Cytochrome P450 BM-3 from Bacillus megaterium was engineered using a combination of directed evolution and site-directed mutagenesis to hydroxylate linear alkanes regio- and enantioselectively using atmospheric dioxygen as an oxidant. BM-3 variant 9-10A-A328V hydroxylates octane at the 2-position to form S-2-octanol (40% ee). Another variant, 1-12G, also hydroxylates alkanes larger than hexane primarily at the 2-position but forms R-2-alcohols (40-55% ee). These biocatalysts are highly active (rates up to 400 min(-1)) and support thousands of product turnovers. The regio- and enantioselectivities are retained in whole-cell biotransformations with Escherichia coli, where the engineered P450s can be expressed at high levels and the cofactor is supplied endogenously.
利用定向进化和定点诱变相结合的方法,对巨大芽孢杆菌的细胞色素P450 BM-3进行改造,使其能够以大气中的氧气作为氧化剂,对直链烷烃进行区域选择性和对映选择性羟基化反应。BM-3变体9-10A-A328V在2-位将辛烷羟基化,形成S-2-辛醇(对映体过量40%)。另一个变体1-12G也主要在2-位将大于己烷的烷烃羟基化,但形成R-2-醇(对映体过量40-55%)。这些生物催化剂具有高活性(速率高达400 min⁻¹),并支持数千次产物转化。在大肠杆菌的全细胞生物转化中,区域选择性和对映选择性得以保留,在这种情况下,改造后的P450能够高水平表达,并且辅因子由内源性提供。
