The (R)-imine reductase (RIR) of Streptomyces sp. GF3587 was purified and characterized. It was found to be a NADPH-dependent enzyme, and was found to be a homodimer consisting of 32 kDa subunits. Enzymatic reduction of 10 mM 2-methyl-1-pyrroline (2-MPN) resulted in the formation of 9.8 mM (R)-2-methylpyrrolidine ((R)-2-MP) with 99% e.e. The enzyme showed not only reduction activity for 2-MPN at neutral pH (6.5-8.0), but also oxidation activity for (R)-2-MP under alkaline pH (10-11.5) conditions. It appeared to be a sulfhydryl enzyme based on the sensitivity to sulfhydryl specific inhibitors. It was very specific to 2-MPN as substrate.
对链霉菌属GF3587的(R)-亚胺还原酶(RIR)进行了纯化和表征。发现它是一种依赖NADPH的酶,是由32 kDa亚基组成的同型二聚体。用该酶对10 mM 2-甲基-1-吡咯啉(2-MPN)进行酶促还原,生成了9.8 mM对映体过量值为99%的(R)-2-甲基吡咯烷((R)-2-MP)。该酶不仅在中性pH(6.5 - 8.0)下对2-MPN具有还原活性,而且在碱性pH(10 - 11.5)条件下对(R)-2-MP具有氧化活性。基于对巯基特异性抑制剂的敏感性,它似乎是一种巯基酶。它对作为底物的2-MPN具有高度特异性。
