Abstract |
A novel nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-dependent carbonyl reductase, 3-quinuclidinone reductase, was isolated from Rhodotorula rubra JCM3782. The enzyme catalyzes the asymmetric reduction of 3-quinuclidinone to (R)-3-quinuclidinol. The gene encoding the enzyme was also cloned and sequenced. A 819-bp nucleotide fragment was confirmed to be the gene encoding the 3-quinuclidinone reductase by agreement of the internal amino acid sequences of the purified enzyme. The gene encodes a total of 272 amino acid residues, and the deduced amino acid sequence shows similarity to those of several short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase family proteins. An expression vector, pWKLQ, which contains the full length 3-quinuclidinone reductase gene was constructed. Using Escherichia coli cells coexpressing the 3-quinuclidinone reductase and glucose dehydrogenase (cofactor regeneration enzyme) genes, 618 mM 3-quinuclidinone was almost stiochiometrically converted to (R)-3-quinuclidinol with an >99.9% enantiomeric excess within 21 h of reaction.
