Efficient 1-Hydroxy-2-Butanone Production from 1,2-Butanediol by Whole Cells of Engineered <i>E. coli</i>

1-Hydroxy-2-butanone (HB) is a key intermediate for anti-tuberculosis pharmaceutical ethambutol. Commercially available HB is primarily obtained by the oxidation of 1,2-butanediol (1,2-BD) using chemical catalysts.

description 1-Hydroxy-2-butanone (HB) is a key intermediate for anti-tuberculosis pharmaceutical ethambutol. Commercially available HB is primarily obtained by the oxidation of 1,2-butanediol (1,2-BD) using chemical catalysts. In present study, seven enzymes including diol dehydrogenases, secondary alcohol dehydrogenases and glycerol dehydrogenase were chosen to evaluate their abilities in the conversion of 1,2-BD to HB. The results showed that (2<i>R</i>, 3<i>R</i>)- and (2<i>S</i>, 3<i>S</i>)-butanediol dehydrogenase (BDH) from <i>Serratia</i> sp. T241 could efficiently transform (<i>R</i>)- and (<i>S</i>)-1,2-BD into HB respectively. Furthermore, two biocatalysts co-expressing (2<i>R</i>, 3<i>R</i>)-/(2<i>S</i>, 3<i>S</i>)-BDH, NADH oxidase and hemoglobin protein in <i>Escherichia coli</i> were developed to convert 1,2-BD mixture into HB, and the transformation conditions were optimized. Maximum HB yield of 341.35 and 188.80 mM could be achieved from 440 mM (<i>R</i>)-1,2-BD and 360 mM (<i>S</i>)-1,2-BD by <i>E. coli</i> (pET-<i>rrbdh</i>-<i>nox</i>-<i>vgb</i>) and <i>E. coli</i> (pET-<i>ssbdh</i>-<i>nox</i>-<i>vgb</i>) under the optimized conditions. In addition, two biocatalysts showed the ability in chiral resolution of 1,2-BD isomers, and 135.68 mM (<i>S</i>)-1,2-BD and 112.43 mM (<i>R</i>)-1,2-BD with the purity of 100% could be obtained from 300 and 200 mM 1,2-BD mixture by <i>E. coli</i> (pET-<i>rrbdh</i>-<i>nox</i>-<i>vgb</i>) and <i>E. coli</i> (pET-<i>ssbdh</i>-<i>nox</i>-<i>vgb</i>), respectively. These results provided potential application for HB production from 1,2-BD mixture and chiral resolution of (<i>R</i>)-1,2-BD and (<i>S</i>)-1,2-BD.
