Optically pure(R)-γ-and(R)-δ-lactones can be prepared by intramolecular cyclization of chiral hydroxy acids/esters reduced asymmetrically from γ-and δ-keto acids/esters using Saccharomyces cerevisiae(S.cerevisiae)...Optically pure(R)-γ-and(R)-δ-lactones can be prepared by intramolecular cyclization of chiral hydroxy acids/esters reduced asymmetrically from γ-and δ-keto acids/esters using Saccharomyces cerevisiae(S.cerevisiae) as a whole-cell biocatalyst.However,some of the enzymes catalyzing these reactions in S.cerevisiae are still unknown up to date.In this report,two carbonyl reductases,OdCRl and OdCR2,were successfully discovered,and cloned from S.cerevisiae using a genome-mining approach,and overexpressed in Escherichia coli(E.coli).Compared with OdCR1,OdCR2 can reduce 4-oxodecanoic acid and 5-oxodecanoic acid asymmetrically with higher stereoselectivity,generating(R)-γ-decalactone(99% ee) and(R)-δ-decalactone(98% ee) in 85% and 92%yields,respectively.This is the first report of native enzymes from S.cerevisiae for the enzymatic synthesis of chiral γ-and δ-lactones which is of wide uses in food and cosmetic industries.展开更多
