Provided are novel hetero-oligomers of (S)-carbonyl reductases and their application in catalyzing the reduction of polyphenyl ketones. Also provided are recombinant strains expressing hetero-oligomers of SCR/SCR2 or SCR2/SCR3, which can catalyze the reduction of polyphenyl ketones. The hetero-oligomer of SCR/SCR2 is capable of catalyzing 2,4-dichlorobenzophenone, 2-naphthalenone and [(E)-2-[3-[3-[2-(7-chloro-2-quinolinyl)ethenyl]phenyl]-3-oxopropyl]benzoic acid methyl ester (Keto Easter M) with a specific activity of 4.55 U/mg, 2.43 U/mg and 0.86 U/mg, respectively. The hetero-oligomer of SCR2/SCR3 is capable of catalyzing 2,4-dichlorobenzophenone and [(E)-2-[3-[3-[2-(7-chloro-2-quinolinyl)ethenyl]phenyl]-3-oxopropyl]benzoic acid methyl ester (Keto Easter M) with a specific activity of 4.42 U/mg and 1.21 U/mg, respectively. No catalyzing activities for reducing polyphenyl ketones were detected in the naturally existing homo-oligomers of SCR, SCR2 or SCR3, which can catalyze the reduction of monobenzoic cyclic compounds. The invention expands the substrate spectrum of natural (S)-carbonyl reductases (SCR, SCR2 and SCR3) and provides a novel type of oxidoreductases for catalyzing the reduction of polyphenyl ketones.
