A gene from Bacillus pumilus expressed under its native promoter was cloned in Escherichia coli . Recombinant B. pumilus esterase (BPE) affects the kinetic resolution of racemic mixtures such as unsubstituted and substituted 1‐(phenyl)ethanols ( E ? 33 –103), ethyl 3‐hydroxy‐3‐phenylpropanoate ( E ? 45 –71), trans ‐4‐fluorophenyl‐3‐hydroxymethyl‐ N ‐methylpiperidine ( E ? 10 –13) and ethyl 2‐hydroxy‐4‐phenylbutyrate ( E ? 7 ). The enzyme is composed of a 34‐amino acid signal peptide and a 181‐amino acid mature protein corresponding to a molecular weight of ?19.2 kD and pI ? 9.4. 3‐D the structural model of the enzyme built by homology modelling using the atomic coordinates from the crystal structure of B. subtilis lipase (LipA) showed a compact minimal α/β hydrolase fold.
