Abstract

L-Asparagine, a crucial amino acid widely used in both food and medicine, presents pollution-related and side reaction challenges when prepared using chemical synthesis method. Although biotransformation methods offer significant advantages such as high efficiency and mild reaction conditions, they also entail increased costs due to the need for ATP supplementation. This study aimed to address the challenges associated with biopreparation of L-asparagine. Firstly, the functionality and characteristics of recombinant L-asparagine synthetase enzymes derived from Escherichia coli and Lactobacillus salivarius were evaluated to determine their practical applicability. Subsequently, recombinant expression of polyphosphate kinase from Erysipelotrichaceae bacterium was conducted. A reaction system for L-asparagine synthesis was established using a dual enzyme-coupled conversion approach. Under the optimal reaction conditions, a maximum yield of 11.67 g/L of L-asparagine was achieved, with an 88.43% conversion rate, representing a 5.03-fold increase compared to the initial conversion conditions. Notably, the initial addition of ATP was reduced to only 5.66% of the theoretical demand, indicating the effectiveness of our ATP regeneration system. These findings highlight the potential of our approach in enhancing the efficiency of L-asparagine preparation, offering promising prospects for the food and medical industries.
