Abstract
tert-Butyl (3R,5S)-6-chloro-3,5-dihydroxyhexanoate ((3R,5S)-CDHH) is an important chiral intermediate for the synthesis of rosuvastatin. The biotechnological production of (3R,5S)-CDHH is catalyzed from tert-butyl (S)-6-chloro-5-hydroxy-3-oxohexanoate ((S)-CHOH) by a carbonyl reductase, and this synthetic pathway is becoming a primary route for (3R,5S)-CDHH production due to its high enantioselectivity, mild reaction conditions, low cost, process safety, and environmental friendship. However, the requirement of the pyridine nucleotide cofactors, reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) or reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) limits its economic flexibility. In the present study, a recombinant Escherichia coli strain harboring carbonyl reductase R9M and glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) was constructed with high carbonyl reduction activity and cofactor regeneration efficiency. The recombinant E. coli cells were applied for the efficient production of (3R,5S)-CDHH with a substrate conversion of 98.8%, a yield of 95.6% and an enantiomeric excess (e.e.) of >99.0% under 350 g/L of (S)-CHOH after 12 hr reaction. A substrate fed-batch strategy was further employed to increase the substrate concentration to 400 g/L resulting in an enhanced product yield to 98.5% after 12 hr reaction in a 1 L bioreactor. Meanwhile, the space-time yield was 1,182.3 g L-1 day-1 , which was the highest value ever reported by a coupled system of carbonyl reductase and glucose dehydrogenase.

Abstract
tert-Butyl (3R,5S)-6-chloro-3,5-dihydroxyhexanoate ((3R,5S)-CDHH) is the key intermediate for synthesis of atorvastatin and rosuvastatin. Carbonyl reductase exhibits excellent activity toward tert-butyl (S)-6-chloro-5-hydroxy-3-oxohexanoate ((S)-CHOH) to synthesize (3R,5S)-CDHH. In this study, a whole cell biosynthesis reaction system to produce (3R,5S)-CDHH was constructed in organic solvents. A solution of 10% (v/v) Tween-80 was introduced to the reaction system as a co-solvent, which greatly enhanced biotransformation process, giving 98.9% yield, >99% ee and 1.8-fold higher space time yield in 5 h bioconversion of 1 M (S)-CHOH, compared with 98.7% yield and >99% ee in 9 h bioconversion of a purely aqueous reaction system. Moreover, a water-octanol biphasic reaction system was built and 20% of octanol was added as reservoir of substrate resulting in 98% yield, >99% ee and 4.08 mmol L-1 h-1 g-1 (wet cell weight) space time yield. This study paved a way for the whole cell biosynthesis of (3R,5S)-CDHH in mono and biphasic media.

Abstract
tert-Butyl (3R,5S)-6-chloro-3,5-dihydroxyhexanoate ((3R,5S)-CDHH) is a key intermediate of atorvastatin and rosuvastatin synthesis. Carbonyl reductase RtSCR9 from Rhodosporidium toruloides exhibited excellent activity toward tert-butyl (S)-6-chloro-5-hydroxy-3-oxohexanoate ((S)-CHOH). For the activity of RtSCR9 to be improved, random mutagenesis and site-saturation mutagenesis were performed. Three positive mutants were obtained (mut-Gln95Asp, mut-Ile144Lys, and mut-Phe156Gln). These mutants exhibited 1.94-, 3.03-, and 1.61-fold and 1.93-, 3.15-, and 1.97-fold improvement in the specific activity and kcat/Km, respectively. Asymmetric reduction of (S)-CHOH by mut-Ile144Lys coupled with glucose dehydrogenase was conducted. The yield and enantiomeric excess of (3R,5S)-CDHH reached 98 and 99%, respectively, after 8 h bioconversion in a single batch reaction with 1 M (S)-CHOH, and the space-time yield reached 542.83 mmol L-1 h-1 g-1 wet cell weight. This study presents a new carbonyl reductase for efficient synthesis of (3R,5S)-CDHH.
