Enzymes originating from hostile environments offer exceptional stability under industrial conditions and are therefore highly in demand. Using single-cell genome data, we identified the alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) gene, , from the Atlantis II Deep Red Sea brine pool. ADH/A1a is highly active at elevated temperatures and high salt concentrations (optima at 70 °C and 4 m KCl) and withstands organic solvents. The polyextremophilic ADH/A1a exhibits a broad substrate scope including aliphatic and aromatic alcohols and is able to reduce cinnamyl-methyl-ketone and raspberry ketone in the reverse reaction, making it a possible candidate for the production of chiral compounds. Here, we report the affiliation of ADH/A1a to a rare enzyme family of microbial cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenases and explain unique structural features for halo- and thermoadaptation.
来源于恶劣环境的酶在工业条件下具有非凡的稳定性,因此需求量很大。我们利用单细胞基因组数据,从亚特兰蒂斯 II 深海卤水湖中鉴定出了醇脱氢酶(ADH)基因 。ADH/A1a 在高温和高盐浓度下(最佳温度为 70°C 和 4 m KCl)高度活跃,并能耐受有机溶剂。多极端适应的 ADH/A1a 表现出广泛的底物范围,包括脂肪族和芳香族醇,并且能够在逆反应中还原肉桂基甲基酮和覆盆子酮,使其成为手性化合物生产的潜在候选物。在这里,我们将 ADH/A1a 与微生物肉桂醇脱氢酶的罕见酶家族联系起来,并解释了其对卤化物和热适应的独特结构特征。
