The enzyme responsible for the enantioselective production of (S)-1,1,1-trifluoro-2-propanol ((S)-TFP) from 1,1,1-trifluoroacetone (TFA) has been identified in Ogataea polymorpha NBRC 0799. We purified two carbonyl reductases, OpCRD-A and OpCRD-B from this strain, and revealed their characteristics. Both enzymes were specific to NADH, but the following characteristics were different: The molecular mass of subunit OpCRD-A was 40 kDa and that of OpCRD-B was 43 kDa. Amino acid sequences of both enzymes were only 21% identical. OpCRD-B contained 4 mol of zinc per mole of enzyme, but OpCRD-A did not. The optimal pH, temperature, pH stability, thermostability, and inhibitor specificity were also remarkably different. With regard to substrate specificity, both enzymes exhibited high reductase activity toward a wide variety of ketones, aldehydes and fluoroketones, and dehydrogenase activity toward 2-propanol and 2-butanol. The reductase activity was much higher than the dehydrogenase activity at acidic pH. OpCRD-A enantioselectively produced (S)-TFP from TFA, but OpCRD-B preferentially produced (R)-TFP. Thus, we concluded that OpCRD-A plays the main role in the production of (S)-TFP by a reaction of O. polymorpha NBRC 0799 cells and that OpCRD-A has great potential for efficient production of (S)-TFP, as it is an S-specific enzyme and does not catalyze the dehydrogenation of (S)-TFP.
