Highly enantioselective kinetic resolution of two tertiary alcohols using mutants of an esterase from Bacillus subtilis.
Enzyme-catalyzed kinetic resolutions of secondary alcohols are a standard procedure today and several lipases and esterases have been described to show high activity and enantioselectivity. In contrast, tertiary alcohols and their esters are accepted only by a few biocatalysts. Only lipases and esterases with a conserved GGG(A)X-motif are active, but show low activity combined with low enantios...
متن کاملBiochemical diversity of carboxyl esterases and lipases from Lake Arreo (Spain): a metagenomic approach.
The esterases and lipases from the α/β hydrolase superfamily exhibit an enormous sequence diversity, fold plasticity, and activities. Here, we present the comprehensive sequence and biochemical analyses of seven distinct esterases and lipases from the metagenome of Lake Arreo, an evaporite karstic lake in Spain (42°46'N, 2°59'W; altitude, 655 m). Together with oligonucleotide usage patterns and...
متن کاملExtremely stable and versatile carboxylesterase from a hyperthermophilic archaeon.
We have found that the hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrobaculum calidifontis VA1 produced a thermostable esterase. We isolated and sequenced the esterase gene (est(Pc)) from strain VA1. est(Pc) consisted of 939 bp, corresponding to 313 amino acid residues with a molecular mass of 34,354 Da. As est(Pc) showed significant identity (30%) to mammalian hormone-sensitive lipases (HSLs), esterase of P. ...
متن کاملNew Extremophilic Lipases and Esterases from Metagenomics
Lipolytic enzymes catalyze the hydrolysis of ester bonds in the presence of water. In media with low water content or in organic solvents, they can catalyze synthetic reactions such as esterification and transesterification. Lipases and esterases, in particular those from extremophilic origin, are robust enzymes, functional under the harsh conditions of industrial processes owing to their inher...
متن کاملA cholinesterase genes server (ESTHER): a database of cholinesterase- related sequences for multiple alignments, phylogenetic relationships, mutations and structural data retrieval
We have built a database of sequences phylogenetically related to cholinesterases (ESTHER) for esterases, alpha/beta hydrolase enzymes and relatives). These sequences define a homogeneous group of enzymes (carboxylesterases, lipases and hormone-sensitive lipases) with some related proteins devoid of enzymatic activity. The purpose of ESTHER is to help comparison and alignment of any new sequenc...
