Identification of novel esterases for the synthesis of sterically demanding chiral alcohols by sequence-structure guided genome mining
摘要:
Six esterases isolated from sequence and structure-guided genome mining approaches were evaluated for the kinetic resolution of secondary and tertiary alcohols that find application in the fine chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Activity and enantioselectivity with E-values of up to 24 were determined towards a range of sterically demanding tertiary alcohol esters. Excellent enantioselectivity (E > 100) was also achieved in the hydrolysis of a less challenging secondary alcohol ester, menthyl acetate. These results highlight that these approaches can be used for the identification of novel esterases applicable to the preparation of commercially desirable alcohols. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V.

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.
