A novel carbonyl reductase with anti-Prelog stereospecificity from Acetobacter sp. CCTCC M209061: purification and characterization.

ABSTRACT: A novel carbonyl reductase (AcCR) catalyzing the asymmetric reduction of ketones to enantiopure alcohols with anti-Prelog stereoselectivity was found in Acetobacter sp. CCTCC M209061 and enriched 27.5-fold with an overall yield of 0.4% by purification. The enzyme showed a homotetrameric structure with an apparent molecular mass of 104 kDa and each subunit of 27 kDa. The gene sequence of AcCR was cloned and sequenced, and a 762 bp gene fragment was obtained. Either NAD(H) or NADP(H) can be used as coenzyme. For the reduction of 4'-chloroacetophenone, the Km value for NADH was around 25-fold greater than that for NADPH (0.66 mM vs 0.026 mM), showing that AcCR preferred NADPH over NADH. However, when NADH was used as cofactor, the response of AcCR activity to increasing concentration of 4'-chloroacetophenone was clearly sigmoidal with a Hill coefficient of 3.1, suggesting that the enzyme might possess four substrate-binding sites cooperating with each other The Vmax value for NADH-linked reduction was higher than that for NADPH-linked reduction (0.21 mM/min vs 0.17 mM/min). For the oxidation of isopropanol, the similar enzymological properties of AcCR were found using NAD+ or NADP+ as cofactor. Furthermore, a broad range of ketones such as aryl ketones, ?-ketoesters and aliphatic ketones could be enantioselectively reduced into the corresponding chiral alcohols by this enzyme with high activity.

Project description:Candida parapsilosis (R)-carbonyl reductase (RCR) and (S)-carbonyl reductase (SCR) are involved in the stereoconversion of racemic (R,S)-1-phenyl-1,2-ethanediol (PED) to its (S)-isomer. RCR catalyzes (R)-PED to 2-hydroxyacetophenone (2-HAP), and SCR catalyzes 2-HAP to (S)-PED. However, the stereoconversion efficiency of racemic mixture to (S)-PED is not high because of an activity imbalance between RCR and SCR, with RCR performing at a lower rate than SCR. To realize the efficient preparation of racemic mixture to (S)-PED, an in situ expression of RCR and a two-stage control strategy were introduced to rebalance the RCR- and SCR-mediated pathways.An in situ expression plasmid pCP was designed and RCR was successfully expressed in C. parapsilosis. With respect to wild-type, recombinant C. parapsilosis/pCP-RCR exhibited over four-fold higher activity for catalyzing racemic (R,S)-PED to 2-HAP, while maintained the activity for catalyzing 2-HAP to (S)-PED. The ratio of k cat /K M for SCR catalyzing (R)-PED and RCR catalyzing 2-HAP was about 1.0, showing the good balance between the functions of SCR and RCR. Based on pH and temperature preferences of RCR and SCR, a two-stage control strategy was devised, where pH and temperature were initially set at 5.0 and 30 °C for RCR rapidly catalyzing racemic PED to 2-HAP, and then adjusted to 4.5 and 35 °C for SCR transforming 2-HAP to (S)-PED. Using these strategies, the recombinant C. parapsilosis/pCP-RCR catalyzed racemic PED to its (S)-isomer with an optical purity of 98.8 % and a yield of 48.4 %. Most notably, the biotransformation duration was reduced from 48 to 13 h.We established an in situ expression system for RCR in C. parapsilosis to rebalance the functions between RCR and SCR. Then we designed a two-stage control strategy based on pH and temperature preferences of RCR and SCR, better rebalancing RCR and SCR-mediated chiral biosynthesis pathways. This work demonstrates a method to improve chiral biosyntheses via in situ expression of rate-limiting enzyme and a multi-stage control strategy to rebalance asymmetric pathways.
