Ethyl 3-hydroxy-3-phenylpropionate (EHPP), (R)-EHPP or (S)-EHPP, is an important chiral intermediate for pharmaceuticals. Its synthesis from ethyl benzoyl acetate (EBA) by alcohol dehydrogenase is regarded as a green method. However, scarcely any alcohol dehydrogenase has been reported competent in asymmetric synthesis of chiral EHPP at high EBA loading. Present study developed two robust and efficient bio-catalysts Mu-S2 and Mu-R4 for preparation of (S)-EHPP and (R)-EHPP respectively by rational design of alcohol dehydrogenase PcSDR from Pedobacter chitinilyticus based on molecular dynamics (MD) simulation analysis. BtGDH, a glucose dehydrogenase from Bacillus toyonensis catalyzing the oxidation of glucose for cofactor regeneration, was co-expressed with the screened mutants to form enzyme systems Mu-S2-BtGDH and Mu-R4-BtGDH. After reaction condition optimization, Mu-S2-BtGDH and Mu-R4-BtGDH were efficient in the synthesis of (S)-EHPP (94% conv. and 99% e.e.) and (R)-EHPP (99% conv. and 98% e.e.) respectively in 100 mL scale under 500 mM of EBA loading in 10 h following a substrate continuous feeding mode. After purifying, the isolated yield for each EHPP enantiomer is > 93%. This work not only provides potential biocatalysts for the industrial production of (R)-EHPP and (S)-EHPP, but also enriches the constructure-function relationship of alcohol dehydrogenases.
