A nitrile hydratase (NHase) gene fromAurantimonas manganoxydans,cloned and expressed inEscherichia coli, gave an enzyme that efficiently hydrated 3-cyanopyridine to nicotinamide with high thermal stability. We have now found that adding Co2+at 0.1 mM to LB medium was essential for production of an active enzyme. However, ≥0.3 mM Co2+inhibited the growth of host cells in LB medium and decreased the production of the recombinant NHase. Furthermore, β-mercaptoethanol promoted regeneration of the Co2+-defective apoenzyme in vitro possibly by breaking a key disulfide bond thereby promoting the incorporation of Co2+into the apoenzyme.
