(4R,6R)-Actinol can be stereo-selectively synthesized from ketoisophorone by a two-step conversion using a mixture of two enzymes: Candida macedoniensis old yellow enzyme (CmOYE) and Corynebacterium aquaticum (6R)-levodione reductase. However, (4S)-phorenol, an intermediate, accumulates because of the limited substrate range of CmOYE. To address this issue, we solved crystal structures of CmOYE in the presence and absence of a substrate analogue p-HBA, and introduced point mutations into the substrate-recognition loop. The most effective mutant (P295G) showed two- and 12-fold higher catalytic activities toward ketoisophorone and (4S)-phorenol, respectively, than the wild-type, and improved the yield of the two-step conversion from 67.2 to 90.1%. Our results demonstrate that the substrate range of an enzyme can be changed by introducing mutation(s) into a substrate-recognition loop. This method can be applied to the development of other favorable OYEs with different substrate preferences.

The β-hydroxysulfoxide moiety, after oxidation to sulfone, acts as a masked carbonyl group in a cyclic system, opening an easy access to differently substituted enantiomerically pure cyclic ketones by means of aluminium-mediated conjugate additions, stereoselective reductions and elimination by retrocondensation in basic medium.
Hydrolase-catalyzed preparation of (R)- and (S)-4-hydroxy-2,6,6- trimethyl-2-cyclohexen-1-ones (phorenols), the key synthetic intermediates for abscisic acid

Preparation of both the enantiomers of 4-hydroxy-2,6,6-trimethyl-2- cyclohexen-1-one (phorenol), which are versatile synthetic intermediates for abscisic acid and carotenoids, was achieved by hydrolase-catalyzed hydrolysis of the corresponding chloroaceta
