The asymmetric reduction of ethyl 4-chloro-acetoacetate (CAAE) to ethyl (R)-4-chloro-3- hydroxybutanoate (R-CHBE) biocatalysed by the aldehyde reductase of Sporobolomyces salmonicolor expressed in E. coli M15 (pQE30-alr) in combination with regeneration of NADPH by the glucose dehydrogenase of Bacillus megaterium expressed in E. coli M15 (pQE30-gdh) was reported. The bioreduction was carried out in a two-phase reaction system with n-butyl acetate as an organic solvent. Bioconversion of 300 mmol CAAE with a final yield of 97.5 % and an enantiometric excess of 99 % was achieved without the addition of cofactor NADPH.

Alkyl phosphotriester (alkyl-PTE) lesions are frequently induced in DNA and are resistant to repair. Here, we synthesized and characterized methyl (Me)- and n-butyl (nBu)-PTEs in two diastereomeric configurations (Sp and Rp) at six different flanking dinucleotide sites, i.e. XT and TX (X = A, C, or G), and assessed how these lesions impact DNA replication in Escherichia coli cells. When single-stranded vectors contained an Sp-Me-PTE in the sequence contexts of 5′-AT-3′, 5′-CT-3′, or 5′-GT-3′, DNA replication was highly efficient and the replication products for all three sequence contexts contained 85–90% AT and 5–10% TG. Thus, the replication outcome was largely independent of the identity of the 5′ nucleotide adjacent to an Sp-Me-PTE. Furthermore, replication across these lesions was not dependent on the activities of DNA polymerases II, IV, or V; Ada, a protein involved in adaptive response and repair of Sp-Me-PTE in E. coli, however, was essential for the generation of the mutagenic products. Additionally, the Rp diastereomer of Me-PTEs at XT sites and both diastereomers of Me-PTEs at TX sites exhibited error-free replication bypass. Moreover, Sp-nBu-PTEs at XT sites did not strongly impede DNA replication, and other nBu-PTEs displayed moderate blockage effects, with none of them being mutagenic. Taken together, these findings provide in-depth understanding of how alkyl-PTE lesions are recognized by the DNA replication machinery in prokaryotic cells and reveal that Ada contributes to mutagenesis of Sp-Me-PTEs in E. coli.

ABSTRACTSynthesis of chiral cyanohydrins is performed in a monophasic micro-aqueous reaction system using whole recombinantEscherichia colicells expressing theArabidopsis thalianahydroxynitrile lyase (AtHNL). Microscopy studies employing a fusion ofAtHNL with a flavin-based fluorescent protein (FbFP) reveal that the cells remain intact in the reaction system.

ABSTRACT A practical enzymatic synthesis of a doubly chiral key compound, (4R,6R)-4-hydroxy-2,2,6-trimethylcyclohexanone, starting from the readily available 2,6,6-trimethyl-2-cyclohexen-1,4-dione is described. Chirality is first introduced at the C-6 position by a stereoselective enzymatic hydrogenation of the double bond using old yellow enzyme 2 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, expressed in Escherichia coli, as a biocatalyst. Thereafter, the carbonyl group at the C-4 position is reduced selectively and stereospecifically by levodione reductase of Corynebacterium aquaticum M-13, expressed in E. coli, to the corresponding alcohol. Commercially available glucose dehydrogenase was also used for cofactor regeneration in both steps. Using this two-step enzymatic asymmetric reduction system, 9.5 mg of (4R,6R)-4-hydroxy-2,2,6-trimethylcyclohexanone/ml was produced almost stoichiometrically, with 94% enantiomeric excess in the presence of glucose, NAD+, and glucose dehydrogenase. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the application of S. cerevisiae old yellow enzyme for the production of a useful compound.
