Abstract Background: ( S )-1-phenyl-1,2-ethanediol is an important chiral intermediate in the synthesis of liquid crystals and chiral biphosphines.(S)-carbonyl reductase II from Candida parapsilosis catalyzes the conversion of 2-hydroxyacetophenone to ( S )-1-phenyl-1,2-ethanediol with NADPH as a cofactor. Glucose dehydrogenase with a Ala258Phe mutation is able to catalyze the oxidation of xylose with concomitant reduction of NADP + to NADPH, while endo-β-1,4-xylanase 2 catalyzes the conversion of xylan to xylose. In the present work, the Ala258Phe glucose dehydrogenase mutant and endo-β-1,4-xylanase 2 were introduced into the ( S )-carbonyl reductase II-mediated chiral pathway to strengthen cofactor regeneration by using xylan as a naturally abundant co-substrate. Results: We constructed several coupled multi-enzyme systems by introducing ( S )-carbonyl reductase II, the A258F glucose dehydrogenase mutant and endo-β-1,4-xylanase 2 into Escherichia coli . Different strains were produced by altering the location of the encoding genes on the plasmid. Only recombinant E. coli /pET-G-S-2 expressed all three enzymes, and this strain produced ( S )-1-phenyl-1,2-ethanediol from 2-hydroxyacetophenone as a substrate and xylan as a co-substrate. The optical purity was 100% and the yield was 98.3% (6 g/L 2-HAP) under optimal conditions of 35°C, pH 6.5 and a 2:1 substrate-co-substrate ratio. The introduction of A258F glucose dehydrogenase and endo-β-1,4-xylanase 2 into the ( S )-carbonyl reductase II-mediated chiral pathway caused a 54.6% increase in yield, and simultaneously reduced the reaction time from 48 h to 28 h. Conclusions: This study demonstrates efficient chiral synthesis using a pentose as a co-substrate to enhance cofactor regeneration. This provides a new approach for enantiomeric catalysis through the inclusion of naturally abundant materials.

The Escherichia coli K5 capsular polysaccharide (glycosaminoglycan) chains are composed of the repeated disaccharide structure: -GlcAβ1,4-GlcNAcα1,4-(where GlcA is glucuronic acid and GlcNAc is N-acetyl-d-glucosamine). The GlcA, present in most glycosaminoglycans, is donated from UDP-GlcA, which, in turn, is generated from UDP-glucose by the enzyme UDP-glucose dehydrogenase (UDPGDH). The formation of UDP-GlcA is critical for the biosynthesis of glycosaminoglycans. To investigate the role of UDPGDH in glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis, we used K5 polysaccharide biosynthesis as a model. E. coli was transformed with the complete gene cluster for K5 polysaccharide production. Additional transformation with an extra copy of UDPGDH resulted in an approx. 15-fold increase in the in vitro UDPGDH enzyme activity compared with the strain lacking extra UDPGDH. UDP-GlcA levels were increased 3-fold in overexpressing strains. However, metabolic labelling with [14C]glucose showed, unexpectedly, that overexpression of UDPGDH lead to decreased formation of K5 polysaccharide. No significant difference in the K5 polysaccharide chain length was observed between control and overexpressing strains, indicating that the decrease in K5-polysaccharide production most probably was due to synthesis of fewer chains. Our results suggest that K5-polysaccharide biosynthesis is strictly regulated such that increasing the amount of available UDP-GlcA results in diminished K5-polysaccharide production.
