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.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An engineered polypeptide having transaminase activity comprising an amino acid sequence having at least 90% sequence identity to reference sequence of SEQ ID NO:2 and an amino acid residue difference as compared to SEQ ID NO:2 at position 126, wherein said amino acid residue at position 126 is alanine, and further wherein said engineered polypeptide is capable of converting a substrate compound (2)

to a product compound (1)

under suitable reaction conditions.

2. The engineered polypeptide of claim 1 , in which the amino acid sequence further comprises one or more residue differences as compared to SEQ ID NO:2, selected from: X5K, X33L, X36C, X41C/F/K/M/N/R, X42A/G, X44Q, X48D/E/G/K/T, X49T, X51K, X54P, X55L, X76S, X108V, X117G, X122F/Q, X148Q, X150A/F, X152S/T, X155A/I/K/L/T/V, X156Q/R/S, X160P, X164P, X165N, X182T, X215G/H/L, X218M, X241R, X267V, X270T, X273H, X325M, and X328I.
