We now report the isolation of three dominant competing/3-keto oxidoreductases and show a distinct correlation of the ester substituent with the specificity constant, 3, 4 kCM/K. Moreover, ethyl (7?)-4-chloro-3-hydroxybutanoate (5) of high optical purity (ee= 0.90) may now be prepared by using a mutant of S', cerevisiae lacking one of the competing enzymes of opposite stereochemical preference. We have purified three enzymes to homogeneity from the cytosolic fraction of bakers’ yeast (Red Star) capable of actively reducing 4-chloroacetoacetic esters to yield corresponding car-binolic products of high optical purity5 (> 0.97 ee). All of them utilize NADPH preferentially as the coenzyme. One of these enzymes (MW 2 400 000) possesses physical and chemical properties reminiscent of fatty acid synthetase6 and reduces/3-keto esters to yield carbinols of D configuration. 7 Although the natural substrates for the other two enzymes have not yet been defined they may be readily resolved on a hydroxyapatite column. The faster moving protein (d enzyme) has an MW of 38 000 and reduces/3-keto esters to yield d carbinolic products, whereas l enzyme (MW 74000) affords carbinols of l configuration. Be-cause mammalian L-3-(hydroxyacyl)-CoA dehydrogenase8 (EC 1: 1: 35) in the presence of NADH reduced 4-chloroacetoacetic esters to (R)-4-chloro-3-hydroxybutanoates of high enantiomeric excess (> 0.97), we carefully searched for this reductase activity in bakers’ yeast. While mitochondrial fractions of bakers’ yeast actively reduced acetoacetyl-CoA, only a trace of reductase activity was detectable using either 1 or 3 as substrates. This observation indicates that L-3-(hydroxyacyl)-CoA dehydrogenases of different species have marked differences in substrate specificities. 9 To gain an insight into the influence of the ester substituent on the enantioselective reduction of 7-chloro-/3-keto esters by intact bakers’ yeast, the kQM (turnover number) and K (Michaelis con-stant) for the three enzymes on various 4-chloroacetoacetic esters were measured (Table I).A moderate decrease in kaJK4 is noted forfatty acid synthetase as the ester grouping is enlarged (Figure 1). The more pronounced drop in kM/K for the octyl ester is attributable to a decrease in the value of/ceat (Table I). More dramatic is the increase in the value of kc¡¡ l/K as the ester grouping is changed from ethyl to octyl for the L enzyme (Figure 1). Interestingly, this increase is due to a decrease in K (Table I). These com-
