Abstract
Catechols have important applications in the pharmaceutical, food, cosmetic, and functional material industries. 4-hydroxyphenylacetate-3-hydroxylase (4HPA3H), a two-component enzyme system comprising HpaB (monooxygenase) and HpaC (FAD oxidoreductase), demonstrates significant potential for catechol production because it can be easily expressed, is highly active, and exhibits ortho-hydroxylation activity toward a broad spectrum of phenol substrates. HpaB determines the ortho-hydroxylation efficiency and substrate spectrum of the enzyme; therefore, studying its structure-activity relationship, improving its properties, and developing a robust HpaB-conducting system are of significance and value; indeed, considerable efforts have been made in these areas in recent decades. Here, we review the classification, molecular structure, catalytic mechanism, primary efforts in protein engineering, and industrial applications of HpaB in catechol synthesis. Current trends in the further investigation of HpaB are also discussed.

Molecules 2023; 28:5602. [PMID: 37513473 PMCID: PMC10384689 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28145602] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2023] [Revised: 07/16/2023] [Accepted: 07/20/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
4-Hydroxyphenylacetate-3-hydroxylase (4HPA3H; EC 1.14.14.9) is a heterodimeric flavin-dependent monooxygenase complex that catalyzes the ortho-hydroxylation of resveratrol to produce piceatannol. Piceatannol has various health benefits and valuable applications in food, medicine, and cosmetics. Enhancing the catalytic activity of 4HPA3H toward resveratrol has the potential to benefit piceatannol production. In this study, the critical amino acid residues in the substrate pocket of 4HPA3H that affect its activity toward resveratrol were identified using semi-rational engineering. Two key amino acid sites (I157 and A211) were discovered and the simultaneous "best" mutant I157L/A211D enabled catalytic efficiency (Kcat/Km-resveratrol) to increase by a factor of 4.7-fold. Molecular dynamics simulations indicated that the increased flexibility of the 4HPA3H substrate pocket has the potential to improve the catalytic activity of the enzyme toward resveratrol. On this basis, we produced 3.78 mM piceatannol by using the mutant I157L/A211D whole cells. In this study, we successfully developed a highly active 4HPA3H variant for the hydroxylation of resveratrol to piceatannol.

Abstract
The hydroxylation is an important way to generate the functionalized derivatives of flavonoids. However, the efficient hydroxylation of flavonoids by bacterial P450 enzymes is rarely reported. Here, a bacterial P450 sca-2mut whole-cell biocatalyst with an outstanding 3'-hydroxylation activity for the efficient hydroxylation of a variety of flavonoids was first reported. The whole-cell activity of sca-2mut was enhanced using a novel combination of flavodoxin Fld and flavodoxin reductase Fpr from Escherichia coli. In addition, the double mutant of sca-2mut (R88A/S96A) exhibited an improved hydroxylation performance for flavonoids through the enzymatic engineering. Moreover, the whole-cell activity of sca-2mut (R88A/S96A) was further enhanced by the optimization of whole-cell biocatalytic conditions. Finally, eriodictyol, dihydroquercetin, luteolin, and 7,3',4'-trihydroxyisoflavone, as examples of flavanone, flavanonol, flavone, and isoflavone, were produced by whole-cell biocatalysis using naringenin, dihydrokaempferol, apigenin, and daidzein as the substrates, with the conversion yield of 77%, 66%, 32%, and 75%, respectively. The strategy used in this study provided an effective method for the further hydroxylation of other high value-added compounds.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s) are ubiquitous enzymes with high availability and diversity in nature. Fungi provide a diverse and complex array of P450s, and these enzymes play essential roles in various secondary metabolic processes. Besides the physiological impacts of P450s on fungal life, their versatile functions are attractive for use in advanced applications of the biotechnology sector. Herein, we report gene identification and functional characterization of P450s from the zygomycetous fungus Thamnidium elegans (TeCYPs). We identified 48 TeCYP genes, including two putative pseudogenes, from the whole-genome sequence of T. elegans. Furthermore, we constructed a functional library of TeCYPs and heterologously expressed 46 TeCYPs in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Recombinants of S. cerevisiae were then used as whole-cell biocatalysts for bioconversion of various compounds. Catalytic potentials of various TeCYPs were demonstrated through a functionomic survey to convert a series of compounds, including steroidal substrates. Notably, CYP5312A4 was found to be highly active against testosterone. Based on nuclear magnetic resonance analysis, enzymatic conversion of testosterone to 14α-hydroxytestosterone by CYP5312A4 was demonstrated. This is the first report to identify a novel fungal P450 that catalyzes the 14α-hydroxylation of testosterone. In addition, we explored the latent potentials of TeCYPs using various substrates. This study provides a platform to further study the potential use of TeCYPs as catalysts in pharmaceutical and agricultural industries and biotechnology.

Abstract
Selective oxidation reactions represent a challenging task for conventional organic chemistry. Whole-cell biocatalysis provides a very convenient, easy to apply method to carry out different selective oxidation reactions including chemo-, regio-, and enantio-selective reactions. Streptomyces species are important biocatalysts as they can catalyze these selective reactions very efficiently owing to the wide diversity of enzymes and enzymatic cascades in their cell niche. In this review, we present and analyze most of the examples reported to date of oxidative reactions catalyzed by Streptomyces species as whole-cell biocatalysts. We discuss 33 different Streptomyces species and strains and the role they play in different oxidative reactions over the past five decades. The oxidative reactions have been classified into seven categories that include: hydroxylation of steroids/non-steroids, asymmetric sulfoxidations, oxidation of aldehydes, multi-step oxidations, oxidative cleavage, and N-oxidations. The role played by Streptomyces species as recombinant hosts catalyzing bio-oxidations has also been highlighted.

Abstract
The biocatalysts responsible for the enzymatic synthesis of hydroxygenisteins, derivatives of genistein with multiple activities, usually show regioselective promiscuity, hydroxylating genistein to form a mixture of multiple products, which, in turn, results in a cumbersome separation and purification. Hence, it is highly desired to explore the underlying mechanism regulating the regioselectivity of hydroxylases. M13 is a variant of cytochrome P450 BM3 with oxidant activity toward genistein. Herein, genistein was demonstrated to be hydroxylated by M13 to form a mixture of 3'-hydroxygenistein (3'-OHG) and 8-hydroxygenistein (8-OHG), each giving 4% conversion with a ratio of 1:1. Protein engineering toward M13 was thus performed to improve its regioselectivity. When isoleucine at position 86 was mutated into cysteine, the resultant variant M13I86C displayed improved regioselectivity toward 3'-OHG with an increased conversion of 8.5%. The double mutation M13I86CP18W further boosted the conversion of 3'-OHG to 9.6%, and the ratio of 3'-OHG to 8-OHG increased to 12:1. Conversely, both CoCl2 and glucose 6-phosphate (G6P) could lead to more 8-OHG. When Co2+ reached 37.5 mM, M13I86CP18W could give an 8-OHG conversion of 22.4%. The maximal ratio of 8-OHG to 3'-OHG reached 130 when 62.5 mM Co2+ was included in the reaction mixture. With the increase of G6P from 10 to 40 mM, the conversion of M13I86CP18W to 8-OHG gradually increased to 22.6%, while the conversion to 3'-OHG decreased to 6%. Thus, both intrinsic residues and external reaction conditions can affect the regiospecificity of M13, which laid the foundation for the selection of suitable biocatalysts for the hydroxylation of genistein.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450s (CYPs) are heme-thiolated enzymes that catalyze the oxidation of CH bonds in a regio and stereoselective manner. Activation of the non-activated carbon atom can be further enhanced by multistep chemo-enzymatic reactions; moreover, several useful chemicals can be synthesized to provide alternative organic synthesis routes. Given their versatile functionality, CYPs show promise in a number of biotechnological fields. Recently, various CYPs, along with their sequences and functionalities, have been identified owing to rapid developments in sequencing technology and molecular biotechnology. In addition to these discoveries, attempts have been made to utilize CYPs to industrially produce biochemicals from available and sustainable bioresources such as oil, amino acids, carbohydrates, and lignin. Here, these accomplishments, particularly those involving the use of CYP enzymes as whole-cell biocatalysts for bioresource biotransformation, will be reviewed. Further, recently developed biotransformation pathways that result in gram-scale yields of fatty acids and fatty alkanes as well as aromatic amino acids, which depend on the hosts used for CYP expression, and the nature of the multistep reactions will be discussed. These pathways are similar regardless of whether the hosts are CYP-producing or non-CYP-producing; the limitations of these methods and the ways to overcome them are reviewed here.

Abstract
Flavonols are a flavonoid subfamily widely distributed in plants, including several ones of great importance in human and animal diet (apple, tomato, broccoli, onion, beans, tea). These polyphenolic nutraceuticals exert potent antimicrobial (membrane potential disruptors), antioxidant (free-radical scavengers), pharmacokinetic (CYP450 modulators), anti-inflammatory (lipoxygenase inhibitors), antiangiogenic (VEGF inhibitors) and antitumor (cyclin inhibitors) activities. Biotechnological production of these nutraceuticals, for example via heterologous biosynthesis in industrial actinomycetes, is favored since in plants these polyphenols appear as inactive glycosylated derivatives, in low concentrations or as part of complex mixtures with other polyphenolic compounds. In this work, we describe the de novo biosynthesis of three important flavonols, myricetin, kaempferol and quercetin, in the industrially relevant actinomycetes Streptomyces coelicolor and S. albus. De novo biosynthesis of kaempferol, myricetin and quercetin in actinomycetes has not been described before.

Abstract
Tetrahydroprotoberberines (THPBs), a class of naturally occurring isoquinoline alkaloids, contain substituent methoxyl or hydroxyl groups which play a significant role in the pharmacological properties of these molecules. In this study, we report a biocatalytic strategy for selective O-demethylation of THPBs. CYP105D1, a cytochrome P450 from Streptomyces griseus ATCC 13273, exhibited markedly regioselective demethylation of nonhydroxyl-THPBs and monohydroxyl-THPBs on the D-ring. A possible binding mode of THPBs with CYP105D1 was investigated by docking analysis, and the results revealed that the D-rings of THPBs were with the minimum distance to the heme iron. Tetrahydropalmatine was used as a model substrate and enantioselective demethylation was demonstrated. (S)-Tetrahydropalmatine was only demethylated at C-10, while (R)-tetrahydropalmatine was first demethylated at C-10 and then subsequently demethylated at C-9. The kcat/Km value for demethylation of (R)-tetrahydropalmatine by CYP105D1 was 3.7 times greater than that for demethylation of (S)-tetrahydropalmatine. Furthermore, selective demethylation of (S)-tetrahydropalmatine by the CYP105D1-based whole-cell system was demonstrated for the highly efficient production of (S)-corydalmine which has distinct pharmacological applications, such as providing relief from bone cancer pain and reducing morphine tolerance. Moreover, a homologous redox partner was identified to enhance the catalytic efficiency of the CYP105D1-based whole-cell system. This is the first enzymatic characterization of a cytochrome P450 that has regio- and enantioselective demethylation activity of THPBs for application purpose. The cytochrome P450 system could be a promising strategy for selective demethylation in the pharmaceutical industry.

Abstract
Soy isoflavones are naturally occurring phytochemicals, which are biotransformed into functional derivatives through oxidative and reductive metabolic pathways of diverse microorganisms. Such representative derivatives, ortho-dihydroxyisoflavones (ODIs) and equols, have attracted great attention for their versatile health benefits since they were found from soybean fermented foods and human intestinal fluids. Recently, scientists in food technology, nutrition and microbiology began to understand their correct biosynthetic pathways and nutraceutical values, and have attempted to produce the valuable bioactive compounds using microbial fermentation and whole-cell/enzyme-based biotransformation. Furthermore, artificial design of microbial catalysts and/or protein engineering of oxidoreductases were also conducted to enhance production efficiency and regioselectivity of products. This minireview summarizes and introduces the past year's studies and recent advances in notable production of ODIs and equols, and provides information on available microbial species and their catalytic performance with perspectives on industrial application.

A Comprehensive Screening and Identification of Genistin Metabolites in Rats Based on Multiple Metabolite Templates Combined with UHPLC-HRMS Analysis. Molecules 2018; 23:molecules23081862. [PMID: 30049985 PMCID: PMC6222673 DOI: 10.3390/molecules23081862] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2018] [Revised: 07/18/2018] [Accepted: 07/19/2018] [Indexed: 01/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Genistin, an isoflavone belonging to the phytoestrogen family, has been reported to possess various therapeutic effects. In the present study, the genistin metabolites in rats were investigated by UHPLC-LTQ-Orbitrap mass spectrometer in both positive and negative ion modes. Firstly, the data sets were obtained based on data-dependent acquisition method and then 10 metabolite templates were established based on the previous reports. Then diagnostic product ions (DPIs) and neutral loss fragments (NLFs) were proposed to efficiently screen and ascertain the major-to-trace genistin metabolites. Meanwhile, the calculated Clog P values were used to identify the positional isomers with different retention times. Consequently, a total of 64 metabolites, including prototype drug, were positively or putatively characterized. Among them, 40 metabolites were found according to the templates of genistin and genistein, which was the same as the previous research method. After using other metabolite templates, 24 metabolites were added. The results demonstrated that genistin mainly underwent methylation, hydrogenation, hydroxylation, glucosylation, glucuronidation, sulfonation, acetylation, ring-cleavage and their composite reactions in vivo biotransformation. In conclusion, the research not only revealed the genistein metabolites and metabolic pathways in vivo comprehensively, but also proposed a method based on multiple metabolite templates to screen and identify metabolites of other natural compounds.

Abstract
Covering: up to January 2017Cytochrome P450 enzymes (P450s) are some of the most exquisite and versatile biocatalysts found in nature. In addition to their well-known roles in steroid biosynthesis and drug metabolism in humans, P450s are key players in natural product biosynthetic pathways. Natural products, the most chemically and structurally diverse small molecules known, require an extensive collection of P450s to accept and functionalize their unique scaffolds. In this review, we survey the current catalytic landscape of P450s within the Streptomyces genus, one of the most prolific producers of natural products, and comprehensively summarize the functionally characterized P450s from Streptomyces. A sequence similarity network of >8500 P450s revealed insights into the sequence-function relationships of these oxygen-dependent metalloenzymes. Although only ∼2.4% and <0.4% of streptomycete P450s have been functionally and structurally characterized, respectively, the study of streptomycete P450s involved in the biosynthesis of natural products has revealed their diverse roles in nature, expanded their catalytic repertoire, created structural and mechanistic paradigms, and exposed their potential for biomedical and biotechnological applications. Continued study of these remarkable enzymes will undoubtedly expose their true complement of chemical and biological capabilities.

Abstract
Background De novo production of multi-hydroxylated diterpenoids is challenging due to the lack of efficient redox systems. Results In this study a new reductase/ferredoxin system from Streptomyces afghaniensis (AfR·Afx) was identified, which allowed the Escherichia coli-based production of the trihydroxylated diterpene cyclooctatin, a potent inhibitor of human lysophospholipase. This production system provides a 43-fold increase in cyclooctatin yield (15 mg/L) compared to the native producer. AfR·Afx is superior in activating the cylcooctatin-specific class I P450s CotB3/CotB4 compared to the conventional Pseudomonas putida derived PdR·Pdx model. To enhance the activity of the PdR·Pdx system, the molecular basis for these activity differences, was examined by molecular engineering. Conclusion We demonstrate that redox system engineering can boost and harmonize the catalytic efficiency of class I hydroxylase enzyme cascades. Enhancing CotB3/CotB4 activities also provided for identification of CotB3 substrate promiscuity and sinularcasbane D production, a functionalized diterpenoid originally isolated from the soft coral Sinularia sp.

Abstract
As a result of the discovery that flavonoids are directly or indirectly connected to health, flavonoid metabolism and its fascinating molecules that are natural products in plants, have attracted the attention of both the industry and researchers involved in plant science, nutrition, bio/chemistry, chemical bioengineering, pharmacy, medicine, etc. Subsequently, in the past few years, flavonoids became a top story in the pharmaceutical industry, which is continually seeking novel ways to produce safe and efficient drugs. Microbial cell cultures can act as workhorse bio-factories by offering their metabolic machinery for the purpose of optimizing the conditions and increasing the productivity of a selective flavonoid. Furthermore, metabolic engineering methodology is used to reinforce what nature does best by correcting the inadequacies and dead-ends of a metabolic pathway. Combinatorial biosynthesis techniques led to the discovery of novel ways of producing natural and even unnatural plant flavonoids, while, in addition, metabolic engineering provided the industry with the opportunity to invest in synthetic biology in order to overcome the currently existing restricted diversification and productivity issues in synthetic chemistry protocols. In this review, is presented an update on the rationalized approaches to the production of natural or unnatural flavonoids through biotechnology, analyzing the significance of combinatorial biosynthesis of agricultural/pharmaceutical compounds produced in heterologous organisms. Also mentioned are strategies and achievements that have so far thrived in the area of synthetic biology, with an emphasis on metabolic engineering targeting the cellular optimization of microorganisms and plants that produce flavonoids, while stressing the advances in flux dynamic control and optimization. Finally, the involvement of the rapidly increasing numbers of assembled genomes that contribute to the gene- or pathway-mining in order to identify the gene(s) responsible for producing species-specific secondary metabolites is also considered herein.

Abstract
Daidzein and genistein are two major components of soy isoflavones. They exist abundantly in plants and possess multiple bioactivities. In contrast, ortho-hydroxydaidzein (OHD) and ortho-hydroxygenistein (OHG), including 6-hydroxydaidzein (6-OHD), 8-hydroxydaidzein (8-OHD), 3'-hydroxydaidzein (3'-OHD), 6-hydroxygenistein (6-OHG), 8-hydroxygenistein (8-OHG), and 3'-hydroxygenistein (3'-OHG), are rarely found in plants. Instead, they are usually isolated from fermented soybean foods or microbial fermentation broth feeding with soybean meal. Accordingly, the bioactivity of OHD and OHG has been investigated less compared to that of soy isoflavones. Recently, OHD and OHG were produced by genetically engineering microorganisms through gene cloning of cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme systems. This success opens up bioactivity investigation and industrial applications of OHD and OHG in the future. This article reviews isolation of OHD and OHG from non-synthetic sources and production of the compounds by genetically modified microorganisms. Several bioactivities, such as anticancer and antimelanogenesis-related activities, of OHD and OHG, are also discussed.

Abstract
It was previously proposed that regiospecific hydroxylation of daidzein at 3'-position is mediated by cytochrome P450 hydroxylase (CYP105D7) in the presence of putidaredoxin (CamB) and putidaredoxin reductase (CamA) as electron transfer proteins from Pseudomonas putida. The genome sequence of Streptomyces avermitilis MA4680 revealed 33 P450 (CYPs) with 6 ferredoxin reductases (Fprs) and 9 ferredoxins (Fdxs) as their putative electron transfer partner proteins. To identify right endogenous electron transfer proteins for CYP105D7 activity, in vitro reconstitution, gene disruption, and quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) mRNA expression profile analysis were examined. The most effective electron transfer proteins for CYP105D7 appear to be FdxH (SAV7470), which is located downstream to CYP105D7 as a cluster, and FprD (SAV5675). Throughout our overall analysis, we proposed that the primary electron transfer pathway for CYP105D7 follows as such NAD(P)H→FdxH→FprD→CYP105D7.

Abstract
A cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme, 3’-daidzein hydroxylase, CYP105D7 (3’-DH), responsible for daidzein hydroxylation at the 3’-position, was recently reported. CYP105D7 (3’-DH) is a class I type of CYP that requires electrons provided through electron transfer proteins such as ferredoxin and ferredoxin reductase. Presently, we constructed an artificial CYP in order to develop a reaction host for the production of a hydroxylated product. Fusion-mediated construction with the reductase domain from self-sufficient CYP102D1 was done to increase electron transfer efficiency and coupling with the oxidative process. An artificial self-sufficient daidzein hydroxylase (3’-ASDH) displayed distinct spectral properties of both flavoprotein and CYP. The fusion enzyme catalyzed hydroxylation of daidzein more efficiently, with a kcat/Km value of 16.8 μM-1 min-1, which was about 24-fold higher than that of the 3’-DH-camA/B reconstituted enzyme. Finally, a recombinant Streptomyces avermitilis host for the expression of 3’-ASDH and production of the hydroxylated product was developed. The conversion that was attained (34.6%) was 5.2-fold higher than that of the wild-type.
