Gong L, Xiu Y, Dong J, Han R, Xu G, Ni Y. Sustainable one-pot chemo-enzymatic synthesis of chiral furan amino acid from biomass via magnetic solid acid and threonine aldolase. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2021; 337:125344. [PMID: 34098500 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2021.125344] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2021] [Revised: 05/24/2021] [Accepted: 05/26/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Sustainable synthesis of valuable noncanonical amino acids from renewable feedstocks is of great importance. Here, a feasible chemo-enzymatic procedure was developed for the synthesis of chiral β-(2-furyl)serine from biomass catalyzed by a solid acid catalyst and immobilized E. coli whole-cell harboring l-threonine aldolase. A novel magnetic solid acid catalyst Fe3O4@MCM-41/SO42- was successfully synthesized for conversion of corncob into furfural in an aqueous system. Under the optimum conditions, furfural yield of 63.6% was achieved in 40 min at 180 ℃ with 2.0% catalyst (w/w). Furthermore, biomass-derived furfural was converted into an aldol-addition product β-(2-furyl)serine with 73.6% yield, 99% ee and 20% de by immobilized cells in 6 h. The magnetic solid acid and biocatalyst can be readily recovered and efficiently reused for five consecutive cycles without significant loss on product yields. This chemo-enzymatic route can be attractive for producing noncanonical amino acids from biomass.

Threonine aldolases: perspectives in engineering and screening the enzymes with enhanced substrate and stereo specificities. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2016; 100:2579-90. [PMID: 26810201 PMCID: PMC4761611 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-015-7218-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 53] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2015] [Revised: 11/30/2015] [Accepted: 12/02/2015] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
Threonine aldolases have emerged as a powerful tool for asymmetric carbon-carbon bond formation. These enzymes catalyse the unnatural aldol condensation of different aldehydes and glycine to produce highly valuable β-hydroxy-α-amino acids with complete stereocontrol at the α-carbon and moderate specificity at the β-carbon. A range of microbial threonine aldolases has been recently recombinantly produced by several groups and their biochemical properties were characterized. Numerous studies have been conducted to improve the reaction protocols to enable higher conversions and investigate the substrate scope of enzymes. However, the application of threonine aldolases in organic synthesis is still limited due to often moderate yields and low diastereoselectivities obtained in the aldol reaction. This review briefly summarizes the screening techniques recently applied to discover novel threonine aldolases as well as enzyme engineering and mutagenesis studies which were accomplished to improve the catalytic activity and substrate specificity. Additionally, the results from new investigations on threonine aldolases including crystal structure determinations and structural-functional characterization are reviewed.
