| Summary: | Bioproduction of 5-aminovalerate (5AVA) from renewable feedstock can support a sustainable biorefinery process to produce bioplastics, such as nylon 5 and nylon 56. In order to achieve the biobased production of 5AVA, a 2-keto-6-aminocaproate-mediated synthetic pathway was established. Combination of L-Lysine α-oxidase from Scomber japonicus, α-ketoacid decarboxylase from Lactococcus lactis and aldehyde dehydrogenase from Escherichia coli could achieve the biosynthesis of 5AVA from biobased L-Lysine in E. coli. The H2O2 produced by L-Lysine α-oxidase was decomposed by the expression of catalase KatE. Finally, 52.24 g/L of 5AVA were obtained through fed-batch biotransformation. Moreover, homology modeling, molecular docking and molecular dynamic simulation analyses were used to identify mutation sites and propose a possible trait-improvement strategy: the expanded catalytic channel of mutant and more hydrogen bonds formed might be beneficial for the substrates stretch. In summary, we have developed a promising artificial pathway for efficient 5AVA synthesis.
