Unspecific peroxygenases (UPO, EC 1.11.2.1) are a valuable tool for the biocatalytic synthesis of specialty chemicals such as pharmaceutical metabolites. However, the search for new UPOs that are recombinantly expressible can be tedious and dependent on expensive equipment, especially when a large number of clones has to be examined. In this study, we present a simple agar plate-based method for the screening of active, secreted UPOs heterologously expressed in . This allows a real high-throughput of several thousand clones at once. The approach was successfully tested with a small gene library comprising putative UPO genes and resulted in the identification of two clones producing short UPOs from the filamentous fungi (UPO) and (UPO). Both UPOs were partly purified and characterized with respect to their catalytic properties. With differing efficiencies and product specificities, they catalyzed the formation of human drug metabolites, e.g., lipid mediators from polyunsaturated fatty acids and the active metabolite of the prodrug clopidogrel, respectively.
非特异性过氧酶(UPO,EC 1.11.2.1)是生物催化合成特殊化学品(如药物代谢物)的一种有价值的工具。然而,寻找可重组表达的新型UPO可能很繁琐,且依赖昂贵的设备,尤其是当必须检测大量克隆时。在本研究中,我们提出了一种基于琼脂平板的简单方法,用于筛选在[具体表达宿主未给出]中异源表达的活性分泌型UPO。这使得能够一次性对数千个克隆进行真正的高通量筛选。该方法已用一个包含假定UPO基因的小基因文库成功测试,并鉴定出两个分别来自丝状真菌[具体真菌名称未给出](UPO)和[具体真菌名称未给出](UPO)的产生短UPO的克隆。两种UPO都进行了部分纯化,并对其催化特性进行了表征。它们以不同的效率和产物特异性催化了人类药物代谢物的形成,例如分别从多不饱和脂肪酸催化生成脂质介质以及前药氯吡格雷的活性代谢物。
