Abstract

The present disclosure provides engineered polypeptides having imine reductase activity, polynucleotides encoding the engineered imine reductases, host cells capable of expressing the engineered imine reductases, and methods of using these engineered polypeptides with a range of ketone and amine substrate compounds to prepare secondary and tertiary amine product compounds.

Claims (22)

1. An engineered polynucleotide encoding an engineered polypeptide having imine reductase activity, wherein said polypeptide has at least 90% sequence identity to the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 2, and comprises a substitution at a position corresponding to position 280 of SEQ ID NO: 2, wherein the amino acid at position 280 has been replaced with an aliphatic or non-polar residue.

2. The engineered polynucleotide of claim 1 , wherein said polypeptide has at least 90% sequence identity to the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 2, wherein the amino acid at the position corresponding to position 280 of SEQ ID NO: 2 has been replaced with leucine.

3. The engineered polynucleotide of claim 1 , wherein said polypeptide is capable of converting substrate compound (1a) pyruvate,

and substrate compound (2b) butylamine

to product compound (3b), N-2-(butylamino)propanoic acid,

under suitable reaction conditions.

4. The engineered polynucleotide of claim 1 , wherein said polypeptide is capable of converting substrate compound (1b) cyclohexanone,

and substrate compound (2a) L-norvaline

to product compound (3c), (S)-2-(cyclohexylamino)pentanoic acid,

under suitable reaction conditions.

5. The engineered polynucleotide of claim 1 , wherein said polypeptide is capable of converting substrate compound (1b) cyclohexanone,

and substrate compound (2b) butylamine

to product compound (3d), N-butylcyclohexanamine,

under suitable reaction conditions.

6. The engineered polynucleotide of claim 1 , wherein said polypeptide is capable of converting substrate compound (1i),

and substrate compound (2b)

to product compound (3n),

under suitable reaction conditions.

7. The engineered polynucleotide of claim 1 , wherein said polypeptide is capable of converting substrate compound (1j),

and substrate compound (2b)

to product compound (3o),

under suitable reaction conditions.
