Directed Evolution of a Cytochrome P450 Monooxygenase for Alkane Oxidation

Abstract: Cytochrome P450 monooxygenase BM‐3 (EC 1.14.14.1) hydroxylates fatty acids with chain lengths between C12 and C18. It is also known to oxidize the corresponding alcohols and amides. However, it is not known to oxidize alkanes. Here we report that P450 BM‐3 oxidizes octane, which is four carbons shorter and lacks the carboxylate functionality of the shortest fatty acid P450 BM‐3 is known to accept, to 4‐octanol, 3‐octanol, 2‐octanol, 4‐octanone, and 3‐octanone. The rate is much lower than for oxidation of the p… Show more

“…One of the variants contained a single point mutation of a Glu residue in the surface of the protein by a His residue. The effect of this mutation was surprising, given the fact that this residue is located relatively far from the haem group [139].…”

“…These and other properties, such as solvent tolerance, substrate versatility, and temperature spectrum, can now be improved remarkably in a targeted manner by enzyme engineering. [162] With modern genetic methods it is possible to produce several thousand mutants per day. To make it possible to screen such a large number of enzyme variants as quickly as possible, sophisticated screening systems must be developed.…”

“…[13,14] Recently cloning and characterisation of two further fusion enzymes from Bacillus subtilis, which exhibit high homology to CYP102A1, was reported. [15][16][17] While a large number of publications describing novel evolved CYP102A1 mutants with altered substrate specificity exist, [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] there are only very few reports dealing with the use of these biocatalysts in preparative organic synthesis. [7,27] Beside strong doubts concerning the operational stability of the enzyme class, the high cost of the nicotinamide cofactor NADPH which has to be added in stochiometric or even higher amount (if uncoupling is taken into account) seems to make their in vitro application impractical.…”
