(?)-vibo-Quercitol is a deoxyinositol (1l-1,2,4/3,5-cyclohexanepentol) that naturally occurs in oak species, honeydew honey, wines aged in oak barrels, and Gymnema sylvestre and is a potential intermediate for pharmaceuticals. We found that (?)-vibo-quercitol is stereoselectively synthesized from 2-deoxy-scyllo-inosose by the reductive reaction of a novel (?)-vibo-quercitol 1-dehydrogenase found in the proteomes of Burkholderia, Pseudomonas, and Arthrobacter. Among them, Burkholderia terrae sp. AKC-020 (40-1) produced a (?)-vibo-quercitol 1-dehydrogenase appropriate for synthesizing (?)-vibo-quercitol with a high diastereomeric excess. The enzyme was strongly induced in Bu. terrae cells when quercitol or 2-deoxy-scyllo-inosose was used as carbon source in the culture medium. The enzyme is NAD(H)-dependent and shows highly specific activity for (?)-vibo-quercitol and myo-inositol among the substrates tested. The enzyme gene (qudh) was obtained by PCR using degenerate primers based on the N-terminal and internal amino acid sequences of the purified enzyme, followed by thermal asymmetric interlaced PCR. The qudh gene showed homology with inositol 2-dehydrogenase (sharing 49.5% amino acid identity with IdhA from Sinorhizobium meliloti 1021). We successfully produced several recombinant (?)-vibo-quercitol 1-dehydrogenases and related enzymes identified by genome database mining using an Escherichia coli expression system. This revealed that scyllo-inositol dehydrogenase (IolX) in Bacillus subtilis can catalyze the reduction of 2-deoxy-scyllo-inosose to yield scyllo-quercitol, a stereoisomer of (?)-vibo-quercitol. Thus, we successfully identified two enzymes to produce both stereoisomers of deoxyinositols that are rare in nature.
