Cyclohexylamine (CHAM) is widely used in various industries, but it is harmful to human beings and the environment. sp. YT-02 can degrade CHAM via cyclohexanone as an intermediate. In this study, the cyclohexylamine oxidase (CHAO) gene from sp. YT-02 was cloned. Amino acid sequence alignment indicated that the cyclohexylamine oxidase (CHAO) was 48% identical to its homolog from IH-35A (CHAO). The enzyme was expressed in BL21 (DE3), and purified to apparent homogeneity by Ni-affinity chromatography. The purified enzyme was proposed to be a dimer of molecular mass of approximately 91 kDa. The enzyme exhibited its maximum activity at 50°C and at pH 7.0. The enzyme was thermolabile as demonstrated by loss of important percentage of its maximal activity after 30 min incubation at 50°C. Metal ions Mg, Co, and K had certain inhibitory effect on the enzyme activity. The kinetic parameters and were 0.25 ± 0.02 mM and 4.3 ± 0.083 μM min, respectively. The biochemical properties, substrate specificities, and three-dimensional structures of CHAO and CHAO were compared. Our results are helpful to elucidate the mechanism of microbial degradation of CHAM in the strain YT-02. In addition, CHAO, as a potential biocatalyst, is promising in controlling CHAM pollution and deracemization of chiral amines.

Optically pure 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines (THQs) represent a class of important motifs in many natural products and pharmaceutical agents. While recent advances on redox biocatalysis have demonstrated the great potential of amine oxidases, all the transformations focused on 2-substituted THQs. The corresponding biocatalytic method for the preparation of chiral 4-substituted THQs is still challenging due to the poor activity and stereoselectivity of the available enzyme.

Optically active β-amino alcohols are very useful chiral intermediates frequently used in the preparation of pharmaceutically active substances. Here, a novel cyclohexylamine oxidase (ArCHAO) was identified from the genome sequence of Arthrobacter sp. TYUT010-15 with the R-stereoselective deamination activity of β-amino alcohol.

()-1-(4-Methoxybenzyl)-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octahydroisoquinoline [()-1-(4-methoxybenzyl)-OHIQ, ()-] is a key synthetic intermediate in the industrial production of dextromethorphan, one of the most widely used over-the-counter antitussives. We report here that a new cyclohexylamine oxidase discovered by genome mining, named CHAO, was able to completely deracemize 100 mM under Turner's deracemization conditions to afford ()- in 80% isolated yield and 99% ee at a semipreparative scale (0.4 mmol).
