Atropselective Hydrolysis of Chiral Binol-Phosphate Esters Catalyzed by the Phosphotriesterase from Sphingobium sp. TCM1.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The phosphotriesterase from Sphingobium sp. TCM1 (Sb-PTE) is notable for its ability to hydrolyze a broad spectrum of organophosphate triesters, including organophosphorus flame retardants and plasticizers such as triphenyl phosphate and tris(2-chloroethyl) phosphate that are not substrates for other enzymes. This enzyme is also capable of hydrolyzing any one of the three ester groups attached to the central phosphorus core. The enantiomeric isomers of 1,1'-bi-2-naphthol (BINOL) have become among the most widely used chiral auxiliaries for the chemical synthesis of chiral carbon centers. PTE was tested for its ability to hydrolyze a series of biaryl phosphate esters, including mono- and bis-phosphorylated BINOL derivatives and cyclic phosphate triesters. Sb-PTE was shown to be able to catalyze the hydrolysis of the chiral phosphate triesters with significant stereoselectivity. The catalytic efficiency, kcat/Km, of Sb-PTE toward the test phosphate triesters ranged from ∼10 to 105 M-1 s-1. The product ratios and stereoselectivities were determined for four pairs of phosphorylated BINOL derivatives.
