Enzymatic Production of 3-OH Phlorizin, a Possible Bioactive Polyphenol from Apples, by Bacillus megaterium CYP102A1 via Regioselective Hydroxylation.

ABSTRACT: Phlorizin is the most abundant glucoside of phloretin from the apple tree and its products. Phlorizin and its aglycone phloretin are currently considered health-beneficial polyphenols from apples useful in treating hyperglycemia and obesity. Recently, we showed that phloretin could be regioselectively hydroxylated to make 3-OH phloretin by Bacillus megaterium CYP102A1 and human P450 enzymes. The 3-OH phloretin has a potent inhibitory effect on differentiating 3T3-L1 preadipocytes into adipocytes and lipid accumulation. The glucoside of 3-OH phloretin would be a promising agent with increased bioavailability and water solubility compared with its aglycone. However, procedures to make 3-OH phlorizin, a glucoside of 3-OH phloretin, using chemical methods, are not currently available. Here, a biocatalytic strategy for the efficient synthesis of a possibly valuable hydroxylated product, 3-OH phlorizin, was developed via CYP102A1-catalyzed regioselective hydroxylation. The production of 3-OH phlorizin by CYP102A1 was confirmed by HPLC and LC-MS spectroscopy in addition to enzymatic removal of its glucose moiety for comparison to 3-OH phloretin. Taken together, in this study, we found a panel of mutants from B. megaterium CYP102A1 could catalyze regioselective hydroxylation of phlorizin to produce 3-OH phlorizin, a catechol product.

Regioselective Hydroxylation of Phloretin, a Bioactive Compound from Apples, by Human Cytochrome P450 Enzymes.

Project description:Phloretin, the major polyphenol compound in apples and apple products, is interesting because it shows beneficial effects on human health. It is mainly found as a form of glucoside, phlorizin. However, the metabolic pathway of phloretin in humans has not been reported. Therefore, identifying phloretin metabolites made in human liver microsomes and the human cytochrome P450 (P450) enzymes to make them is interesting. In this study, the roles of human liver P450s for phloretin oxidation were examined using human liver microsomes and recombinant human liver P450s. One major metabolite of phloretin in human liver microsomes was 3-OH phloretin, which is the same product of a bacterial CYP102A1-catalyzed reaction of phloretin. CYP3A4 and CYP2C19 showed kcat values of 3.1 and 5.8 min-1, respectively. However, CYP3A4 has a 3.3-fold lower Km value than CYP2C19. The catalytic efficiency of a CYP3A4-catalyzed reaction is 1.8-fold higher than a reaction catalyzed by CYP2C19. Whole-cell biotransformation with CYP3A4 was achieved 0.16 mM h-1 productivity for 3-OH phlorein from 8 mM phloretin at optimal condition. Phloretin was a potent inhibitor of CYP3A4-catalyzed testosterone 6β-hydroxylation activity. Antibodies against CYP3A4 inhibited up to 90% of the microsomal activity of phloretin 3-hydroxylation. The immunoinhibition effect of anti-2C19 is much lower than that of anti-CYP3A4. Thus, CYP3A4 majorly contributes to the human liver microsomal phloretin 3-hydroxylation, and CYP2C19 has a minor role.

Regioselective Enzymatic Carboxylation of Bioactive (Poly)phenols.

Project description:In order to extend the applicability of the regioselective enzymatic carboxylation of phenols, the substrate scope of o-benzoic acid (de)carboxylases has been investigated towards complex molecules with an emphasis on flavouring agents and polyphenols possessing antioxidant properties. o-Hydroxycarboxylic acid products were obtained with perfect regioselectivity, in moderate to excellent yields. The applicability of this method was proven by the regioselective bio-carboxylation of resveratrol on a preparative scale with 95% yield.

Combining substrate dynamics, binding statistics, and energy barriers to rationalize regioselective hydroxylation of octane and lauric acid by CYP102A1 and mutants.

Project description:Hydroxylations of octane and lauric acid by Cytochrome P450-BM3 (CYP102A1) wild-type and three active site mutants--F87A, L188Q/A74G, and F87V/L188Q/A74G--were rationalized using a combination of substrate orientation from docking, substrate binding statistics from molecular dynamics simulations, and barrier energies for hydrogen atom abstraction from quantum mechanical calculations. Wild-type BM3 typically hydroxylates medium- to long-chain fatty acids on subterminal (omega-1, omega-2, omega-3) but not the terminal (omega) positions. The known carboxylic anchoring site Y51/R47 for lauric acid, and hydrophobic interactions and steric exclusion, mainly by F87, for octane as well as lauric acid, play a role in the binding modes of the substrates. Electrostatic interactions between the protein and the substrate strongly modulate the substrate's regiodependent activation barriers. A combination of the binding statistics and the activation barriers of hydrogen-atom abstraction in the substrates is proposed to determine the product formation. Trends observed in experimental product formation for octane and lauric acid by wild-type BM3 and the three active site mutants were qualitatively explained. It is concluded that the combination of substrate binding statistics and hydrogen-atom abstraction barrier energies is a valuable tool to rationalize substrate binding and product formation and constitutes an important step toward prediction of product ratios.

Characterization of diverse natural variants of CYP102A1 found within a species of Bacillus megaterium.

Project description:An extreme diversity of substrates and catalytic reactions of cytochrome P450 (P450) enzymes is considered to be the consequence of evolutionary adaptation driven by different metabolic or environmental demands. Here we report the presence of numerous natural variants of P450 BM3 (CYP102A1) within a species of Bacillus megaterium. Extensive amino acid substitutions (up to 5% of the total 1049 amino acid residues) were identified from the variants. Phylogenetic analyses suggest that this P450 gene evolve more rapidly than the rRNA gene locus. It was found that key catalytic residues in the substrate channel and active site are retained. Although there were no apparent variations in hydroxylation activity towards myristic acid (C14) and palmitic acid (C16), the hydroxylation rates of lauric acid (C12) by the variants varied in the range of >25-fold. Interestingly, catalytic activities of the variants are promiscuous towards non-natural substrates including human P450 substrates. It can be suggested that CYP102A1 variants can acquire new catalytic activities through site-specific mutations distal to the active site.

Computational redesign of cytochrome P450 CYP102A1 for highly stereoselective omeprazole hydroxylation by UniDesign.

Project description:Cytochrome P450 CYP102A1 is a prototypic biocatalyst that has great potential in chemical synthesis, drug discovery, and biotechnology. CYP102A1 variants engineered by directed evolution and/or rational design are capable of catalyzing the oxidation of a wide range of organic compounds. However, it is difficult to foresee the outcome of engineering CYP102A1 for a compound of interest. Here, we introduce UniDesign as a computational framework for enzyme design and engineering. We tested UniDesign by redesigning CYP102A1 for stereoselective metabolism of omeprazole (OMP), a proton pump inhibitor, starting from an active but nonstereoselective triple mutant (TM: A82F/F87V/L188Q). To shift stereoselectivity toward (R)-OMP, we computationally scanned three active site positions (75, 264, and 328) for mutations that would stabilize the binding of the transition state of (R)-OMP while destabilizing that of (S)-OMP and picked three variants, namely UD1 (TM/L75I), UD2 (TM/A264G), and UD3 (TM/A328V), for experimentation, based on computed energy scores and models. UD1, UD2, and UD3 exhibit high turnover rates of 55 ± 4.7, 84 ± 4.8, and 79 ± 5.7 min-1, respectively, for (R)-OMP hydroxylation, whereas the corresponding rates for (S)-OMP are only 2.2 ± 0.19, 6.0 ± 0.68, and 14 ± 2.8 min-1, yielding an enantiomeric excess value of 92, 87, and 70%, respectively. These results suggest the critical roles of L75I, A264G, and A328V in steering OMP in the optimal orientation for stereoselective oxidation and demonstrate the utility of UniDesign for engineering CYP102A1 to produce drug metabolites of interest. The results are discussed in the context of protein structures.

A diversity-oriented synthesis of bioactive benzanilides <i>via</i> a regioselective C(sp<sup>2</sup>)-H hydroxylation strategy.

Project description:A diversity-oriented synthesis of bioactive benzanilides via C(sp2)-H hydroxylation has been studied. Different regioselectivity was observed with Ru(ii) and Pd(ii) catalysts. The reaction demonstrates excellent regioselectivity, good tolerance of functional groups, and high yields. A wide range of ortho-hydroxylated-benzanilides can be readily synthesized with excellent regioselectivity via this new synthetic strategy. Computational investigations revealed that the regioselectivity was controlled mainly by both steric and electronic factors. Steric effects determine the regioselective outcomes in the Ru-catalyzed reaction, while electronic effects are dominant in the Pd-catalyzed reaction.

Steroids hydroxylation catalyzed by the monooxygenase mutant 139-3 from Bacillus megaterium BM3.

Project description:The search of new substrates with pharmaceutical and industrial potential for biocatalysts including cytochrome P450 enzymes is always challenging. Cytochrome P450 BM3 mutant 139-3, a versatile biocatalyst, exhibited hydroxylation activities towards fatty acids and alkanes. However, there were limited reports about its hydroxylation activity towards steroids. Herein, an Escherichia coli-based whole-cell extract containing the recombinant 139-3 protein was used as the biocatalyst to screen 13 steroids. Results revealed that 139-3 was able to specifically hydroxylate androstenedione (1) at 1?-position, generating a hydroxylated steroid 1?-OH-androstenedione (1a). To investigate whether C-1? hydroxylation catalyzed by BM3 mutant 139-3 could be industrially used, an optimization of catalyzing conditions was performed. Accordingly, the BM3 mutant 139-3 enzyme was observed to display maximum activity at 37 °C, under pH 7.0 for 4 h, with 37% transformation rate. Moreover, four 139-3 variants were generated by random mutagenesis with the aim of improving its activity and expanding substrate scope. Surprisingly, these mutants, sharing a common mutated site R379S, lost their activities towards androstenedione (1). These data clearly indicated that arginine residue located at site 379 played key role in the hydroxylation activities of 139-3. Overall, these new findings broadened the substrate scope of 139-3 enzyme, thereby expanding its potential applications as a biocatalyst on steroids hydroxylation in pharmaceutical industry.

Taming the Reactivity of Monoterpene Synthases To Guide Regioselective Product Hydroxylation.

Project description:Monoterpenoids are industrially important natural products with applications in the flavours, fragrances, fuels and pharmaceutical industries. Most monoterpenoids are produced by plants, but recently two bacterial monoterpene synthases have been identified, including a cineole synthase (bCinS). Unlike plant cineole synthases, bCinS is capable of producing nearly pure cineole from geranyl diphosphate in a complex cyclisation cascade that is tightly controlled. Here we have used a multidisciplinary approach to show that Asn305 controls water attack on the α-terpinyl cation and subsequent cyclisation and deprotonation of the α-terpineol intermediate, key steps in the cyclisation cascade which direct product formation towards cineole. Mutation of Asn305 results in variants that no longer produce α-terpineol or cineole. Molecular dynamics simulations revealed that water coordination is disrupted in all variants tested. Quantum mechanics calculations indicate that Asn305 is most likely a (transient) proton acceptor for the final deprotonation step. Our synergistic approach gives unique insight into how a single residue, Asn305, tames the promiscuous chemistry of monoterpene synthase cyclisation cascades. It does this by tightly controlling the final steps in cineole formation catalysed by bCinS to form a single hydroxylated monoterpene product.

Regioselective enzymatic carboxylation of phenols and hydroxystyrene derivatives.

Project description:The enzymatic carboxylation of phenol and styrene derivatives using (de)carboxylases in carbonate buffer proceeded in a highly regioselective fashion: Benzoic acid (de)carboxylases selectively formed o-hydroxybenzoic acid derivatives, phenolic acid (de)carboxylases selectively acted at the ?-carbon atom of styrenes forming (E)-cinnamic acids.

Enzymatic Hydroxylation and Excision of Extended 5-Methylcytosine Analogues.

Project description:Methylation of cytosine to 5-methylcytosine (mC) is a prevalent reversible epigenetic mark in vertebrates established by DNA methyltransferases (MTases); the methylation mark can be actively erased via a multi-step demethylation mechanism involving oxidation by Ten-eleven translocation (TET) enzyme family dioxygenases, excision of the latter oxidation products by thymine DNA (TDG) or Nei-like 1 (NEIL1) glycosylases followed by base excision repair to restore the unmodified state. Here we probed the activity of the mouse TET1 (mTET1) and Naegleria gruberi TET (nTET) oxygenases with DNA substrates containing extended derivatives of the 5-methylcytosine carrying linear carbon chains and adjacent unsaturated CC bonds. We found that the nTET and mTET1 enzymes were active on modified mC residues in single-stranded and double-stranded DNA in vitro, while the extent of the reactions diminished with the size of the extended group. Iterative rounds of nTET hydroxylations of ssDNA proceeded with high stereo specificity and included not only the natural alpha position but also the adjoining carbon atom in the extended side chain. The regioselectivity of hydroxylation was broken when the reactive carbon was adjoined with an sp1 or sp2 system. We also found that NEIL1 but not TDG was active with bulky TET-oxidation products. These findings provide important insights into the mechanism of these biologically important enzymatic reactions.
