摘要:
Novel enzymes that stereoselectively reduce imine derivatives were isolated and purified, and polynucleotides encoding the enzymes were cloned. Optically active amine derivatives were produced by acting on imine derivatives with a culture of microorganisms having the ability to stereoselectively reduce the compounds, microbial cells or processed products thereof, and/or imine reductases thereof, followed by collecting the generated optically active amine derivatives. The present invention enables, for example, production of an optically active compound represented by formula (IV): (wherein R group represents an alkyl group having one to three carbon atoms; and n represents an integer of 1 to 4).
摘要:
A method for efficiently producing an optically active amino compound useful as an intermediate for pharmaceutical preparations, agricultural chemicals, or the like, from a ketone compound is provided. Specifically, a polypeptide having high resistance to a water-soluble organic solvent and novel transaminase activity for generating (S)-1-benzyl-3-pyrrolidinone with high optical purity of 93% or more, a gene encoding the same, and a transformant expressing the gene at a high level are also provided herein.
