Highly enantioselective lipase has been widely utilized in the preparation of versatile enantiopure chiral sec-alcohols through kinetic or dynamic kinetic resolution. Lipase is intrinsically (R)-selective, and it is difficult to obtain (S)-selective lipase. Recent crystal structures of a family VIII carboxylesterase have revealed that the spatial array of its catalytic triad is the mirror image of that of lipase but with a catalytic triad that is distinct from lipase. We, therefore, hypothesized that the family VIII carboxylesterase may exhibit (S)-enantioselectivity toward sec-alcohols similar to (S)-selective serine protease, whose catalytic triad is also spatially arrayed as its mirror image. In this study, a homologous enzyme (carboxylesterase from Proteobacteria bacterium SG_bin9, PBE) of a known family VIII carboxylesterase (pdb code: 4IVK) was prepared, which showed not only moderate (S)-selectivity toward sec-alcohols such as 3-butyn-2-ol and 1-phenylethyl alcohol but also (R)-selectivity toward particular sec-alcohols among the substrates explored. Furthermore, the (S)-selectivity of PBE has been significantly improved by rational redesign based on molecular modeling. Molecular modeling identified a binding pocket composed of Ser381, Ala383, and Arg408 for the methyl substituent of (R)-1-phenylethyl acetate and suggested that larger residues may increase the enantioselectivity by interfering with the binding of the slow-reacting enantiomer. As predicted, substituting Ser381with larger residues (Phe, Tyr, and Trp) significantly improved the (S)-selectivity of PBE toward all sec-alcohols explored, even the substrates toward which the wild-type PBE exhibits (R)-selectivity. For instance, the enantioselectivity toward 3-butyn-2-ol and 1-phenylethyl alcohol was improved from E = 5.5 and 36.1 to E = 2001 and 882, respectively, by single mutagenesis (S381F).
Rhizopus arrhizus mediated SAR studies in chemoselective biotransformation of haloketones at ambient temperature

We have demonstrated a green chemistry approach using the fungus Rhizopus arrhizus for the reductive dehalogenation and synthesis of chiral secondary carbinols and halohydrins of pharmaceutical importance in mild, inexpensive, and environmental friendly process at ambient temperature. In the present study, we have succeeded in unravelling the relationship between the position of the substituent group in the structure of substrate and bioreduction activity of the fungus Rhizopus arrhizus. The asymmetric reduction of the carbonyl group to corresponding chiral halohydrin takes place with good yield and excellent enantiomeric excess (≥92%) when the substituent halogen is on the aromatic nucleus. However, novel results concerning reductive dehalogenation are obtained when halogen is incorporated in the alkyl side chain. Thus, the fungus Rhizopus arrhizus has great potential to bring chemoenzymatic biotransformation of halo ketones. Various influential processing parameters such as microbe selection, temperature, pH, etc. were also investigated to optimize the growth of biocatalyst.
