Microorganisms were screened for ones that reduced 3,5,5-trimethyl-2-cyclohexene-1,4-dione (ketoisophorone; KIP), and several strains were found to produce (6R)-2,2,6-trimethylcyclohexane-1,4-dione (levodione). The enzyme catalyzing the reduction of the C=C bond of KIP to yield (6R)-levodione was isolated from Candida macedoniensis AKU4588. The results of primary structural analysis and its enzymatic properties suggested that the enzyme might be an Old Yellow Enzyme family protein.
筛选能够还原3,5,5-三甲基-2-环己烯-1,4-二酮(氧代异佛尔酮;KIP)的微生物,发现了几株能产生(6R)-2,2,6-三甲基环己烷-1,4-二酮(左型异佛尔酮)的菌株。从马其顿假丝酵母AKU4588中分离出催化KIP的C=C键还原生成(6R)-左型异佛尔酮的酶。一级结构分析结果及其酶学性质表明,该酶可能是一种老黄酶家族蛋白。
