A novel enantioselective epoxide hydrolase from Agromyces mediolanus ZJB120203: Cloning, characterization and application
摘要:
A new strain Agromyces mediolanus ZJB120203, capable of enantioselective epoxide hydrolase (EH) activity was isolated employing a newly established colorimetric screening and chiral GC analysis method. The partial nucleotide sequence of an epoxide hydrolase (AmEH) gene from A. mediolanus ZJB120203 was obtained by PCR using degenerate primers designed based on the conserved domains of EHs. Subsequently, an open reading frame containing 1167 bp and encoding 388 amino acids polypeptide were identified. Expression of AmEH was carried out in Escherichia coli and purification was performed by Nickel-affinity chromatography. The purified AmEH had a molecular weight of 43 kDa and showed its optimum pH and temperature at 8.0 and 35 degrees C, respectively. Moreover, this AmEH showed broad substrates specificity toward epoxides. In this study, it is demonstrated that the AmEH could unusually catalyze the hydrolysis of (R)-ECH to produce enantio pure (S)-ECH. Enantiopure (S)-ECH could be obtained with enantiomeric excess (ee) of > 99% and yield of 21.5% from 64 mM (R,S)-ECH. It is indicated that AmEH from A. mediolanus is an attractive biocatalyst for the efficient preparation of optically active ECH. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A unique B–Ncoordinated phenanthroimidazole-based zincsalen was synthesized. The zincsalen thus synthesized acts as a photocatalyst for the cycloaddition of carbondioxide with terminal epoxides under ambient conditions. DFT study of the cycloaddition of carbondioxide with terminal epoxide indicates the preference of the reaction pathway when photocatalyzed by zincsalen. We anticipate that this
