A Multi-Enzyme Cascade Reaction for the Production of 2'3'-cGAMP.

ABSTRACT: Multi-enzyme cascade reactions for the synthesis of complex products have gained importance in recent decades. Their advantages compared to single biotransformations include the possibility to synthesize complex molecules without purification of reaction intermediates, easier handling of unstable intermediates, and dealing with unfavorable thermodynamics by coupled equilibria. In this study, a four-enzyme cascade consisting of ScADK, AjPPK2, and SmPPK2 for ATP synthesis from adenosine coupled to the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) catalyzing cyclic GMP-AMP (2'3'-cGAMP) formation was successfully developed. The 2'3'-cGAMP synthesis rates were comparable to the maximal reaction rate achieved in single-step reactions. An iterative optimization of substrate, cofactor, and enzyme concentrations led to an overall yield of 0.08 mole 2'3'-cGAMP per mole adenosine, which is comparable to chemical synthesis. The established enzyme cascade enabled the synthesis of 2'3'-cGAMP from GTP and inexpensive adenosine as well as polyphosphate in a biocatalytic one-pot reaction, demonstrating the performance capabilities of multi-enzyme cascades for the synthesis of pharmaceutically relevant products.

RNAseq of 2'3' cGAMP injected Drosophila melanogaster

Project description:We recently reported that an orthologue of STING regulates infection by picorna-like viruses in drosophila. Here, we show that injection of flies with 2’3’-cGAMP can induce expression of dSTING-regulated genes. Analysis of the transcriptome of 2’3’-cGAMP injected flies reveals a complex pattern of response, with early and late induced genes. Our results reveal that dSTING regulates an NF-κB -dependent antiviral program, which predates the emergence of Interferon Regulatory Factors and interferons in vertebrates.

Hydrolysis of 2'3'-cGAMP by ENPP1 and design of nonhydrolyzable analogs.

Project description:Agonists of mouse STING (TMEM173) shrink and even cure solid tumors by activating innate immunity; human STING (hSTING) agonists are needed to test this therapeutic hypothesis in humans. The endogenous STING agonist is 2'3'-cGAMP, a second messenger that signals the presence of cytosolic double-stranded DNA. We report activity-guided partial purification and identification of ecto-nucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase (ENPP1) to be the dominant 2'3'-cGAMP hydrolyzing activity in cultured cells. The hydrolysis activity of ENPP1 was confirmed using recombinant protein and was depleted in tissue extracts and plasma from Enpp1(-/-) mice. We synthesized a hydrolysis-resistant bisphosphothioate analog of 2'3'-cGAMP (2'3'-cG(s)A(s)MP) that has similar affinity for hSTING in vitro and is ten times more potent at inducing IFN-? secretion from human THP1 monocytes. Studies in mouse Enpp1(-/-) lung fibroblasts indicate that resistance to hydrolysis contributes substantially to its higher potency. 2'3'-cG(s)A(s)MP is therefore improved over natural 2'3'-cGAMP as a model agonist and has potential as a vaccine adjuvant and cancer therapeutic.

Novel Applications of Biocatalysis to Stereochemistry Determination of 2'3'-cGAMP Bisphosphorothioate (2'3'-cG<sup>S</sup>A<sup>S</sup>MP).

Project description:The metazoan second messenger 2'3'-cyclic guanosine monophosphate-adenosine monophosphate (cGAMP) is a cyclic dinucleotide (CDN) that induces secretion of type I interferons and activates the immune system and has thus attracted significant interest as a vaccine adjuvant or immunotherapeutic. CDN bisphosphorothioates are of particular interest because of their increased hydrolytic stability and improved cell activities. In our work with CDN bisphosphorothioates, we sought a method for systematic determination of the absolute stereochemistry of their phosphorothioate stereocenters. A novel biocatalytic method employing snake venom phosphodiesterase (svPDE) and nP1 has been developed and successfully applied to stereochemistry determination of 2'3'-cGAMP bisphosphorothioates. This method unambiguously assigned the phosphorothioate stereochemistry of four diastereomers of 2'3'-cGAMP bisphosphorothioate by analyzing distinct hydrolysis patterns of the bisphosphorothioate diastereomers upon incubation with svPDE and nP1. Furthermore, the regiospecificity as well as stereospecificity of both svPDE and nP1 toward 2'3'-cGAMP bisphosphorothioate has been elucidated.

A Multi-Enzymatic Cascade Reaction for the Stereoselective Production of ?-Oxyfunctionalyzed Amino Acids.

Project description:A stereoselective three-enzyme cascade for synthesis of diasteromerically pure ?-oxyfunctionalized ?-amino acids was developed. By coupling a dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) using an N-acylamino acid racemase (NAAAR) and an L-selective aminoacylase from Geobacillus thermoglucosidasius with a stereoselective isoleucine dioxygenase from Bacillus thuringiensis, diastereomerically pure oxidized amino acids were produced from racemic N-acetylamino acids. The three enzymes differed in their optimal temperature and pH-spectra. Their different metal cofactor dependencies led to inhibitory effects. Under optimized conditions, racemic N-acetylmethionine was quantitatively converted into L-methionine-(S)-sulfoxide with 97% yield and 95% de. The combination of these three different biocatalysts allowed the direct synthesis of diastereopure oxyfunctionalized amino acids from inexpensive racemic starting material.

Forward design of a complex enzyme cascade reaction.

Project description:Enzymatic reaction networks are unique in that one can operate a large number of reactions under the same set of conditions concomitantly in one pot, but the nonlinear kinetics of the enzymes and the resulting system complexity have so far defeated rational design processes for the construction of such complex cascade reactions. Here we demonstrate the forward design of an in vitro 10-membered system using enzymes from highly regulated biological processes such as glycolysis. For this, we adapt the characterization of the biochemical system to the needs of classical engineering systems theory: we combine online mass spectrometry and continuous system operation to apply standard system theory input functions and to use the detailed dynamic system responses to parameterize a model of sufficient quality for forward design. This allows the facile optimization of a 10-enzyme cascade reaction for fine chemical production purposes.

Ester alkaloids from Cephalotaxus interfere with the 2'3'-cGAMP-induced type I interferon pathway in vitro.

Project description:Dysregulated activation of the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS-STING) pathway by self-DNA contributes to interferonopathy and promotes autoimmune diseases. To identify potential suppressors of STING-induced type I interferon (IFN) induction, ethanol extracts of medicinal plants were screened for inhibitory activity against IFN-ß promoter activation. Notably, 70% ethanol extract of Cephalotaxus koreana specifically down-regulated STING-induced, but not TBK1- or IRF3-induced, IFN-ß promoter activity. The compounds exerting inhibitory activity specifically against STING-mediated IFN-ß promoter activation were identified as ester alkaloids isolated from the genus, Cephalotaxus, homoharringtonine and harringtonine. Furthermore, these two compounds inhibited 2'3'-cGAMP-induced IFN-stimulated gene expression and interaction between STING and TBK1. These suppressive effects were not observed with cephalotaxine devoid of the ester side-chain. Our data support the potential utility of homoharringtonine and harringtonine to treat STING-associated interferonopathy and autoimmune diseases.

Biomimetic enzyme cascade reaction system in microfluidic electrospray microcapsules.

Project description:Mimicking subcellular compartments containing enzymes in organisms is considered a promising approach to substitute for missing or lost cellular functions. Inspired by the multicompartment structures of cellular architectures, we present a novel multienzyme system based on hollow hydrogel microcapsules with flexible enzymatic inverse opal particles. Benefiting from the precise operation capability of the microfluidic electrospray and the remarkable structural color marks in the inverse opal particles, we developed a multienzyme system with controllable number, type, and spatial arrangement of the encapsulated enzymes. The hydrogel shells also could improve enzyme stability against proteolysis in the system. The multienzyme system containing alcohol oxidase and catalase could act as a cascade biocatalyst and reduce alcohol levels in media, providing an alternative antidote and prophylactic for alcohol intoxication. These features indicated that our strategy provides an ideal enzyme cascade reaction system for complex biocatalysis and biomimetic functions of some organelles or organs.

The cyclic dinucleotide 2'3'-cGAMP induces a broad antibacterial and antiviral response in the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis.

Project description:In mammals, cyclic dinucleotides (CDNs) bind and activate STING to initiate an antiviral type I interferon response. CDNs and STING originated in bacteria and are present in most animals. By contrast, interferons are believed to have emerged in vertebrates; thus, the function of CDN signaling in invertebrates is unclear. Here, we use a CDN, 2'3' cyclic guanosine monophosphate-adenosine monophosphate (2'3'-cGAMP), to activate immune responses in a model cnidarian invertebrate, the starlet sea anemone Nematostella vectensis Using RNA sequencing, we found that 2'3'-cGAMP induces robust transcription of both antiviral and antibacterial genes in N. vectensis Many of the antiviral genes induced by 2'3'-cGAMP are homologs of vertebrate interferon-stimulated genes, implying that the interferon response predates the evolution of interferons. Knockdown experiments identified a role for NF-κB in specifically inducing antibacterial genes downstream of 2'3'-cGAMP. Some of these putative antibacterial genes were also found to be induced during Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection. We characterized the protein product of one of the putative antibacterial genes, the N. vectensis homolog of Dae4, and found that it has conserved antibacterial activity. This work suggests that a broad antibacterial and antiviral transcriptional response is an evolutionarily ancestral output of 2'3'-cGAMP signaling in animals.

Improving the Production of L-Phenylalanine by Identifying Key Enzymes Through Multi-Enzyme Reaction System in Vitro.

Project description:L-Phenylalanine (L-Phe) is an important amino acid used in both food and medicinal applications. We developed an in vitro system that allowed a direct, quantitative investigation of phenylalanine biosynthesis in E. coli. Here, the absolute concentrations of six enzymes (AroK, AroL, AroA, AroC, PheA and TyrB) involved in the shikimate (SHIK) pathway were determined by a quantitative proteomics approach and in vitro enzyme titration experiments. The reconstitution of an in vitro reaction system for these six enzymes was established and their effects on the phenylalanine production were tested. The results showed that the yield of phenylalanine increased 3.0 and 2.1 times when the concentrations of shikimate kinase (AroL) and 5-enolpyruvoyl shikimate 3-phosphate (EPSP) synthase (AroA) were increased 2.5 times. Consistent results were obtained from in vivo via the overexpression of AroA in a phenylalanine-producing strain, and the titer of phenylalanine reached 62.47 g/l after 48 h cultivation in a 5-liter jar fermentor. Our quantitative findings provide a practical method to detect the potential bottleneck in a specific metabolic pathway to determine which gene products should be targeted to improve the yield of the desired product.
