A gene coding for an esterase (EstEH112) was isolated from metagenome originated from Korean intertidal flat sediment. The putative esterase gene encoded a 340 amino acids protein with characteristic residues of lipolytic enzymes such as a conserved pentapeptide (GXSXG), the typical catalytic S-D-H triad, and a GGG(A)X-motif in the oxyanion hole near the active site similar to the hormone sensitive lipase (HSL) family. p-Nitrophenyl butyrate was the best substrate for the enzyme among the other p-nitrophenyl esters investigated. The apparent optimal temperature and pH for EstEH112 was 35 C and at pH 8.0, respectively. EstEH112 efficiently catalyzed the hydrolysis of various large tertiary alcohol esters. These characteristics of EstEH112 make it a potential candidate for application in biocatalysis. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Selected plants within the Origanum, Mentha and Salvia genera, that contain significant amounts of chiral volatile alcohols and their related acetates, exhibit remarkable enantioselectivity of alcohol acetyl transferase (AAT) activity and particularly can discriminate between linalool enantiomers. Origanum dayi AAT produced almost enantiomerically pure (R)-linalyl acetate by enzymatic acetylation of racemic linalool, whereas the closely related O. majorana AAT produced a mixture of (R)- and (S)-linalyl acetate with a ratio of 6:4. V-max of O. dayi acetylation activity was 30-fold higher for (R)-linalool, whereas in O. majorana no such differences were found. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Each of the four enantiomerically pure tetrahydropyran linalool oxides was prepared by separate enantioselective Sharpless dihydroxylation of (R)- or (S)-linalyl acetate with AD-mix-alpha or AD-mix-beta, followed by a completely stereoselective N-phenylselenophthalimide cyclization of an intermediate allylic alcohol.
