Bioconversion of arachidonic acid into human 14,15-hepoxilin B3 and 13,14,15-trioxilin B3 by recombinant cells expressing microbial 15-lipoxygenase without and with epoxide hydrolase
Objective
To produce high concentrations of 13-hydroxy-14,15-epoxy-eicosatrienoic acid (14,15-hepoxilin B
3
, 14,15-HXB
3
) and 13,14,15-trihydroxy-eicosatrienoic acid (13,14,15-trioxilin B
3
, 13,14,15-TrXB
3
) from arachidonic acid (ARA) using microbial 15-lipoxygenase (15-LOX) without and with epoxide hydrolase (EH), respectively.
Results
The products obtained from the bioconversion of ARA by recombinant
Escherichia coli
cells containing
Archangium violaceum
15-LOX without and with
Myxococcus xanthus
EH were identified as 14,15-HXB
3
and 13,14,15-TrXB
3
, respectively. Under the optimal conditions of 30 g cells L
−1
, 200 mM ARA, 25 °C, and initial pH 7.5, the cells converted 200 mM ARA into 192 mM 14,15-HXB
3
and 100 mM 13,14,15-TrXB
3
for 150 min, with conversion yields of 96 and 51% and productivities of 77 and 40 mM h
−1
, respectively.
Conclusion
These are the highest concentrations, productivities, and yields of hepoxilin and trioxilin from ARA reported thus far.
