Orthogonal Expression of an Artificial Metalloenzyme for Abiotic Catalysis.

ABSTRACT: A cytochrome P450 was engineered to selectively incorporate Ir(Me)-deuteroporphyrin?IX (Ir(Me)-DPIX), in lieu of heme, in bacterial cells. Cofactor selectivity was altered by introducing mutations within the heme-binding pocket to discriminate the deuteroporphyrin macrocycle, in combination with mutations to the P450 axial cysteine to accommodate a pendant methyl group on the Ir(Me) center. This artificial metalloenzyme was investigated for activity in non-native metallocarbenoid-mediated olefin cyclopropanation reactions and showed enhanced activity for aliphatic and electron-deficient olefins when compared to the native heme enzyme. This work provides a general strategy to augment the chemical functionality of heme enzymes in cells with application towards abiotic catalysis.

Cross-Regulation of an Artificial Metalloenzyme.

Project description:Cross-regulation of complex biochemical reaction networks is an essential feature of living systems. In a biomimetic spirit, we report on our efforts to program the temporal activation of an artificial metalloenzyme via cross-regulation by a natural enzyme. In the presence of urea, urease slowly releases ammonia that reversibly inhibits an artificial transfer hydrogenase. Addition of an acid, which acts as fuel, allows to maintain the system out of equilibrium.

Orthogonal Nanoparticle Catalysis with Organogermanes.

Project description:Although nanoparticles are widely used as catalysts, little is known about their potential ability to trigger privileged transformations as compared to homogeneous molecular or bulk heterogeneous catalysts. We herein demonstrate (and rationalize) that nanoparticles display orthogonal reactivity to molecular catalysts in the cross-coupling of aryl halides with aryl germanes. While the aryl germanes are unreactive in Ln Pd0 /Ln PdII catalysis and allow selective functionalization of established coupling partners in their presence, they display superior reactivity under Pd nanoparticle conditions, outcompeting established coupling partners (such as ArBPin and ArBMIDA) and allowing air-tolerant, base-free, and orthogonal access to valuable and challenging biaryl motifs. As opposed to the notoriously unstable polyfluoroaryl- and 2-pyridylboronic acids, the corresponding germanes are highly stable and readily coupled. Our mechanistic and computational studies provide unambiguous support of nanoparticle catalysis and suggest that owing to the electron richness of aryl germanes, they preferentially react by electrophilic aromatic substitution, and in turn are preferentially activated by the more electrophilic nanoparticles.

Biocatalyst-artificial metalloenzyme cascade based on alcohol dehydrogenase.

Project description:Chemo-enzymatic cascades of enzymes with transition metal catalysts can offer efficient synthetic strategies, but their development is challenging due to the incompatibility between proteins and transition metal complexes. Rhodium catalysts can be combined with alcohol dehydrogenases to regenerate nicotinamide cofactors using formate as the hydride donor. However, their use is limited, due to binding of the metals to residues on the enzyme surface, leading to mutual enzyme and catalyst inactivation. In this work, we replaced the zinc from Thermoanaerobacter brockii alcohol dehydrogenase (TbADH) with Rh(iii) catalysts possessing nitrogen donor ligands, by covalent conjugation to the active site cysteine, to create artificial metalloenzymes for NADP+ reduction. TbADH was used as protein scaffold for both alcohol synthesis and the recycling of the cofactor, by combination of the chemically modified species with the non-modified recombinant enzyme. Stability studies revealed that the incorporation of the catalysts into the TbADH pocket provided a shielding environment for the metal catalyst, resulting in increased stability of both the recycling catalyst and the ADH. The reduction of a representative ketone using this novel alcohol dehydrogenase-artificial formate dehydrogenase cascade yielded better conversions than in the presence of free metal catalyst.

Engineering a Metathesis-Catalyzing Artificial Metalloenzyme Based on HaloTag.

Project description:Artificial metalloenzymes (ArMs) are created by embedding a synthetic metal catalyst into a protein scaffold. ArMs have the potential to merge the catalytic advantages of natural enzymes with the reaction scope of synthetic catalysts. The choice of the protein scaffold is of utmost importance to tune the activity of the ArM. Herein, we show the repurposing of HaloTag, a self-labeling protein widely used in chemical biology, to create an ArM scaffold for metathesis. This monomeric protein scaffold allows for covalent attachment of metathesis cofactors, and the resulting ArMs are capable of catalyzing ring-closing metathesis. Both chemical and genetic engineering were explored to determine the evolvability of the resulting ArM. Additionally, exploration of the substrate scope revealed a reaction with promising turnover numbers (>48) and conversion rates (>96%).

Engineering a dirhodium artificial metalloenzyme for selective olefin cyclopropanation.

Project description:Artificial metalloenzymes (ArMs) formed by incorporating synthetic metal catalysts into protein scaffolds have the potential to impart to chemical reactions selectivity that would be difficult to achieve using metal catalysts alone. In this work, we covalently link an alkyne-substituted dirhodium catalyst to a prolyl oligopeptidase containing a genetically encoded L-4-azidophenylalanine residue to create an ArM that catalyses olefin cyclopropanation. Scaffold mutagenesis is then used to improve the enantioselectivity of this reaction, and cyclopropanation of a range of styrenes and donor-acceptor carbene precursors were accepted. The ArM reduces the formation of byproducts, including those resulting from the reaction of dirhodium-carbene intermediates with water. This shows that an ArM can improve the substrate specificity of a catalyst and, for the first time, the water tolerance of a metal-catalysed reaction. Given the diversity of reactions catalysed by dirhodium complexes, we anticipate that dirhodium ArMs will provide many unique opportunities for selective catalysis.

Mn-Mimochrome VI*a: An Artificial Metalloenzyme With Peroxygenase Activity.

Project description:Manganese-porphyrins are important tools in catalysis, due to their capability to promote a wide variety of synthetically valuable transformations. Despite their great reactivity, the difficulties to control the reaction selectivity and to protect the catalyst from self-degradation hamper their practical application. Compared to small-molecule porphyrin complexes, metalloenzymes display remarkable features, because the reactivity of the metal center is finely modulated by a complex interplay of interactions within the protein matrix. In the effort to combine the catalytic potential of manganese porphyrins with the unique properties of biological catalysts, artificial metalloenzymes have been reported, mainly by incorporation of manganese-porphyrins into native protein scaffolds. Here we describe the spectroscopic and catalytic properties of Mn-Mimochrome VI*a (Mn-MC6*a), a mini-protein with a manganese deuteroporphyrin active site within a scaffold of two synthetic peptides covalently bound to the porphyrin. Mn-MC6*a is an efficient catalyst endowed with peroxygenase activity. The UV-vis absorption spectrum of Mn-MC6*a resembles that of Mn-reconstituted horseradish peroxidase (Mn-HRP), both in the resting and high-valent oxidized states. Remarkably, Mn-MC6*a shows a higher reactivity compared to Mn-HRP, because higher yields and chemoselectivity were observed in thioether oxidation. Experimental evidences also provided indications on the nature of the high-valent reactive intermediate and on the sulfoxidation mechanism.

Asymmetric δ-Lactam Synthesis with a Monomeric Streptavidin Artificial Metalloenzyme.

Project description:Reliable design of artificial metalloenzymes (ArMs) to access transformations not observed in nature remains a long-standing and important challenge. We report that a monomeric streptavidin (mSav) Rh(III) ArM permits asymmetric synthesis of α,β-unsaturated-δ-lactams via a tandem C-H activation and [4+2] annulation reaction. These products are readily derivatized to enantioenriched piperidines, the most common N-heterocycle found in FDA approved pharmaceuticals. Desired δ-lactams are achieved in yields as high as 99% and enantiomeric excess of 97% under aqueous conditions at room temperature. Embedding a Rh cyclopentadienyl (Cp*) catalyst in the active site of mSav results in improved stereocontrol and a 7-fold enhancement in reactivity relative to the isolated biotinylated Rh(III) cofactor. In addition, mSav-Rh outperforms its well-established tetrameric forms, displaying 11-33 times more reactivity.

Ultrahigh-Throughput Screening of an Artificial Metalloenzyme using Double Emulsions.

Project description:The potential for ultrahigh-throughput compartmentalization renders droplet microfluidics an attractive tool for the directed evolution of enzymes. Importantly, it ensures maintenance of the phenotype-genotype linkage, enabling reliable identification of improved mutants. Herein, we report an approach for ultrahigh-throughput screening of an artificial metalloenzyme in double emulsion droplets (DEs) using commercially available fluorescence-activated cell sorters (FACS). This protocol was validated by screening a 400 double-mutant streptavidin library for ruthenium-catalyzed deallylation of an alloc-protected aminocoumarin. The most active variants, identified by next-generation sequencing, were in good agreement with hits obtained using a 96-well plate procedure. These findings pave the way for the systematic implementation of FACS for the directed evolution of (artificial) enzymes and will significantly expand the accessibility of ultrahigh-throughput DE screening protocols.

An artificial metalloenzyme for catalytic cancer-specific DNA cleavage and operando imaging.

Project description:Metalloenzymes are promising anticancer candidates to overcome chemoresistance by involving unique mechanisms. To date, it is still a great challenge to obtain synthetic metalloenzymes with persistent catalytic performance for cancer-specific DNA cleavage and operando imaging. Here, an artificial metalloenzyme, copper cluster firmly anchored in bovine serum albumin conjugated with tumor-targeting peptide, is exquisitely constructed. It is capable of persistently transforming hydrogen peroxide in tumor microenvironment to hydroxyl radical and oxygen in a catalytic manner. The stable catalysis recycling stems from the electron transfer between copper cluster and substrate with well-matched energy levels. Notably, their high biocompatibility, tumor-specific recognition, and persistent catalytic performance ensure the substantial anticancer efficacy by triggering DNA damage. Meanwhile, by coupling with enzyme-like reactions, the operando therapy effect is expediently traced by chemiluminescence signal with high sensitivity and sustainability. It provides new insights into synthesizing biocompatible metalloenzymes on demand to visually monitor and efficiently combat specific cancers.

Cofactor Binding Dynamics Influence the Catalytic Activity and Selectivity of an Artificial Metalloenzyme.

Project description:We present an artificial metalloenzyme based on the transcriptional regulator LmrR that exhibits dynamics involving the positioning of its abiological metal cofactor. The position of the cofactor, in turn, was found to be related to the preferred catalytic reactivity, which is either the enantioselective Friedel-Crafts alkylation of indoles with ?-substituted enones or the tandem Friedel-Crafts alkylation/enantioselective protonation of indoles with ?-substituted enones. The artificial metalloenzyme could be specialized for one of these catalytic reactions introducing a single mutation in the protein. The relation between cofactor dynamics and activity and selectivity in catalysis has not been described for natural enzymes and, to date, appears to be particular for artificial metalloenzymes.
