PROTEIN DAS AN EINER AKTIVIERUNG VON NITRIL HYDRATASE TEILNIMMT,GEN,PLASMID UND VERFAHREN ZUR HERSTELLUNG EINES AMID

摘要

The invention provides a nitrile hydratase activation protein characterised by participating in activation of nitrile hydratase derived from Pseudonocardia thermophila JCM3095, and a gene sequence encoding the same. Further, the invention provides a recombinant plasmid containing the gene, a recombinant plasmid containing the gene and a nitrile hydratase gene and a transformant strain obtained through transformation with the recombinant plasmids. A process for producing a corresponding amide compound from a nitrile compound uses a culture solution and cells obtained by incubating the transformant strain and treated products of the cells, and involves contacting said strain, culture solution and products with the nitrile compound.
