Abstract
Aminopyrrolnitrin (APRN), a natural halogenated phenylpyrrole derivative (HPD), has strong antifungal and antiparasitic activities. Additionally, it showed 2.8-fold increased photostability compared to pyrrolnitrin, a commercially available HPD with antimicrobial activity. For microbial production of APRN, we first engineered anthranilate phosphoribosyltransferase encoded by trpD from Corynebacterium glutamicum, resulting in a TrpDA162D mutation that exhibits feedback-resistant against L-tryptophan and higher substrate affinity compared to wild-type TrpD. Plasmid-borne expression of trpDA162D in C. glutamicum TP851 strain with two copies of trpDA162D in the genome led to the production of 3.1 g/L L-tryptophan in flask culture. Subsequent step for L-tryptophan chlorination into 7-chloro-L-tryptophan was achieved by introducing diverse sources of genes encoding tryptophan 7-halogenase (PrnA or RebH) and flavin reductase (Fre, PrnF, or RebF). The combined expression of prnA from Serratia grimesii or Serratia plymuthica with flavin reductase gene from Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas fluorescens, or Lechevalieria aerocolonigenes yielded higher production of 7-chloro-L-tryptophan in comparison to other sets of two-component systems. In the next step, production of putative monodechloroaminopyrrolnitrin (MDAP) from 7-chloro-L-tryptophan was achieved through the expression of prnB encoding MDAP synthase from S. plymuthica or P. fluorescens. Finally, an artificial APRN biosynthetic pathway was constructed by simultaneously expressing genes coding for tryptophan 7-halogenase, flavin reductase, MDAP synthase, and MDAP halogenase (PrnC) from different microbial sources within the L-tryptophan-producing TP851 strain. As prnC from S. grimesii or S. plymuthica was introduced into the host strain, which carried plasmids expressing prnA from S. plymuthica, fre from E. coli, and prnB from S. plymuthica, APN3639 and APN3638 accumulated 29.5 mg/L and 28.1 mg/L of APRN in the culture broth. This study represents the first report on the fermentative APRN production by metabolically engineered C. glutamicum.

Abstract
The halogenase-based catalysis is one of the most environmentally friendly methods for the synthesis of halogenated products, among which flavin-dependent halogenases (FDHs) have attracted great interest as one of the most promising biocatalysts due to the remarkable site-selectivity and wide substrate range. However, the complexity of constructing the NAD+-NADH-FAD-FADH2 bicoenzyme cycle system has affected the engineering applications of FDHs. In this work, a coenzyme self-sufficient tri-enzyme fusion was constructed and successfully applied to the continuous halogenation of L-tryptophan. SpFDH was firstly identified derived from Streptomyces pratensis, a highly selective halogenase capable of generating 6-chloro-tryptophan from tryptophan. Then, using gene fusion technology, SpFDH was fused with glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) and flavin reductase (FR) to form a tri-enzyme fusion, which increased the yield by 1.46-fold and making the coenzymes self-sufficient. For more efficient halogenation of L-tryptophan, a continuous halogenation bioprocess of L-tryptophan was developed by immobilizing the tri-enzyme fusion and attaching it to a continuous catalytic device, which resulted in a reaction yield of 97.6% after 12 h reaction. An FDH from S. pratensis was successfully applied in the halogenation and our study provides a concise strategy for the preparation of halogenated tryptophan mediated by multienzyme cascade catalysis.

Abstract
Considering the wide occurrence and extensive application of organic chlorides in many research fields, the development of easy, practical and green chlorination methodologies is much needed. In the oxidative chlorination strategy, active chlorinating species can be in situ formed by the interaction of easily accessible chlorides such as NaCl, HCl, KCl, CHCl3, etc. and suitable oxidants. Among the established chlorination approaches, this strategy is an attractive one as it features the use of readily available, cheap and safe inorganic or organic chlorides, good atom economy of chlorine, and multiple choices of oxidants. This review summarizes the representative methodologies in the field of oxidative chlorination, covering 2013 to 2023.

Abstract
Flavin-dependent halogenases have attracted increasing interest for aryl halogenation at unactivated C-H positions because they are characterised by high regioselectivity, while requiring only FADH2 , halide salts, and O2 . Their use in combined crosslinked enzyme aggregates (combiCLEAs) together with an NADH-dependent flavin reductase and an NADH-regeneration system for the preparative halogenation of tryptophan and indole derivatives has been previously described. However, multiple cultivations and protein purification steps are necessary for their production. We present a bifunctional regeneration enzyme for two-step catalytic flavin regeneration using phosphite as an inexpensive sacrificial substrate. This fusion protein proved amenable to co-expression with various flavin-dependent Trp-halogenases and enables carrier-free immobilisation as combiCLEAs from a single cultivation for protein production and the preparative synthesis of halotryptophan. The scalability of this system was demonstrated by fed-batch fermentation in bench-top bioreactors on a 2.5 L scale. Furthermore, the inclusion of a 6-halotryptophan-specific dioxygenase into the co-expression strain further converts the halogenation product to the kynurenine derivative. This reaction cascade enables the one-pot synthesis of l-4-Cl-kynurenine and its brominated analogue on a preparative scale.

Abstract
Oxidative functionalization of indoles is one of the most widely used approaches to exploit the synthetic utility of indoles. In continuation of our research interest in the green oxidation of indoles, we further explore the oxidation of indoles with oxone-halide and discover that the protecting group on the nitrogen of indoles plays a decisive role in controlling the pathways of indole oxidation with oxone-halide. An electron-withdrawing group on the nitrogen of indoles (N-EWG) enables C2 halogenation with stoichiometric halide, while C3 halogenation could be selectively achieved by using stoichiometric halide without dependence on the electronic property of the protecting group on the indole nitrogen. Different from our previous results obtained by using catalytic halide, these findings lead to the development of an environmentally friendly, efficient, and mild protocol for access to 2- or 3-haloindoles (chloro and bromo). As compared to the previous synthetic methods for 2-/3-haloindoles, our method exploits the in situ-generated reactive halogenating species from oxone-halide for halogenation of indoles and thus eliminates the use of stoichiometric halogenating agents and the production of toxic and hazardous organic byproducts derived from oxidants.

Abstract
RadH is one of the flavin-dependent halogenases that has previously exhibited promising catalytic activity towards hydroxycoumarin, hydroxyisoquinoline, and phenolic derivatives. Here, we evaluated new functional homologs of RadH and expanded its specificities for the halogenation of non-tryptophan-derived, heterocyclic scaffolds. Our investigation revealed that RadH could effectively halogenate hydroxyquinoline and hydroxybenzothiophene. Assay optimization studies revealed the need to balance the various co-factor concentrations and where a GDHi co-factor recycling system most significantly improves the conversion and efficiency of the reaction. A crystal structure of RadH was also obtained with a resolution of 2.4 Å, and docking studies were conducted to pinpoint the binding and catalytic sites for substrates.

How Is Substrate Halogenation Triggered by the Vanadium Haloperoxidase from Curvularia inaequalis? ACS Catal 2023; 13:8247-8261.

Abstract
Vanadium haloperoxidases (VHPOs) are unique enzymes in biology that catalyze a challenging halogen transfer reaction and convert a strong aromatic C-H bond into C-X (X = Cl, Br, I) with the use of a vanadium cofactor and H2O2. The VHPO catalytic cycle starts with the conversion of hydrogen peroxide and halide (X = Cl, Br, I) into hypohalide on the vanadate cofactor, and the hypohalide subsequently reacts with a substrate. However, it is unclear whether the hypohalide is released from the enzyme or otherwise trapped within the enzyme structure for the halogenation of organic substrates. A substrate-binding pocket has never been identified for the VHPO enzyme, which questions the role of the protein in the overall reaction mechanism. Probing its role in the halogenation of small molecules will enable further engineering of the enzyme and expand its substrate scope and selectivity further for use in biotechnological applications as an environmentally benign alternative to current organic chemistry synthesis. Using a combined experimental and computational approach, we elucidate the role of the vanadium haloperoxidase protein in substrate halogenation. Activity studies show that binding of the substrate to the enzyme is essential for the reaction of the hypohalide with substrate. Stopped-flow measurements demonstrate that the rate-determining step is not dependent on substrate binding but partially on hypohalide formation. Using a combination of molecular mechanics (MM) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, the substrate binding area in the protein is identified and even though the selected substrates (methylphenylindole and 2-phenylindole) have limited hydrogen-bonding abilities, they are found to bind relatively strongly and remain stable in a binding tunnel. A subsequent analysis of the MD snapshots characterizes two small tunnels leading from the vanadate active site to the surface that could fit small molecules such as hypohalide, halide, and hydrogen peroxide. Density functional theory studies using electric field effects show that a polarized environment in a specific direction can substantially lower barriers for halogen transfer. A further analysis of the protein structure indeed shows a large dipole orientation in the substrate-binding pocket that could enable halogen transfer through an applied local electric field. These findings highlight the importance of the enzyme in catalyzing substrate halogenation by providing an optimal environment to lower the energy barrier for this challenging aromatic halide insertion reaction.

Abstract
The indole scaffold is a recurring structure in multiple bioactive heterocycles and natural products. Substituted indoles like the amino acid tryptophan serve as a precursor for a wide range of natural products with pharmaceutical or agrochemical applications. Inspired by the versatility of these compounds, medicinal chemists have for decades exploited indole as a core structure in the drug discovery process. With the aim of tuning the properties of lead drug candidates, regioselective halogenation of the indole scaffold is a common strategy. However, chemical halogenation is generally expensive, has a poor atom economy, lacks regioselectivity, and generates hazardous waste streams. As an alternative, in this work we engineer the industrial workhorse Saccharomyces cerevisiae for the de novo production of halogenated tryptophan and tryptamine derivatives. Functional expression of bacterial tryptophan halogenases together with a partner flavin reductase and a tryptophan decarboxylase resulted in the production of halogenated tryptophan and tryptamine with chlorine or bromine. Furthermore, by combining tryptophan halogenases, production of di-halogenated molecules was also achieved. Overall, this works paves the road for the production of new-to-nature halogenated natural products in yeast.

Abstract
The present volume is the third in a trilogy that documents naturally occurring organohalogen compounds, bringing the total number-from fewer than 25 in 1968-to approximately 8000 compounds to date. Nearly all of these natural products contain chlorine or bromine, with a few containing iodine and, fewer still, fluorine. Produced by ubiquitous marine (algae, sponges, corals, bryozoa, nudibranchs, fungi, bacteria) and terrestrial organisms (plants, fungi, bacteria, insects, higher animals) and universal abiotic processes (volcanos, forest fires, geothermal events), organohalogens pervade the global ecosystem. Newly identified extraterrestrial sources are also documented. In addition to chemical structures, biological activity, biohalogenation, biodegradation, natural function, and future outlook are presented.

Abstract
Biocatalytic C-H halogenation is becoming increasingly attractive due to excellent catalyst-controlled selectivity and environmentally benign reaction conditions. Significant efforts have been made on enzymatic halogenation of industrial arenes in a cost-effective manner. Here we report an unprecedented enzymatic halogenation of a panel of industrially important indole, azaindole and anthranilamide derivatives using a thermostable RebH variant without addition of any external flavin reductase enzyme. The reactions were catalyzed by the RebH variant 3-LSR enzyme with the help of a co-purified E. coli reductase identified as alkyl hydroperoxide reductase F (AhpF).

Abstract
![]()
Nonheme iron halogenases
are unique enzymes in nature that selectively
activate an aliphatic C–H bond of a substrate to convert it
into C–X (X = Cl/Br, but not F/I). It is proposed that they
generate an FeIII(OH)(X) intermediate in their catalytic
cycle. The analogous FeIII(OH) intermediate in nonheme
iron hydroxylases transfers OH• to give alcohol
product, whereas the halogenases transfer X• to
the carbon radical substrate. There remains significant debate regarding
what factors control their remarkable selectivity of the halogenases.
The reactivity of the complexes FeIII(BNPAPh2O)(OH)(X) (X = Cl, Br) with a secondary carbon radical (R•) is described. It is found that X• transfer occurs
with a secondary carbon radical, as opposed to OH• transfer with tertiary radicals. Comprehensive computational studies
involving density functional theory were carried out to examine the
possible origins of this selectivity. The calculations reproduce the
experimental findings, which indicate that halogen transfer is not
observed for the tertiary radicals because of a nonproductive equilibrium
that results from the endergonic nature of these reactions, despite
a potentially lower reaction barrier for the halogenation pathway.
In contrast, halogen transfer is favored for secondary carbon radicals,
for which the halogenated product complex is thermodynamically more
stable than the reactant complex. These results are rationalized by
considering the relative strengths of the C–X bonds that are
formed for tertiary versus secondary carbon centers. The computational
analysis also shows that the reaction barrier for halogen transfer
is significantly dependent on secondary coordination sphere effects,
including steric and H-bonding interactions.

Abstract
The development of peptide stapling techniques to stabilise α-helical secondary structure motifs of peptides led to the design of modulators of protein–protein interactions, which had been considered undruggable for a long time. We disclose a novel approach towards peptide stapling utilising macrocyclisation by late-stage Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling of bromotryptophan-containing peptides of the catenin-binding domain of axin. Optimisation of the linker length in order to find a compromise between both sufficient linker rigidity and flexibility resulted in a peptide with an increased α-helicity and enhanced binding affinity to its native binding partner β-catenin. An increased proteolytic stability against proteinase K has been demonstrated.

Abstract
The direct functionalization of C-H bonds constitutes a powerful strategy to construct and diversify organic molecules. However, controlling the chemo- and site-selectivity of this transformation in particularly complex molecular settings represents a significant challenge. Metalloenzymes are ideal platforms for achieving catalyst-controlled selective C-H bond functionalization as their reactivities can be tuned by protein engineering and/or redesign of their cofactor environment. In this review, we highlight recent progress in the development of engineered and artificial metalloenzymes for C-H functionalization, with a focus on biocatalytic strategies for selective C-H oxyfunctionalization and halogenation as well as C-H amination and C-H carbene insertion via abiological nitrene and carbene transfer chemistries. Engineered heme- and non-heme iron dependent enzymes have emerged as promising scaffolds for executing these transformations with high chemo-, regio- and stereocontrol as well as tunable selectivity. These emerging systems and methodologies have expanded the toolbox of sustainable strategies for organic synthesis and created new opportunities for the generation of chiral building blocks, the late-stage C-H functionalization of complex molecules, and the total synthesis of natural products.

Abstract
Activating industrially important aromatic hydrocarbons by installing halogen atoms is extremely important in organic synthesis and often improves the pharmacological properties of drug molecules. To this end, tryptophan halogenase enzymes are potentially valuable tools for regioselective halogenation of arenes, including various industrially important indole derivatives and similar scaffolds. Although endogenous enzymes show reasonable substrate scope towards indole compounds, their efficacy can often be improved by engineering. Using a structure-guided semi-rational mutagenesis approach, we have developed two RebH variants with expanded biocatalytic repertoires that can efficiently halogenate several novel indole substrates and produce important pharmaceutical intermediates. Interestingly, the engineered enzymes are completely inactive towards their natural substrate tryptophan in spite of their high tolerance to various functional groups in the indole ring. Computational modelling and molecular dynamics simulations provide mechanistic insights into the role of gatekeeper residues in the substrate binding site and the dramatic switch in substrate specificity when these are mutated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Halogenation is a recurring feature in natural products, especially those from marine organisms. The selectivity with which halogenating enzymes act on their substrates renders halogenases interesting targets for biocatalyst development. Recently, CylC - the first predicted dimetal-carboxylate halogenase to be characterized - was shown to regio- and stereoselectively install a chlorine atom onto an unactivated carbon center during cylindrocyclophane biosynthesis. Homologs of CylC are also found in other characterized cyanobacterial secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters. Due to its novelty in biological catalysis, selectivity and ability to perform C-H activation, this halogenase class is of considerable fundamental and applied interest. The study of CylC-like enzymes will provide insights into substrate scope, mechanism and catalytic partners, and will also enable engineering these biocatalysts for similar or additional C-H activating functions. Still, little is known regarding the diversity and distribution of these enzymes. RESULTS In this study, we used both genome mining and PCR-based screening to explore the genetic diversity of CylC homologs and their distribution in bacteria. While we found non-cyanobacterial homologs of these enzymes to be rare, we identified a large number of genes encoding CylC-like enzymes in publicly available cyanobacterial genomes and in our in-house culture collection of cyanobacteria. Genes encoding CylC homologs are widely distributed throughout the cyanobacterial tree of life, within biosynthetic gene clusters of distinct architectures (combination of unique gene groups). These enzymes are found in a variety of biosynthetic contexts, which include fatty-acid activating enzymes, type I or type III polyketide synthases, dialkylresorcinol-generating enzymes, monooxygenases or Rieske proteins. Our study also reveals that dimetal-carboxylate halogenases are among the most abundant types of halogenating enzymes in the phylum Cyanobacteria. CONCLUSIONS Our data show that dimetal-carboxylate halogenases are widely distributed throughout the Cyanobacteria phylum and that BGCs encoding CylC homologs are diverse and mostly uncharacterized. This work will help guide the search for new halogenating biocatalysts and natural product scaffolds.

Abstract
Halogen substituents often lead to a profound effect on the biological activity of organic compounds. Flavin-dependent halogenases offer the possibility of regioselective halogenation at non-activated carbon atoms, while employing only halide salts and molecular oxygen. However, low enzyme activity, instability, and narrow substrate scope compromise the use of enzymatic halogenation as an economical and environmentally friendly process. To overcome these drawbacks, it is of tremendous interest to identify novel halogenases with high enzymatic activity and novel substrate scopes. Previously, Neubauer et al. developed a new hidden Markov model (pHMM) based on the PFAM tryptophan halogenase model, and identified 254 complete and partial putative flavin-dependent halogenase genes in eleven metagenomic data sets. In the present study, the pHMM was used to screen the bacterial associates of the Botryococcus braunii consortia (PRJEB21978), leading to the identification of several putative, flavin-dependent halogenase genes. Two of these new halogenase genes were found in one gene cluster of the Botryococcus braunii symbiont Sphingomonas sp. In vitro activity tests revealed that both heterologously expressed enzymes are active flavin-dependent halogenases able to halogenate indole and indole derivatives, as well as phenol derivatives, while preferring bromination over chlorination. Interestingly, SpH1 catalyses only monohalogenation, while SpH2 can catalyse both mono- and dihalogenation for some substrates.

Abstract
As methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is becoming a serious pathogenic threaten to human health worldwide, there is an urgent need to discover new antibiotics for the treatment of MRSA infections. Alboflavusins (AFNs) are a group of halogenated cyclohexapeptides with anti-MRSA activities. In this study, two novel brominated AFN congeners (compounds 1 and 2) were isolated from the wild-type strain Streptomyces alboflavus sp. 313 that was fermented in the production medium supplemented with NaBr; two new (compounds 3 and 5) and a known (compound 4) dehelogenated AFN congeners were isolated from S. alboflavus ΔafnX, in which the tryptophan halogenase gene afnX was inactivated. The structures of these compounds were assigned by careful NMR and MS analyses. The anti-MRSA activities of varied AFN congeners were assessed against different MRSA strains, which revealed that compounds 1 and 2 with bromine displayed effective activities against the tested MRSA strains. Especially, compound 2 showed good anti-MRSA activity, while compounds 3, 4, and 5 without halogen exhibited weak anti-MRSA activities, outlining the influence of halogen substitution to the bioactivities of AFNs.

Abstract
Flavoprotein monooxygenases (FPMOs) are single- or two-component enzymes that catalyze a diverse set of chemo-, regio- and enantioselective oxyfunctionalization reactions. In this review, we describe how FPMOs have evolved from model enzymes in mechanistic flavoprotein research to biotechnologically relevant catalysts that can be applied for the sustainable production of valuable chemicals. After a historical account of the development of the FPMO field, we explain the FPMO classification system, which is primarily based on protein structural properties and electron donor specificities. We then summarize the most appealing reactions catalyzed by each group with a focus on the different types of oxygenation chemistries. Wherever relevant, we report engineering strategies that have been used to improve the robustness and applicability of FPMOs.

Abstract
An array of l- and d-halotryptophans with different substituents at the indole moiety was synthesized employing either enzymatic halogenation by halogenases or incorporation of haloindoles using tryptophan synthase. Introduction of these Trp derivatives into RGD peptides as a benchmark system was performed to investigate their influence on bioactivity. Halotryptophan-containing RGD peptides display increased affinity toward integrin αvβ3 and enhanced selectivity over integrin α5β1. In addition, bromotryptophan was exploited as a platform for late-stage diversification by Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling (SMC), resulting in new-to-nature biaryl motifs. These peptides show enhanced affinity toward αvβ3, good affinity to αvβ8, and remarkable selectivity over α5β1 and αIIbβ3 while featuring fluorogenic properties. Their feasibility as a probe was demonstrated in vitro. Extensive molecular dynamics simulations were undertaken to elucidate NMR and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) data for these late-stage diversified cyclic RGD peptides and to further characterize their conformational preferences.

Abstract
Flavoenzymes catalyze oxidations via hydroperoxide intermediates that result from activation of molecular O2. These reactions—such as hydroxylation and halogenation—depend on the additional catalytic activity of functional groups in the peptide environment of the flavin cofactor. We report synthetic flavin catalysts that contain C6 amino modifications at the isoalloxazine core and are consequently capable of mediating halogenations outside the peptide surrounding. The catalysts are competent in the selective, biomimetic bromination of oxidation‐prone phenols, flavones, and flavanones using a halide salt in combination with 2,6‐lutidinium oxalate as a flavin reductant under visible‐light irradiation. Our studies show the beneficial effect of stacked bisflavins as well as the catalytic activity of the flavin modifications. The designed flavin catalysts outperform isolated natural (−)‐riboflavin and contribute to the continuing search for tailored flavins in oxidation reactions.

Abstract
The recently described flavin-dependent halogenase BrvH is able to catalyse both the bromination and chlorination of indole, but shows significantly higher bromination activity. BrvH was annotated as a tryptophan halogenase, but does not accept tryptophan as a substrate. Its native substrate remains unknown. A predictive model with the data available for BrvH was analysed. A training set of compounds tested in vitro was docked into the active site of a complete protein model based on the X-ray structure of BrvH. The atoms not resolved experimentally were modelled by using molecular mechanics force fields to obtain this protein model. Furthermore, docking poses for the substrates and known non-substrates have been calculated. Parameters like distance, partial charge and hybridization state were analysed to derive rules for predicting activity. With this model for activity of the BrvH, a virtual screening suggested several structures for potential substrates. Some of the compounds preselected in this way were tested in vitro, and several could be verified as convertible substrates. Based on information on halogenated natural products, a new dataset was created to specifically search for natural products as substrates/products, and virtual screening in this database yielded further hits.

Abstract
Mild reaction conditions are highly desirable for bio‐orthogonal side chain derivatizations of amino acids, peptides or proteins due to the sensitivity of these substrates. Transition metal catalysed cross‐couplings such as Suzuki–Miyaura reactions are highly versatile, but usually require unfavourable reaction conditions, in particular, when applied with aryl bromides. Ligand‐free solvent‐stabilised Pd‐nanoparticles represent an efficient and sustainable alternative to conventional phosphine‐based catalysts, because the cross‐coupling can be performed at considerably lower temperature. We report on the application of such a highly reactive heterogeneous catalyst for the Suzuki–Miyaura cross‐coupling of brominated tryptophan derivatives. The solvent‐stabilised Pd‐nanoparticles are even more efficient than the literature‐known ADHP‐Pd precatalyst. Interestingly, the latter also leads to the formation of quasi‐homogeneous Pd‐nanoparticles as the catalytic species. One advantage of our approach is the compatibility with aqueous and aerobic conditions at near‐ambient temperatures and short reaction times of only 2 h. The influence of different Nα‐protecting groups, boronic acids as well as the impact of different amino acid side chains in bromotryptophan‐containing peptides has been studied. Notably, a surprising acceleration of the catalysis was observed when palladium‐coordinating side chains were present in proximal positions.

Abstract
Plants produce some of the most potent therapeutics and have been used for thousands of years to treat human diseases. Today, many medicinal natural products are still extracted from source plants at scale as their complexity precludes total synthesis from bulk chemicals. However, extraction from plants can be an unreliable and low-yielding source for human therapeutics, making the supply chain for some of these life-saving medicines expensive and unstable. There has therefore been significant interest in refactoring these plant pathways in genetically tractable microbes, which grow more reliably and where the plant pathways can be more easily engineered to improve the titer, rate and yield of medicinal natural products. In addition, refactoring plant biosynthetic pathways in microbes also offers the possibility to explore new-to-nature chemistry more systematically, and thereby help expand the chemical space that can be probed for drugs as well as enable the study of pharmacological properties of such new-to-nature chemistry. This perspective will review the recent progress toward heterologous production of plant medicinal alkaloids in microbial systems. In particular, we focus on the refactoring of halogenated alkaloids in yeast, which has created an unprecedented opportunity for biosynthesis of previously inaccessible new-to-nature variants of the natural alkaloid scaffolds.

Abstract
Within the marine sphere, host-associated microbiomes are receiving growing attention as prolific sources of novel biocatalysts. Given the known biocatalytic potential of poriferan microbial inhabitants, this review focuses on enzymes from the sponge microbiome, with special attention on their relevant properties and the wide range of their potential biotechnological applications within various industries. Cultivable bacterial and filamentous fungal isolates account for the majority of the enzymatic sources. Hydrolases, mainly glycoside hydrolases and carboxylesterases, are the predominant reported group of enzymes, with varying degrees of tolerance to alkaline pH and growing salt concentrations being common. Prospective areas for the application of these microbial enzymes include biorefinery, detergent, food and effluent treatment industries. Finally, alternative strategies to identify novel biocatalysts from the sponge microbiome are addressed, with an emphasis on modern -omics-based approaches that are currently available in the enzyme research arena. By providing this current overview of the field, we hope to not only increase the appetite of researchers to instigate forthcoming studies but also to stress how basic and applied research can pave the way for new biocatalysts from these symbiotic microbial communities in a productive fashion. KEY POINTS: • The sponge microbiome is a burgeoning source of industrial biocatalysts. • Sponge microbial enzymes have useful habitat-related traits for several industries. • Strategies are provided for the future discovery of microbial enzymes from sponges.

Abstract
Site-selective functionalization of arenes that is complementary to classical aromatic substitution reactions remains a long-standing quest in organic synthesis. Exploiting the generation of halenium ion through oxidative process and the protonation of the nitrogen containing function in HF/SbF5 , the chlorination and iodination of classically inert Csp2 -H bonds of aromatic amines occurs. Furthermore, the superacid-promoted (poly)protonation of the molecules acts as a protection, favoring the late-stage selective halogenation of natural alkaloids and active pharmaceutical ingredients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Flavonoid is a family of compounds present in the everyday consumption plants and fruits, contributing to a balanced diet and beneficial health effects. Being a scaffold for new drugs and presenting a wide range of applicability in the treatment of illnesses give them also an impact in medicine. Among the several types of flavonoids, flavone and isoflavone derivatives can be highlighted due to their prevalence in nature and biological activities already established. The standard synthetic route to obtain both halogenated flavones and isoflavones is through the use of already halogenated starting materials. Halogenation of the flavone and isoflavone core is less common because it is more complicated and involves some selectivity issues. OBJECTIVE Considering the importance of these flavonoids, we aim to present the main and more recent synthetic approaches towards their halogenation. METHODS The most prominent methodologies for the synthesis of halogenated flavones and isoflavones were reviewed. A careful survey of the reported data, using mainly the Scopus database and halogenation, flavones and isoflavones as keywords, was conducted. RESULTS Herein, a review is provided on the latest and more efficient halogenation protocols of flavones and isoflavones. Selective halogenation and the greener methodologies, including enzymatic and microbial halogenations, were reported. Nevertheless, some interesting protocols that allowed the synthesis of halogenated flavone and isoflavone derivatives in specific positions using halogenated reagents are also summarized. CONCLUSION Halogenated flavones and isoflavones have risen as noticeable structures; however, most of the time, the synthetic procedures involve toxic reagents and harsh reaction conditions. Therefore, the development of new synthetic routes with low environmental impact is desirable.

One Pot Use of Combilipases for Full Modification of Oils and Fats: Multifunctional and Heterogeneous Substrates. Catalysts 2020.

Abstract
Lipases are among the most utilized enzymes in biocatalysis. In many instances, the main reason for their use is their high specificity or selectivity. However, when full modification of a multifunctional and heterogeneous substrate is pursued, enzyme selectivity and specificity become a problem. This is the case of hydrolysis of oils and fats to produce free fatty acids or their alcoholysis to produce biodiesel, which can be considered cascade reactions. In these cases, to the original heterogeneity of the substrate, the presence of intermediate products, such as diglycerides or monoglycerides, can be an additional drawback. Using these heterogeneous substrates, enzyme specificity can promote that some substrates (initial substrates or intermediate products) may not be recognized as such (in the worst case scenario they may be acting as inhibitors) by the enzyme, causing yields and reaction rates to drop. To solve this situation, a mixture of lipases with different specificity, selectivity and differently affected by the reaction conditions can offer much better results than the use of a single lipase exhibiting a very high initial activity or even the best global reaction course. This mixture of lipases from different sources has been called “combilipases” and is becoming increasingly popular. They include the use of liquid lipase formulations or immobilized lipases. In some instances, the lipases have been coimmobilized. Some discussion is offered regarding the problems that this coimmobilization may give rise to, and some strategies to solve some of these problems are proposed. The use of combilipases in the future may be extended to other processes and enzymes.

Abstract
Pd-mediated reactions have emerged as a powerful tool for the site-selective and bioorthogonal late-stage diversification of amino acids, peptides and related compounds. Indole moieties of tryptophan derivatives are susceptible to C2 H-activation, whereas halogenated aromatic amino acids such as halophenylalanines or halotryptophans provide a broad spectrum of different functionalisations. The compatibility of transition-metal-catalysed cross-couplings with functional groups in peptides, other biologically active compounds and even proteins has been demonstrated. This Review primarily compiles the application of different cross-coupling reactions to modify halotryptophans, halotryptophan containing peptides or halogenated, biologically active compounds derived from tryptophan. Modern approaches use regio- and stereoselective biocatalytic strategies to generate halotryptophans and derivatives on a preparative scale. The combination of bio- and chemocatalysis in cascade reactions is given by the biocompatibility and bioorthogonality of Pd-mediated reactions.

Abstract
Tryptophan halogenases are found in diverse organisms and catalyze regiospecific halogenation. They play an important role in the biosynthesis of halogenated indole alkaloids, which are biologically active and of therapeutic importance. Here, a tryptophan 6-halogenase (SatH) from Streptomyces albus was characterized by using a whole-cell reaction system in Escherichia coli. SatH showed substrate specificity for chloride and bromide ions, leading to regiospecific halogenation at the C6-position of l-tryptophan. In addition, SatH exhibited higher performance in bromination than that of previously reported tryptophan halogenases in the whole-cell reaction system. Through structure-based protein mutagenesis, it has been revealed that two consecutive residues, A78/V79 in SatH and G77/I78 in PyrH, are key determinants in the regioselectivity difference between tryptophan 6- and 5-halogenases. Substituting the AV with GI residues switched the regioselectivity of SatH by moving the orientation of tryptophan. These data contribute to an understanding of the key residues that determine the regioselectivity of tryptophan halogenases.
