Verfahren zur Herstellung von Dinukleosid-Polyphosphat, Nukleosid-Polyphosphat oder Derivate davon

A method for producing a dinucleoside polyphosphate, a nucleoside polyphosphate or a derivative thereof which comprises using adenosine-5'-triphosphate, polyphosphate or a derivative thereof and a sulfate as reaction substrates and forming a dinucleoside polyphosphate, nucleoside polyphosphate or derivatives thereof via a two-stage reaction through the use of two enzymes, namely, adenosine-5'-triphosphate sulfurylase and diadenosine tetraphosphate phosphorylase as catalysts. Further, another method for producing a dinucleoside polyphosphate, a nucleoside polyphosphate or a derivative thereof which comprises using adenosine-5'-triphosphate, polyphosphate or a derivative thereof and a sulfate as reaction substrate in the presence of an enzyme capable of converting adenosine-5'-diphosphate into adenosine-5'-triphosphate, and forming the dinucleoside polyphosphate, nucleoside polyphosphate or derivatives thereof via a two-stage reaction through the use of two enzymes, namely, adenosine-5'-triphosphate sulfurylase and diadenosine tetraphosphate phosphorylase as catalysts is provided. According to the present invention, highly pure dinucleoside polyphosphate, nucleoside polyphosphate or derivatives thereof can be produced at a high yield and these products can be easily isolated and purified.
