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.

Although the range of biocatalysts available for the synthesis of enantiomerically pure chiral amines continues to expand, few existing methods provide access to secondary amines. To address this shortcoming, we have over-expressed the gene for an ()-imine reductase [()-IRED] from sp. GF3587 in to create a recombinant whole-cell biocatalyst for the asymmetric reduction of prochiral imines.
