In vitro enzyme-based ATP regeneration systems are important for improving yields of ATP-dependent enzymatic reactions for preparative organic synthesis and biocatalysis. Several enzymatic ATP regeneration systems have been described but have some disadvantages. We report here on the use of polyphosphate:AMP phosphotransferase (PPT) from Acinetobacter johnsonii strain 210A in an ATP regeneration system based on the use of polyphosphate (polyP) and AMP as substrates. We have examined the substrate specificity of PPT and demonstrated ATP regeneration from AMP and polyP using firefly luciferase and hexokinase as model ATP-requiring enzymes. PPT catalyzes the reaction polyP(n) + AMP --&gt; ADP + polyP(n-1). The ADP can be converted to ATP by adenylate kinase (AdK). Substrate specificity with nucleoside and 2'-deoxynucleoside monophosphates was examined using partially purified PPT by measuring the formation of nucleoside diphosphates with high-pressure liquid chromatography. AMP and 2'-dAMP were efficiently phosphorylated to ADP and 2'-dADP, respectively. GMP, UMP, CMP, and IMP were not converted to the corresponding diphosphates at significant rates. Sufficient AdK and PPT activity in A. johnsonii 210A cell extract allowed demonstration of polyP-dependent ATP regeneration using a firefly luciferase-based ATP assay. Bioluminescence from the luciferase reaction, which normally decays very rapidly, was sustained in the presence of A. johnsonii 210A cell extract, MgCl(2), polyP(n=35), and AMP. Similar reaction mixtures containing strain 210A cell extract or partially purified PPT, polyP, AMP, glucose, and hexokinase formed glucose 6-phosphate. The results indicate that PPT from A. johnsonii is specific for AMP and 2'-dAMP and catalyzes a key reaction in the cell-free regeneration of ATP from AMP and polyP. The PPT/AdK system provides an alternative to existing enzymatic ATP regeneration systems in which phosphoenolpyruvate and acetylphosphate serve as phosphoryl donors and has the advantage that AMP and polyP are stabile, inexpensive substrates.
