Leifsonia xyli HS0904 can stereoselectively catalyze the bioreduction of 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl) acetophenone (BTAP) to its corresponding alcohol, which is a valuable chiral intermediate in the pharmaceuticals. In this study, a new carbonyl reductase derived from L. xyli HS0904 was purified and its biochemical properties were determined in detail. The carbonyl reductase was purified by 530-fold with a specific activity of 13.2 U mg−1 and found to be a homodimer with a molecular mass of 49 kDa, in which the subunit molecular-weight was about 24 kDa. The purified enzyme exhibited a maximum enzyme activity at 34 °C and pH 7.2, and retained over 90% of its initial activity at 4 °C and pH 7.0 for 24 h. The addition of various additives, such as Ca2+, Mg2+, Mn2+, l-cysteine, l-glutathione, urea, PEG 1000 and PEG 4000, could enhance the enzyme activity. The maximal reaction rate (Vmax) and apparent Michaelis–Menten constant (Km) of the purified carbonyl reductase for BTAP and NADH were confirmed as 33.9 U mg−1, 0.383 mM and 69.9 U mg−1, 0.412 mM, respectively. Furthermore, this enzyme was found to have a broad spectrum of substrate specificity and can asymmetrically catalyze the reduction of a variety of ketones and keto esters.
