Abstract
The bioderacemization of racemic phosphinothricin (D, L-PPT) is a promising route for the synthesis of l-phosphinothricin (L-PPT). However, the low activity and tolerance of wild-type enzymes restrict their industrial applications. Two stereocomplementary aminotransferases with high activity and substrate tolerance were identified in a metagenomic library, and a one-pot, two-stage artificial cascade biocatalytic system was developed to produce L-PPT through kinetic resolution and asymmetric amination. We observed that 500 mM D, L-PPT (100 g/L) could be converted into L-PPT with 94% final conversion and >99.9% enantiomeric excess (e.e.) within 24 h, with only 0.02 eq amino acceptor pyruvate and 1.2 eq amino donor l-aspartate required. The process could be scaled up to 10 L under sufficient oxygen and stirring. The superior catalytic performance of this system provides an eco-friendly and sustainable approach to the industrial deracemization of D, L-PPT to L-PPT.

Design of a cofactor self-sufficient whole-cell biocatalyst for enzymatic asymmetric reduction via engineered metabolic pathways and multi-enzyme cascade. Biotechnol J 2024; 19:e2300744.

Abstract
NAD(P)H-dependent oxidoreductases are crucial biocatalysts for synthesizing chiral compounds. Yet, the industrial implementation of enzymatic redox reactions is often hampered by an insufficient supply of expensive nicotinamide cofactors. Here, a cofactor self-sufficient whole-cell biocatalyst was developed for the enzymatic asymmetric reduction of 2-oxo-4-[(hydroxy)(-methyl)phosphinyl] butyric acid (PPO) to L-phosphinothricin (L-PPT). The endogenous NADP+ pool was significantly enhanced by regulating Preiss-Handler pathway toward NAD(H) synthesis and, in the meantime, introducing NAD kinase to phosphorylate NAD(H) toward NADP+. The intracellular NADP(H) concentration displayed a 2.97-fold increase with the strategy compared with the wild-type strain. Furthermore, a recombinant multi-enzyme cascade biocatalytic system was constructed based on the Escherichia coli chassis. In order to balance multi-enzyme co-expression levels, the strategy of modulating rate-limiting enzyme PmGluDH by RBS strengths regulation successfully increased the catalytic efficiency of PPO conversion. Finally, the cofactor self-sufficient whole-cell biocatalyst effectively converted 300 mM PPO to L-PPT in 2 h without the need to add exogenous cofactors, resulting in a 2.3-fold increase in PPO conversion (%) from 43% to 100%, with a high space-time yield of 706.2 g L-1 d-1 and 99.9% ee. Overall, this work demonstrates a technological example for constructing a cofactor self-sufficient system for NADPH-dependent redox biocatalysis.

[PMID: 38289384 PMCID: PMC10827958 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-024-13023-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2023] [Revised: 11/14/2023] [Accepted: 01/18/2024] [Indexed: 02/01/2024]
Abstract
Transaminase (TA) is a crucial biocatalyst for enantioselective production of the herbicide L-phosphinothricin (L-PPT). The use of enzymatic cascades has been shown to effectively overcome the unfavorable thermodynamic equilibrium of TA-catalyzed transamination reaction, also increasing demand for TA stability. In this work, a novel thermostable transaminase (PtTA) from Pseudomonas thermotolerans was mined and characterized. The PtTA showed a high specific activity (28.63 U/mg) towards 2-oxo-4-[(hydroxy)(methyl)phosphinoyl]butyric acid (PPO), with excellent thermostability and substrate tolerance. Two cascade systems driven by PtTA were developed for L-PPT biosynthesis, including asymmetric synthesis of L-PPT from PPO and deracemization of D, L-PPT. For the asymmetric synthesis of L-PPT from PPO, a three-enzyme cascade was constructed as a recombinant Escherichia coli (E. coli G), by co-expressing PtTA, glutamate dehydrogenase (GluDH) and D-glucose dehydrogenase (GDH). Complete conversion of 400 mM PPO was achieved using only 40 mM amino donor L-glutamate. Furthermore, by coupling D-amino acid aminotransferase (Ym DAAT) from Bacillus sp. YM-1 and PtTA, a two-transaminase cascade was developed for the one-pot deracemization of D, L-PPT. Under the highest reported substrate concentration (800 mM D, L-PPT), a 90.43% L-PPT yield was realized. The superior catalytic performance of the PtTA-driven cascade demonstrated that the thermodynamic limitation was overcome, highlighting its application prospect for L-PPT biosynthesis. KEY POINTS: • A novel thermostable transaminase was mined for L-phosphinothricin biosynthesis. • The asymmetric synthesis of L-phosphinothricin was achieved via a three-enzyme cascade. • Development of a two-transaminase cascade for D, L-phosphinothricin deracemization.

Abstract
With potent herbicidal activity, biocatalysis synthesis of L-glufosinate has drawn attention. In present research, NAP-Das2.3, a deacetylase capable of stereoselectively resolving N-acetyl-L-glufosinate to L-glufosinate mined from Arenimonas malthae, was heterologously expressed and characterized. In Escherichia coli, NAP-Das2.3 activity only reached 0.25 U/L due to the formation of inclusive bodies. Efficient soluble expression of NAP-Das2.3 was achieved in Pichia pastoris. In shake flask and 5 L bioreactor fermentation, NAP-Das2.3 activity by recombinant P. pastoris reached 107.39 U/L and 1287.52 U/L, respectively. The optimum temperature and pH for N-acetyl-glufosinate hydrolysis by NAP-Das2.3 were 45 °C and pH 8.0, respectively. The Km and Vmax of NAP-Das2.3 towards N-acetyl-glufosinate were 25.32 mM and 19.23 μmol mg-1 min-1, respectively. Within 90 min, 92.71% of L-enantiomer in 100 mM racemic N-acetyl-glufosinate was converted by NAP-Das2.3. L-glufosinate with high optical purity (e.e.P above 99.9%) was obtained. Therefore, the recombinant NAP-Das2.3 might be an alternative for L-glufosinate biosynthesis.

Abstract
2-oxo-4-[(hydroxy)(methyl)phosphinoyl]butyric acid (PPO) is the essential precursor keto acid for the asymmetric biosynthesis of herbicide l-phosphinothricin (l-PPT). Developing a biocatalytic cascade for PPO production with high efficiency and low cost is highly desired. Herein, a d-amino acid aminotransferase from Bacillus sp. YM-1 (Ym DAAT) with high activity (48.95 U/mg) and affinity (Km = 27.49 mM) toward d-PPT was evaluated. To circumvent the inhibition of by-product d-glutamate (d-Glu), an amino acceptor (α-ketoglutarate) regeneration cascade was constructed as a recombinant Escherichia coli (E. coli D), by coupling Ym d-AAT, d-aspartate oxidase from Thermomyces dupontii (TdDDO) and catalase from Geobacillus sp. CHB1. Moreover, the regulation of the ribosome binding site was employed to overcome the limiting step of expression toxic protein TdDDO in E. coli BL21(DE3). The aminotransferase-driven whole-cell biocatalytic cascade (E. coli D) showed superior catalytic efficiency for the synthesis of PPO from d,l-phosphinothricin (d,l-PPT). It revealed the production of PPO exhibited high space-time yield (2.59 g L-1 h-1 ) with complete conversion of d-PPT to PPO at high substrate concentration (600 mM d,l-PPT) in 1.5 L reaction system. This study first provides the synthesis of PPO from d,l-PPT employing an aminotransferase-driven biocatalytic cascade.

[PMID: 37265188 DOI: 10.1002/biot.202300027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2023] [Revised: 04/20/2023] [Accepted: 05/19/2023] [Indexed: 06/03/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Biocatalytic production of L-phosphinothricin (L-PPT) is currently the most promising method. In this work, we use an Escherichia coli strain coexpressing of D-amino acid oxidase and catalase (E. coli DAAO-CAT) to oxidation biocatalytic D-PPT to PPO, then use the second E. coli strain coexpressing glutamate dehydrogenase and formate dehydrogenase (E. coli GluDH-FDH) to reduce biocatalytic PPO to L-PPT. MAIN METHODS AND MAJOR RESULTS We compared the effects of different concentrations of IPTG or lactose on protein expression and enzyme activity in 5 L fermenter. The best induction conditions for E. coli DAAO-CAT were 0.05 mM IPTG, induction for 18 h at 28°C. The specific enzyme activities of DAAO and CAT were 153.20 U g-1 and 896.23 U g-1 , respectively. The optimal induction conditions for E. coli GluDH-FDH were 0.2 mM IPTG, induction for 19 h at 28°C. The specific enzyme activities of GluDH and FDH were 41.72 U g-1 and 109.70 U g-1 , respectively. The 200 mM D-PPT was biocatalyzed by E. coli DAAO-CAT for 4 h with space-time yield of 9.0 g·L-1 ·h-1 and conversion rate of over 99.0%. Then 220 mM PPO was converted to L-PPT by E. coli GluDH-FDH for 3 h with space-time yield of 14.5 g·L-1 ·h-1 and conversion rate of over 99.0%. To our knowledge, this is the most efficient biocatalytic reaction for L-PPT production. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS We found that IPTG has advantages compared with lactose in the enzyme activity and biomass of E. coli DAAO-CAT and E. coli GluDH-FDH, and IPTG is more environmentally friendly. Our data implicated that IPTG can replace lactose in terms of economic feasibility and effectiveness for scaled-up industrial fermentations.

A combination fermentation strategy for simultaneously increasing cellular NADP(H) level, biomass, and enzymatic activity of glufosinate dehydrogenase in Escherichia coli. Bioprocess Biosyst Eng 2023; 46:867-878. [PMID: 37022468 DOI: 10.1007/s00449-023-02871-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2023] [Accepted: 03/26/2023] [Indexed: 04/07/2023]
Abstract
Oxidoreductase is one of the most important biocatalysts for the synthesis of various chiral compounds. However, their whole-cell activity is frequently affected by an insufficient supply of expensive nicotinamide cofactors. This study aimed to overcome such shortcomings by developing a combination fermentation strategy for simultaneously increasing intracellular NADP(H) level, biomass, and glufosinate dehydrogenase activity in E. coli. The results showed that the feeding mode of NAD(H) synthesis precursor and lactose inducer had essential effects on the accumulation level of intracellular NADPH. Adding 40 mg L-1 of L-aspartic acid to the medium increased the intracellular NADP(H) concentration by 36.3%. Under the pH-stat feeding mode and adding 0.4 g L-1 h-1 lactose, the NADP(H) concentration, biomass, and GluDH activity in the 5-L fermenter reached 445.7 μmol L-1, 21.7 gDCW L-1, and 8569.3 U L-1, respectively. As far as we know, this is the highest reported activity of GluDH in the fermentation broth. Finally, the 5000-L fermenter was successfully scaled up to use this fermentation approach. The combination fermentation strategy might serve as a useful approach for the high-activity fermentation of other NADPH-dependent oxidoreductases.

Abstract
L-Phosphinothricin (L-PPT) is the effective constituent in racemic PPT (a high-efficiency and broad-spectrum herbicide), and the exploitation of green and sustainable synthesis route for L-PPT has always been the focus in pesticide industry. In recent years, "one-pot, two-step" enzyme-mediated cascade strategy is a mainstream pathway to obtain L-PPT. Herein, RgDAAO and BsLeuDH were applied to expand "one-pot, two-step" process. Notably, a NADH-dependent leucine dehydrogenase from Bacillus subtilis (BsLeuDH) was firstly characterized and attempted to generate L-PPT, achieving an excellent enantioselectivity (99.9% ee). Meanwhile, a formate dehydrogenase from Pichia pastoris (PpFDH) was utilized to implement NADH cofactor regeneration and only CO2 was by-product. Sufficient amount of the corresponding keto acid precursor PPO was obtained by oxidation of D-PPT relying on a D-amino acid oxidase from Rhodotorula gracilis (RgDAAO) with content conversion (46.1%). L-PPT was ultimately prepared from racemized PPT via oxidative deamination catalyzed by RgDAAO and reductive amination catalyzed by BsLeuDH, achieving 80.3% overall yield and > 99.9% ee value.

Abstract
(S)-2-chlorophenylglycine ((S)-CPG) is a key chiral intermediate for the synthesis of clopidogrel. Herein, a novel, efficient and environmentally friendly chemo-enzymatic route for the preparation of optically pure (S)-CPG was developed. A straightforward chemical synthesis of the corresponding prochiral keto acid substrate (2-chlorophenyl)glyoxylic acid (CPGA) was developed with 91.7% yield, which was enantioselectively aminated by leucine dehydrogenase (LeuDH) to (S)-CPG. Moreover, protein engineering of LeuDH was performed via directed evolution and semi-rational design. A beneficial variant EsLeuDH-F362L with enlarged substrate-binding pocket and increased hydrogen bond between K77 and substrate CPGA was constructed, which exhibited 2.1-fold enhanced specific activity but decreased thermal stability. Coupled with a glucose dehydrogenase from Bacillus megaterium (BmGDH) for NADH regeneration, EsLeuDH-F362L completely converted up to 0.5 M CPGA to (S)-CPG in 8 h at 40 °C.

Abstract
Pichia pastoris is widely used for the production of valuable recombinant proteins. An advantage of P. pastoris over other expression systems is that it secretes low levels of endogenous proteins, which facilitates the purification processes if the desired recombinant proteins are efficiently secreted into the culture medium. However, not all recombinant proteins can be successfully secreted by P. pastoris, especially enzymes that are located in intracellular compartments in their native hosts. Few studies have reported strategies for releasing recombinant proteins which cannot be secreted by standard protocols. Here, we investigated whether this challenge can be addressed using novel secretion leaders. Analysis of the secretome and transcriptome of P. pastoris indicated that the four genes with the highest protein-to-transcript ratios were EPX1, PAS_chr3_0030, SCW10, and UTH1, suggesting that their gene products contain efficient secretion leaders. Our data revealed that the signal peptide derived from the PAS_chr3_0030 gene product conferred secretion competence to certain industrial enzymes, e.g., a nitrilase of Alcaligenes faecalis ZJUTB10, a ribosylnicotinamide kinase of P. pastoris, and a glucose dehydrogenase of Exiguobacterium sibiricum. Therefore, the signal peptide derived from the PAS_chr3_0030 gene product represents a novel secretion sequence for the secretory expression of recombinant enzymes in P. pastoris. IMPORTANCE Although P. pastoris is widely used for the secretory production of pharmaceutical proteins, its successful applications in the secretory production of industrial enzymes are limited. The α-mating factor pre-pro leader is the most widely used secretion signal in P. pastoris, but numerous industrial enzymes cannot be secreted using it. The importance of this study is that we identified a signal peptide derived from the PAS_chr3_0030 gene product which conferred secretion competence to three-quarters of the enzymes tested. This signal peptide derived from the PAS_chr3_0030 gene product may facilitate the application of P. pastoris in industrial biocatalysis.

Abstract
With the ban of highly toxic herbicides, such as paraquat and glyphosate, phosphinothricin (PPT) is becoming the most popular broad-spectrum and highly effective herbicide. The current PPT products in the market are usually a racemic mixture with two configurations, the D-type and L-type, of which only the L-PPT has the herbicidal activity. The racemic product is not atom economic, more toxic and may cause soil damage. Asymmetric synthesis of L-PPT has become a research focus in recent years, while biological synthesis methods are preferred for its character of environmental friendly and requiring less reaction steps when being compared to the chemical methods. We have developed a biological synthesis route to produce optically pure L-PPT from D,L-PPT in two steps using 2-carbonyl-4- (hydroxymethyl phosphonyl) butyric acid as the intermediate. In this study, we expressed the glutamate dehydrogenase and glucose dehydrogenase using Pichia pastoris as the first time. After a series of optimization, the total L-PPT yield reached 84%. The developed synthesis system showed a high potential for future industrial application. Compare to the previous plasmid-carrying-E. coli expression system, the established method may avoid antibiotic usage and provided an alternative way for industrial synthesis of optically pure L-PPT.

Abstract
NADPH-dependent amino acid dehydrogenases (AADHs) are favorable enzymes to construct artificial biosynthetic pathways in whole-cell for high-value noncanonical amino acids (NcAAs) production. Glutamate dehydrogenases (GluDHs) represent attractive candidates for the development of novel NADPH-dependent AADHs. Here, we report the development of a novel NADPH-dependent phenylglycine dehydrogenase by combining active pocket engineering and hinge region engineering of a GluDH from Pseudomonas putida (PpGluDH). The active pocket of PpGluDH was firstly tailored to optimize its binding mode with bulky substrate α-oxobenzeneacetic acid (α-OA), and then, the hinge region was further engineered to tune the protein conformational dynamics, which finally resulted in a mutant M3 (T196A/T121I/L123D) with a 103-fold increase of catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km) toward α-OA. The M3 mutant exhibited high catalytic performance in both in vitro biocatalysis preparation and in vivo biosynthesis of l-phenylglycine, indicating its promising practical applications. Our results demonstrated that co-engineering of the active pocket and hinge region is an effective strategy for developing novel NADPH-dependent AADHs from GluDHs for NcAAs production.

Abstract
Transaminases catalyze the transfer of an amino group from a donor to a keto group of an acceptor substrate and are applicable to the asymmetric synthesis of herbicide L-phosphinothricin (L-PPT). Here, the important residue sites (C390, I22, V52, R141, Y138 and D239) of transaminase from Salmonella enterica (SeTA) were modified at the adjacency of the substrate-binding pocket to improve the enzyme activity. Among the constructed mutant library, the SeTA-Y138F mutant displayed higher activity than the wild-type enzyme. Compared to the wild-type, SeTA-Y138F showed improved catalytic efficiency with a 4.36-fold increase. The Km and kcat of SeTA -Y138F toward 4-(hydroxy(methyl) phosphoryl)-2-oxobutanoic acid (PPO) were 26.39 mM and 34.28 s-1, respectively. Subsequently, the three-enzyme co-expression system of E. coli BL21 (DE3)/pACYCDuet-SeTA-Y138F/pETDuet-AlaDH-BsGDH was developed by combining a alanine dehydrogenase (AlaDH) to recycle the byproduct of amino donor, a glucose dehydrogenase (BsGDH) for cofactor recycling. Under the optimized conditions, an excellent L-PPT yield of 90.8% was achieved by the whole-cell biotransformation with 500 mM PPO. It exhibited the tri-enzymatic coupling system was potential for effective production of target L-PPT.

Abstract
Phosphinothricin (PPT) is one of the most prevalently using herbicides. The commercial phosphinothricin products are generally in the form of a racemic mixture, of which only the l-phosphinothricin (L-PPT) gives herbicidal function. Synthesis of optically pure L-PPT by deracemization of D/L-PPT is a promising way to cut down the environmental burden and manufacturing cost. To convert D/L-PPT to L-PPT, we expressed the catalytic enzymes by genomic integration in E. coli. The whole production was implemented in two steps in one pot using four catalytic enzymes, namely d-amino acid oxidase, catalase, glutamate dehydrogenase, and glucose dehydrogenase. Finally, after a series of process optimization, the results showed that with our system the overall L-PPT yield reached 86%. Our study demonstrated a new strategy for L-PPT synthesis, based on enzymes from chromosomal integrated expression, which does not depend on antibiotic selection, and shows a high potential for future industrial application.

Abstract
The traditional strategy to improve the efficiency of an entire coupled enzyme system relies on separate direction of the evolution of enzymes involved in their respective enzymatic reactions. This strategy can lead to enhanced single-enzyme catalytic efficiency but may also lead to loss of coordination among enzymes. This study aimed to overcome such shortcomings by executing a directed evolution strategy on multiple enzymes in one combined group that catalyzes the asymmetric biosynthesis of l-phosphinothricin. The genes of a glutamate dehydrogenase from Pseudomonas moorei (PmGluDH) and a glucose dehydrogenase from Exiguobacterium sibiricum (EsGDH), along with other gene parts (promoters, ribosomal binding sites (RBSs), and terminators) were simultaneously evolved. The catalytic efficiency of PmGluDH was boosted by introducing the beneficial mutation A164G (from 1.29 s-1mM-1 to 183.52 s-1mM-1), and the EsGDH expression level was improved by optimizing the linker length between the RBS and the start codon of gdh. The total turnover numbers of the bioreaction increased from 115 (GluDH WTNADPH) to 5846 (A164GNADPH coupled with low expression of EsGDH), and to 33950 (A164GNADPH coupled with high expression of EsGDH). The coupling efficiency was increased from ∼30% (GluDH_WT with low expression of GDH) to 83.3% (GluDH_A164G with high expression of GDH). In the batch production of l-phosphinothricin utilizing whole-cell catalysis, the strongest biocatalytic reaction exhibited a high space-time yield (6410 g·L-1·d-1) with strict stereoselectivity (>99% enantiomeric excess).Importance: The traditional strategy to improve multienzyme-catalyzed reaction efficiency may lead to enhanced single-enzyme catalytic efficiency but may also result in loss of coordination among enzymes. We describe a directed evolution strategy of an entire coupled enzyme system to simultaneously enhance enzyme coordination and catalytic efficiency. The simultaneous evolution strategy was applied to a multienzyme-catalyzed reaction for the asymmetric synthesis of l-phosphinothricin, which not only enhanced the catalytic efficiency of GluDH but also improved the coordination between GluDH and GDH. Since this strategy is enzyme-independent, it may be applicable to other coupled enzyme systems for chiral chemical synthesis.

Abstract
Stereoselective catalysts for the Pictet-Spengler reaction of tryptamines and aldehydes may allow a simple and fast approach to chiral 1-substituted tetrahydro-β-carbolines. Although biocatalysts have previously been employed for the Pictet-Spengler reaction, not a single one accepts benzaldehyde and its substituted derivatives. To address this challenge, a combination of substrate walking and transfer of beneficial mutations between different wild-type backbones was used to develop a strictosidine synthase from Rauvolfia serpentina (RsSTR) into a suitable enzyme for the asymmetric Pictet-Spengler condensation of tryptamine and benzaldehyde derivatives. The double variant RsSTR V176L/V208A accepted various ortho-, meta- and para-substituted benzaldehydes and produced the corresponding chiral 1-aryl-tetrahydro-β-carbolines with up to 99 % enantiomeric excess.

Abstract
A chemoenzymatic strategy was developed for the highly efficient synthesis of l-phosphinothricin employing a robust immobilized amidase. An enzymatic hydrolysis of 500 mM N-phenylacetyl-d,l-phosphinothricin resulted in 49.9% conversion and 99.9% ee of l-phosphinothricin within 6 h. To further evaluate the bioprocess for l-phosphinothricin production, the biotransformation was performed for 100 batches under a stirred tank reactor with an average productivity of 8.21 g L-1 h-1. Moreover, unreacted N-phenylacetyl-d-phosphinothricin was racemized and subjected to the enzymatic hydrolysis, giving l-phosphinothricin with a 22.3% yield. A total yield of 69.4% was achieved after one recycle of N-phenylacetyl-d-phosphinothricin. Significantly, this chemoenzymatic approach shows great potential in the industrial production of l-phosphinothricin.

Abstract
Glufosinate is a key herbicide to manage glyphosate-resistant weeds mainly because it is a broad-spectrum herbicide, and transgenic glufosinate-resistant crops are available. Although glufosinate use has increased exponentially over the past decade, the treated area with this herbicide is far less than that with glyphosate. This is because glufosinate often provides inconsistent performance in the field, which is attributed to several factors including environmental conditions, application technology, and weed species. Glufosinate is also highly hydrophilic and does not translocate well in plants, generally providing poor control of grasses and perennial species. In the soil, glufosinate is rapidly degraded by microorganisms, leaving no residual activity. While there have been concerns regarding glufosinate toxicology, its proper use can be considered safe. Glufosinate is a fast-acting herbicide that was first discovered as a natural product, and is the only herbicide presently targeting glutamine synthetase. The mode of action of glufosinate has been controversial, and the causes for the rapid phytotoxicity have often been attributed to ammonia accumulation. Recent studies indicate that the contact activity of glufosinate results from the accumulation of reactive oxygen species and subsequent lipid peroxidation. Glufosinate disrupts both photorespiration and the light reactions of photosynthesis, leading to photoreduction of molecular oxygen, which generates reactive oxygen species. The new understanding of the mode of action provided new ideas to improve the herbicidal activity of glufosinate. Finally, a very few weed species have evolved glufosinate resistance in the field, and the resistance mechanisms are generally not well understood requiring further investigation. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Deracemization of D,L-phosphinothricin (D,L-PPT) is one of the most promising routes for preparation of optically pure L-PPT. In this work, an efficient multi-enzyme redox cascade was developed for deracemization ofPPT, which includes oxidative reaction and reductive reaction. The oxidative reaction catalyzing oxidative deamination of D-PPT to 2-oxo-4-[(hydroxy)(-methyl)phosphinyl]butyric acid (PPO) was performed by a D-amino acid oxidase and a catalase for removing H2O2. The reductive reaction catalyzing amination of PPO to L-PPT is achieved by a glufosinate dehydrogenase and a glucose dehydrogenase for cofactor regeneration. To avoid the inhibitory effect of glucose on the oxidative reaction, a "two stages in one-pot" strategy was developed to combine these two reactions in deracemization process. By using this strategy, the L-PPT was obtained with a high yield (89 %) and > 99 % enantiomeric excess at substrate loading of 300 mM in absence of addition of extra NADP+. These encouraging results demonstrated that the developed enzyme cascade deracemization process exhibits great potential and economical competitiveness for manufacture of L-PPT from D,L-PPT.

Abstract
A single-transaminase-catalyzed biocatalytic cascade was developed by employing the desired biocatalyst, ATA-117-Rd11, that showed high activity toward 2-oxo-4-[(hydroxy)(methyl)phosphinoyl] butyric acid (PPO) and α-ketoglutarate, and low activity against pyruvate. The cascade successfully promotes a highly asymmetric amination reaction for the synthesis of l-phosphinothricin (l-PPT) with high conversion (>95 %) and>99 % ee. In a scale-up experiment, using 10 kg pre-frozen E. coli cells harboring ATA-117-Rd11 as catalyst, 80 kg PPO was converted to ≈70 kg l-PPT after 24 hours with a high ee value (>99 %).
