesis of an anti-epileptic drug intermediate, wherein the mutant is obtained by mutating one or two of the amino acids at position 151, 223 and 250 of the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID No. 2. the thermal stability of the nitrilase mutant AcN-T151V/C223A/C250G was increased by up to 1.73 folds. The yield of the final product was up to 95% using the recombinantcontaining the nitrilase mutant to hydrolyze 1M 1-cyanocyclohexylacetonitrile to produce 1-cyanocyclohexyl acetic acid at 35° C. And the yield of the final product was up to 97% when hydrolyzing 1.2M 1-cyanocyclohexylacetonitrile at 35° C. The final yield was up to 80% when using the nitrilase mutants obtained by the present invention to synthesize gabapentin.
