NADH/NADPH bi-cofactor-utilizing and thermoactive ketol-acid reductoisomerase from Sulfolobus acidocaldarius

Abstract: Ketol-acid reductoisomerase (KARI) is a bifunctional enzyme in the second step of branched-chain amino acids biosynthetic pathway. Most KARIs prefer NADPH as a cofactor. However, KARI with a preference for NADH is desirable in industrial applications including anaerobic fermentation for the production of branched-chain amino acids or biofuels. Here, we characterize a thermoacidophilic archaeal Sac-KARI from Sulfolobus acidocaldarius and present its crystal structure at a 1.75-Å resolution. By comparison with o… Show more

“…The mechanism of how BCAA concentration is increased by Halanaerobium can be explained by the enzymatic character of ketol-acid reductoisomerase (KARI). KARI is a key enzyme in the Ile and Leu/Val biosynthetic pathways ( Chen et al, 2018 ) and is known to use NADPH as a coenzyme ( Fig. S2 ).…”

“…KARIs are structurally composed of an N-terminal Rossmann domain and a Cterminal "knot" domain [1,7]. They can be distinguished in two classes: the short class I gathering dimeric and dodecameric enzymes, and the monomeric or tetrameric longer class II KARIs [1,[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. Prokaryotes can harbour class I or II enzymes, while eukaryotes only contain class II.…”

“…13 CRs have been successfully applied industrially for the synthesis of various chiral alcohols. However, the industrial potential of CRs was largely restricted by the cofactor regeneration efficiency and the expensive price of the cofactor NAD(P)H. [14][15][16] In situ cofactor regeneration is considered essential for the economic viability of industrial scale biotransformation. Kizaki In our previous study, a recombinant carbonyl reductase CR125 was obtained from Lactobacillus kefiri to catalyze 150 g/L ET-4 to (S)-ET-5 with the conversion of 99.1% and the e.e.…”
