Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide a novel method capable of producing rosuvastatin calcium and intermediates therefor efficiently, inexpensively and with high purity. The present invention provides a method of efficiently producing rosuvastatin calcium and intermediates therefor having a high purity at an industrial scale, without using an extremely low temperature reaction or a special asymmetric catalyst.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a carbonyl reductase having the activity of reducing a carbonyl group-containing compound to convert the compound into an optically active compound, and a production method of an optically active compound using the enzyme. Specifically, a carbonyl reductase having one or more mutations in which the 54th aspartic acid, the 157th methionine, the 170th alanine, the 211th isoleucine, the 214th methionine, and the 249th methionine are each substituted by other specific amino acid in the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 1 or a homologue of the amino acid sequence, and a production method of an optically active compound using the same are provided.

Abstract:
A method for producing cis-5-hydroxy-L-pipecolic acid, the method comprising allowing a 2-oxoglutarate-dependent L-pipecolic acid hydroxylase to act on L-pipecolic acid to generate cis-5-hydroxy-L-pipecolic acid, wherein the 2-oxoglutarate-dependent L-pipecolic acid hydroxylase comprises the polypeptide (A), (B) or (C) below: (A) a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 4 or 11; (B) a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 4 or 11 except that one or several amino acids are deleted, substituted, and/or added, which polypeptide has 2-oxoglutarate-dependentL-pipecolic acid hydroxylase activity; or (C) a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence with an identity of not less than 60% to the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 4 or 11, which polypeptide has 2-oxoglutarate-dependent L-pipecolic acid hydroxylase activity.
