Abstract  

(S)-tert-butyl-6-chloro-5-hydroxyl-3-oxohexanoate [(S)-CHOH] is the key chiral intermediate of statins. Asymmetric reduction of tert-butyl-6-chloro-3,5- dioxohexanoate (CDOH) to (S)-CHOH catalyzed by alcohol dehydrogenases is a promising method. Nevertheless, the main problems is the low catalytic activity towards CDOH. First an alcohol dehydrogenase LkTADH (A94T/F147L/L199H/A202L) was further studied by reverse mutation and key sites (147,202) had been identified. MF147L-A202L was obtained, which demonstrated 1-fold improvement in specific activity over LkTADH. After applying saturation mutagenesis at these two sites, MF147I-A202L was obtained with 1.47-fold improvement in specific activity over LkTADH. The specific activity reached 10.17U/mg, which is the highest level as reported. Through dynamic analysis and molecular docking, the effect of mutation sites on enzyme activity was further analyzed.
