A Novel Reductase from Candida albicans for the Production of Ethyl (S)-4-Chloro-3-hydroxybutanoate

A novel NADPH-dependent reductase (CaCR) from Candida albicans was cloned for the first time. It catalyzed asymmetric reduction to produce ethyl (S)-4-chloro-3-hydroxybutanoate ((S)-CHBE). It contained an open reading frame of 843 bp encoding 281 amino acids. When co-expressed with a glucose dehydrogenase in Escherichia coli, recombinant CaCR exhibited an activity of 5.7 U/mg with ethyl 4-chloro-3-oxobutanoate (COBE) as substrate. In the biocatalysis of COBE to (S)-CHBE, 1320 mM (S)-CHBE was obtained without extra NADP⁺/NADPH in a water/butyl acetate system, and the optical purity of the (S)-isomer was higher than 99% enantiomeric excess.     

A novel carbonyl reductase from Pichia stipitis for the production of ethyl (S)-4-chloro-3-hydroxybutanoate

When expressed in Escherichia coli, the recombinant PsCR exhibited an activity of 27 U/mg using ethyl 4-chloro-3-oxobutanoate (COBE) as a substrate. Reduction of COBE to (S)-CHBE by transformants in an aqueous mono-phase system for 18 h, gave a molar yield of 94% and an optical purity of the (S)-isomer of more than 99% enantiomeric excess.     

Bioconversion of ethyl 4-chloro-3-oxobutanoate by permeabilized fresh brewer’s yeast cells in the presence of allyl bromide

Ethyl(R)-4-chloro-3-hydroxybutanoate ((R)-CHBE) are obtained by cetyltrimetylammonium bromide (CTAB) permeabilized fresh brewer’s yeast whole cells bioconversion of ethyl 4-chloro-3-oxobutanoate (COBE ) in the presence of allyl bromide. The results showed that the activities of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) in CTAB permeabilized brewer’s yeast cells increased 525 and 7.9-fold, respectively, compared with that in the nonpermeabilized cells and had high enantioselectivity to convert COBE to (R)-CHBE. As one of co-substrates, glucose-6-phosphate was preprepared using glucose phosphorylation by hexokinase-catalyzed of CTAB permeabilized brewer’s yeast cells. In a two phase reaction system with n-butyl acetate as organic solvent and with 2-propanol and glucose-6-phosphate as co-substrates, the highest (R)-CHBE concentration of 447 mM was obtained with 110–130 g/l of the CTAB permeabilized cells at optimized pH, temperature, feeding rate and the shake speed of 125 r/min. The yield and enantiomeric excess (ee) of (R)-CHBE reached 99.5 and 99%, respectively, within 6 h.

A highest turnover number of 53,900 was achieved without adding extra NADP⁺/NADPH compared with those known COBE-catalytic systems.     

Yeast Catalysed Reduction of β-Keto Esters (2): Optimisation of the Stereospecific Reduction by Zygosaccharomyces Rouxii

Zygosaccharomyces rouxii catalysed the reduction of ethyl 4-chloroacetoacetate (ethyl 4-chloro-3-oxobutanoate) to the corresponding (S)-hydroxy ester (ethyl (S)-4-chloro-3-hydroxybutanoate) in high enantiomeric excess. The productivity of non-immobilised cells was compared to cells immobilised on a range of organic and inorganic supports. Cells immobilised in calcium alginate displayed a catalytic activity significantly higher than that of non-immobilised cells. A time dependent fall in the enantiomeric purity of the product was observed with the use of this matrix. This phenomenon was not seen in the reduction catalysed by non-immobilised cells.     

Synthesis of optically pure ethyl (S)-4-chloro-3-hydroxybutanoate by Escherichia coli transformant cells coexpressing the carbonyl reductase and glucose dehydrogenase genes

The asymmetric reduction of ethyl 4-chloro-3-oxobutanoate (COBE) to ethyl (S)-4-chloro-3-hydroxybutanoate ((S)-CHBE) was investigated. Escherichia coli cells expressing both the carbonyl reductase (S1) gene from Candida magnoliae and the glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) gene from Bacillus megaterium were used as the catalyst. In an organic-solvent-water two-phase system, (S)-CHBE formed in the organic phase amounted to 2.58 M (430 g/l), the molar yield being 85%. E. coli transformant cells coproducing S1 and GDH accumulated 1.25 M (208 g/l) (S)-CHBE in an aqueous monophase system by continuously feeding on COBE, which is unstable in an aqueous solution. In this case, the calculated turnover of NADP+ (the oxidized form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) to CHBE was 21,600 mol/mol. The optical purity of the (S)-CHBE formed was 100% enantiomeric excess in both systems. The aqueous system used for the reduction reaction involving E. coli HB101 cells carrying a plasmid containing the S1 and GDH genes as a catalyst is simple. Furthermore, the system does not require the addition of commercially available GDH or an organic solvent. Therefore this system is highly advantageous for the practical synthesis of optically pure (S)-CHBE.     

Enzymatic production of ethyl (R )-4-chloro-3-hydroxybutanoate: asymmetric reduction of ethyl 4-chloro-3-oxobutanoate by an Escherichia coli transformant expressing the aldehyde reductase gene from yeast

The asymmetric reduction of ethyl 4-chloro-3-oxobutanoate (COBE) to ethyl (R)-4-chloro-3-hydroxybutanoate (CHBE) using Escherichia coli JM109 (pKAR) cells expressing the aldehyde reductase gene from Sporobolomyces salmonicolor AKU4429 as a catalyst was studied. The reduction required NADP⁺, glucose and glucose dehydrogenase for NADPH regeneration. In an aqueous system, the substrate was unstable, and inhibition of the reaction by the substrate was also observed. Efficient conversion of COBE to (R)-CHBE with a satisfactory enantiomeric excess (ee) was attained on incubation with transformant cells in an n-butyl acetate/water two-phase system containing the above NADPH-regeneration system. Under the optimized conditions, with the periodical addition of COBE, glucose and glucose dehydrogenase, the (R)-CHBE yield reached 1530 mM (255 mg/ml) in the organic phase, with a molar conversion yield of 91.1% and an optical purity of 91% ee. The calculated turnover of NADP⁺, based on the amounts of NADP⁺ added and CHBE formed, was about 5100 mol/mol. Received: 26 May 1997 / Received revision: 16 July 1997 / Accepted: 29 August 1997     

Production of Ethyl Butyrate by Candida rugosa Lipase Immobilized in Polyurethane

The enzymatic production of ethyl butyrate was studied: the lipase of Candida rugosa (E.C. 3.1.1.3.) was immobilized in a polyurethane matrix and subsequently introduced in an organic medium containing the substrates in appropriate concentrations. The large majority of experiments was carried out in n-hexane. Two further solvents were tested, namely n-heptane and n-dodecane. The partition coefficients matrix/solvent were estimated for the various solvent systems. The initial esterification rate, the molar yield ester/acid and the degree of conversion were found to be solvent independent when the reaction media were designed so that similar concentrations were created in the microenvironment. Initial rate experiments indicated that in n-hexane the threshold of inhibitory substrate concentrations lies (i) between 0.40 M and 0.50 M for butyric acid, according to the purity of the enzyme preparation and (ii) at 0.30 M for ethanol. Batch operational stability tests indicate that no enzyme deactivation occurs after 20 consecutive batches.     

Molecular cloning and overexpression of the gene encoding an NADPH-dependent carbonyl reductase from Candida magnoliae, involved in stereoselective reduction of ethyl 4-chloro-3-oxobutanoate

An NADPH-dependent carbonyl reductase (S1) isolated from Candida magnoliae catalyzed the reduction of ethyl 4-chloro-3-oxobutanoate (COBE) to ethyl (S)-4-chloro-3-hydroxybutanoate (CHBE), with a 100% enantiomeric excess, which is a useful chiral building block for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals. The gene encoding the enzyme was cloned and sequenced. The S1 gene comprises 849 bp and encodes a polypeptide of 30,420 Da. The deduced amino acid sequence showed a high degree of similarity to those of the other members of the short-chain alcohol dehydrogenase superfamily. The S1 gene was overexpressed in Escherichia coli under the control of the lac promoter. The enzyme expressed in E. coli was purified to homogeneity and had the same catalytic properties as the enzyme from C. magnoliae did. An E. coli transformant reduced COBE to 125 g/l of (S)-CHBE, with an optical purity of 100% enantiomeric excess, in an organic solvent two-phase system.     

Synthesis of ethyl (R)-4-chloro-3-hydroxybutyrate by immobilized cells using amino acid-modified magnetic nanoparticles

Fe₃O₄-Arg was selected as the optimal carrier due to its high activity recovery of immobilized cells in the preparation of Fe₃O₄-Arg-Cells. The optimal immobilization conditions for the preparation of Fe₃O₄-Arg-Cells were 30 °C, 4 h, pH 7, and 3 g dry yeast. The activity recovery of immobilized cells reached 76.8 %. For a batch reduction in a shaker in an alternating magnetic field, Fe₃O₄-Arg-Cells were used as a catalyst to gain ethyl (R)-4-chloro-3-hydroxybutyrate ((R)-CHBE). For further improvement in reduction productivity, a continuous reduction in the magnetic fluidized bed reactor system (MFBRS) was completed. Under their optimal transformation conditions, it took 24 h for Fe₃O₄-Arg-Cells to complete the conversion of ethyl 4-chloro-3-oxobutanoate (COBE) (0.8553 mol/L) in the shaker and only 8 h for the batch reduction in an alternating magnetic field. Continuous reduction in MFBRS provided new ideas for the efficient production of (R)-CHBE; 1.5882 mol/L (10 mL) of COBE can be completely converted in 6 h. The conversion and enantiomeric excess (e.e.) of (R)-CHBE were 100 % and above 99.9 % respectively, in the three reaction systems mentioned above.
