Two “classical” Old Yellow Enzymes from Chryseobacterium sp. CA49: Broad substrate specificity of Chr-OYE1 and limited activity of Chr-OYE2
摘要:
Two putative Old Yellow Enzyme (OYE) homologues, Chr-OYE1 and Chr-OYE2, were identified from the genome of Chryseobacterium sp. CA49 as new members of the "classical" subfamily. Chr-OYE1 and Chr-OYE2 were most closely related to the SYE4 from Shewanella oneidensis and NerA from Agrobacterium radiobacter with 41% and 45% identity, respectively. Both enzymes were expressed in Escherichia coli in soluble form, but their catalytic abilities as ene-reductases were quite different. Among the 19 substrate tested, Chr-OYE1 could catalyze the reduction of 18 of them including an ynone with excellent stereos electivity for several prochiral ones, and its specific activity was roughly 1100-fold high than Chr-OYE2, which only catalyzed 3 of the substrates. After restoring the conserved tyrosine, Chr-OYE2 remained the same substrate spectrum, but showed significantly enhanced activity and stereoselectivity. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

An efficient asymmetric Michaelreaction of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with α-Substituted-β-Nitroacrylates has been developed by using a cinchona-thiourea bifunctional organocatalyst in high yields and enantioselectivies. One of adducts could be transformed into a chiral β-nitroester bearing an isoxazole skeleton and an all-carbon quaternary chiral center.
the addition to various unsaturated carbonyl compounds, while calcium triflimide [Ca(NTf2)2] efficiently catalyzed the addition to nitroolefins. Friedel–Crafts alkylation of indole and its derivatives with a variety of electron-deficient alkenes catalyzed by Mg and Ca salts has been studied. The dependence of the results on the nature of the starting olefins, substituents on indole, and Michael acceptors
A powerful catalyst: Quaternary stereogenic centers adjacent to tertiary stereocenters were formed with high diastereoselectivities and enantioselectivities in conjugateadditionreactions between aldehydes and β,β‐disubstituted nitroolefins by using a peptidic catalyst (see scheme). γ‐Amino acids and heterocyclic compounds bearing quaternary stereogenic centers are easily accessible from the products
Epi-quinine-catalyzed asymmetric nitro-Michaeladdition of furanones to β,β,-disubstituted nitroalkenes is described. The reaction proceeded smoothly with 1–5 mol % loadings of epi-quinine catalysts at room temperature, giving the corresponding Michael adducts in high yields (72–93%) with extremely high diastereo- and enantioselectivities (>98/2 dr, syn major; 95–99% ee). This reaction provides an
