A gene is described coding for an esterase capable of causing asymmetric hydrolysis of an organic carboxylic acid ester of a cyclopentenolone of formula I:
wherein R1 is C1-C10 alkyl, C2-C10 alkenyl, C2-C10 alkynyl or C1-C4 haloalkyl, to produce the cyclopentenolone of formula I in (S)-form; an esterase encoded by said gene and methods for its production as well as its use for the industrially favorable production of optically active cyclopentenolones of formula I which serve as the intermediates of drugs, agricultural chemicals, insecticides or other active products.
描述了一种编码酯酶的基因,这种酯酶能使式 I 的环戊烯酮的有机羧酸酯发生不对称水解:
其中R1为C1-C10烷基、C2-C10烯基、C2-C10炔基或C1-C4卤代烷基,以产生(S)-形式的式I环戊烯酮;由所述基因编码的酯酶及其生产方法,以及将其用于工业化生产具有光学活性的式I环戊烯酮的方法,这些光学活性环戊烯酮可作为药物、农药、杀虫剂或其它活性产品的中间体。
