Popis: Leifsonia xyli HS0904 can stereoselectively catalyze the bioreduction of 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl) acetophenone (BTAP) to its corresponding alcohol, which is a valuable chiral intermediate in the pharmaceuticals. In this study, a new carbonyl reductase derived from L. xyli HS0904 was purified and its biochemical properties were determined in detail. The carbonyl reductase was purified by 530-fold with a specific activity of 13.2 U mg −1 and found to be a homodimer with a molecular mass of 49 kDa, in which the subunit molecular-weight was about 24 kDa. The purified enzyme exhibited a maximum enzyme activity at 34 °C and pH 7.2, and retained over 90% of its initial activity at 4 °C and pH 7.0 for 24 h. The addition of various additives, such as Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ , Mn 2+ , l -cysteine, l -glutathione, urea, PEG 1000 and PEG 4000, could enhance the enzyme activity. The maximal reaction rate ( V max ) and apparent Michaelis–Menten constant ( K m ) of the purified carbonyl reductase for BTAP and NADH were confirmed as 33.9 U mg −1 , 0.383 mM and 69.9 U mg −1 , 0.412 mM, respectively. Furthermore, this enzyme was found to have a broad spectrum of substrate specificity and can asymmetrically catalyze the reduction of a variety of ketones and keto esters.
