Abstract
Evolution of P450 BM3 is a topic of extensive research, but screening the various substrate/reaction combinations remains a time-consuming process. Indigo production has the potential to serve as a simple high-throughput method for reaction screening, as bacterial colonies expressing indigo (+) variants can be visually identified via their blue phenotype. Indigo (+) single variants, indigo (-) single variants and a combinatorial library, containing mutations that enable the blue phenotype, were screened for their ability to hydroxylate a panel of 12 aromatic compounds using the 4-aminoantipyrine colorimetric assay. Recombination of indigo (+) single variants to create a multiple-variant library is a particularly useful strategy, as all top performing P450 BM3 variants with high hydroxylation activity were either indigo (+) single variants or contained multiple substitutions. Furthermore, active variants, as determined using the 4-AAP assay, were further characterized and several variants were identified that gave more than 90% conversion with 1,3-dichlorobenzene and predominantly formed 2,6-dichlorophenol; other variants showed significant substrate selectivity. This supports the hypothesis that substitution at positions that enable the indigo (+) phenotype, or hotspot residues, is a general mechanism for increasing aromatic hydroxylation activity. Overall, this research demonstrates that indigo (+) single variants, identified via colorimetric colony-based screening, may be recombined to generate a multiply-substituted variant library containing many variants with high aromatic hydroxylation activity. The combination of colony-based screening and other screening assays greatly accelerates enzyme engineering, as readily-identified indigo (+) single variants can be recombined to create a library of active multiple variants without extensive screening of single variants.

Abstract
Vitamin D deficiency affects nearly half the population, with many requiring or opting for supplements with vitamin D3 (VD3), the precursor of vitamin D (1α,25-dihydroxyVD3). 25-HydroxyVD3, the circulating form of vitamin D, is a more effective supplement than VD3 but its synthesis is complex. We report here the engineering of cytochrome P450BM3 (CYP102A1) for the selective oxidation of VD3 to 25-hydroxyVD3. Long-range effects of the substrate-channel mutation Glu435Ile promoted binding of the VD3 side chain close to the heme, enhancing VD3 oxidation activity that reached 6.62 g of 25-hydroxyVD3 isolated from a 1-litre scale reaction (69.1 % yield; space-time-yield 331 mg/L/h).

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 BM3 monooxygenase is the topic of extensive research as many researchers have evolved this enzyme to generate a variety of products. However, the abundance of information on increasingly diversified variants of P450 BM3 that catalyze a broad array of chemistry is not in a format that enables easy extraction and interpretation. We present a database that categorizes variants by their catalyzed reactions and includes details about substrates to provide reaction context. This database of >1500 P450 BM3 variants is downloadable and machine-readable and includes instructions to maximize ease of gathering information. The database allows rapid identification of commonly reported substitutions, aiding researchers who are unfamiliar with the enzyme in identifying starting points for enzyme engineering. For those actively engaged in engineering P450 BM3, the database, along with this review, provides a powerful and user-friendly platform to understand, predict, and identify the attributes of P450 BM3 variants, encouraging the further engineering of this enzyme.

Abstract
Achieving single-step syntheses of a set of related compounds divergently and selectively from a common starting material affords substantial efficiency gains when compared with preparing those same compounds by multiple individual syntheses. In order for this approach to be realized, complementary reagent systems must be available; here, a panel of engineered P450BM3 enzymes is shown to fulfill this remit in the selective C-H hydroxylation of cyclobutylamine derivatives at chemically unactivated sites. The oxidations can proceed with high regioselectivity and stereoselectivity, producing valuable bifunctional intermediates for synthesis and applications in fragment-based drug discovery. The process also applies to bicyclo[1.1.1]pentyl (BCP) amine derivatives to achieve the first direct enantioselective functionalization of the bridging methylenes and open a short and efficient route to chiral BCP bioisosteres for medicinal chemistry. The combination of substrate, enzyme, and reaction engineering provides a powerful general platform for small-molecule elaboration and diversification.

Abstract
The ability to site-selectively modify equivalent functional groups in a molecule has the potential to streamline syntheses and increase product yields by lowering step counts. Enzymes catalyze site-selective transformations throughout primary and secondary metabolism, but leveraging this capability for non-native substrates and reactions requires a detailed understanding of the potential and limitations of enzyme catalysis and how these bounds can be extended by protein engineering. In this review, we discuss representative examples of site-selective enzyme catalysis involving functional group manipulation and C-H bond functionalization. We include illustrative examples of native catalysis, but our focus is on cases involving non-native substrates and reactions often using engineered enzymes. We then discuss the use of these enzymes for chemoenzymatic transformations and target-oriented synthesis and conclude with a survey of tools and techniques that could expand the scope of non-native site-selective enzyme catalysis.

Abstract
The cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP102A1 (P450BM3) is a versatile monooxygenase enzyme which has been adapted and engineered for multiple applications in chemical synthesis. Mutation of threonine 268 to glutamate (Thr268Glu) converted the heme domain of this enzyme into a H2O2 utilizing peroxygenase. This variant displayed significantly increased peroxide driven hydroxylation activity towards the saturated linear fatty acids tested (undecanoic through to hexadecenoic acid) when compared to the wild-type heme domain. The product distributions arising from fatty acid oxidation using this peroxygenase variant were broadly similar to those obtained with the wild-type monooxygenase holoenzyme, with oxidation occurring predominantly at the ω-1 through to ω-3 positions. 10-Undecenoic acid was regioselectively hydroxylated at the allylic ω-2 carbon by the Thr268Glu peroxygenase. The effect of isotopic substitution were measured using [9,9,10,10-d4]-dodecanoic acid. The kinetic isotope effect for both the monooxygenase and peroxygenase systems ranged between 7.9 and 9.5, with that of the peroxygenase enzyme being marginally lower. This highlights that carbon‑hydrogen bond abstraction is important in the mechanism of both the monooxygenase and peroxygenase systems. This would infer that the ferryl-oxo radical cation intermediate, compound I, is the likely reactive intermediate in both systems. The peroxygenase variant offers the possibility of simpler cytochrome P450 systems for selective oxidations. To demonstrate this we used this system to oxidize tetradecanoic acid using light driven generation of H2O2 by a flavin.

Abstract
CYP102A1 (BM3) is a catalytically self-sufficient flavocytochrome fusion protein isolated from Bacillus megaterium, which displays similar metabolic capabilities to many drug-metabolizing human P450 isoforms. BM3's high catalytic efficiency, ease of production and malleable active site makes the enzyme a desirable tool in the production of small molecule metabolites, especially for compounds that exhibit drug-like chemical properties. The engineering of select key residues within the BM3 active site vastly expands the catalytic repertoire, generating variants which can perform a range of modifications. This provides an attractive alternative route to the production of valuable compounds that are often laborious to synthesize via traditional organic means. Extensive studies have been conducted with the aim of engineering BM3 to expand metabolite production towards a comprehensive range of drug-like compounds, with many key examples found both in the literature and in the wider industrial bioproduction setting of desirable oxy-metabolite production by both wild-type BM3 and related variants. This review covers the past and current research on the engineering of BM3 to produce drug metabolites and highlights its crucial role in the future of biosynthetic pharmaceutical production.

Abstract
Computational studies are utilized to reveal factors that determine the site selectivity in toluene hydroxylation by cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYPs). The DFT-computed inherent barriers suggest that the priority of product formation is in the order of benzyl alcohol > ortho- ≈ para- > meta-cresol. However, the specific size and shape of the cavities at the active sites of different CYPs dramatically affect the binding orientation of toluene, and thus, the site selectivity can be reordered.

Abstract
Directed evolution methods based on high-throughput growth selection enable efficient discovery of enzymes with improved function in vivo. High-throughput selection is particularly useful when engineering oxygenases, which are sensitive to structural perturbations and prone to uncoupled activity. In this work, we combine the principle that reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by uncoupled oxygenase activity are detrimental to cell fitness with a redox balance-based growth selection method for oxygenase engineering that enables concurrent advancement in catalytic activity and coupling efficiency. As a proof-of-concept, we engineered P450-BM3 for degradation of acenaphthene (ACN), a recalcitrant environmental pollutant. Selection of site-saturation mutagenesis libraries in E. coli strain MX203 identified P450-BM3 variants GVQ-AL and GVQ-D222N, which have both improved coupling efficiency and catalytic activity compared to the starting variant. Computational modeling indicates that the discovered mutations cooperatively optimize binding pocket shape complementarity to ACN, and shift the protein's conformational dynamics to favor the lid-closed, catalytically competent state. We further demonstrated that the selective pressure on coupling efficiency can be tuned by modulating cellular ROS defense mechanisms.

Abstract
The regio- (and stereo-)selectivity and specific activity of cytochrome P450s are determined by the accessibility of potential sites of metabolism (SOMs) of the bound substrate relative to the heme, and the activation barrier of the regioselective oxidation reaction(s). The accessibility of potential SOMs depends on the relative binding free energy (ΔΔGbind ) of the catalytically active substrate-binding poses, and the probability of the substrate to adopt a transition-state geometry. An established experimental method to measure activation energies of enzymatic reactions is the analysis of reaction rate constants at different temperatures and the construction of Arrhenius plots. This is a challenge for multistep P450-catalyzed processes that involve redox partners. We introduce a modified Arrhenius approach to overcome the limitations in studying P450 selectivity, which can be applied in multiproduct enzyme catalysis. Our approach gives combined information on relative activation energies, ΔΔGbind values, and collision entropies, yielding direct insight into the basis of selectivity in substrate conversion.

Abstract
AbstractSteroids are the most widely marketed products by the pharmaceutical industry after antibiotics. Steroid hydroxylation is one of the most important functionalizations because their derivatives enable a higher biological activity compared to their less polar non-hydroxylated analogs. Bacterial cytochrome P450s constitute promising biocatalysts for steroid hydroxylation due to their high expression level in common workhorses like Escherichia coli. However, they often suffer from wrong or insufficient regio- and/or stereoselectivity, low activity, narrow substrate range as well as insufficient thermostability, which hampers their industrial application. Fortunately, these problems can be generally solved by protein engineering based on directed evolution and rational design. In this work, an overview of recent developments on the engineering of bacterial cytochrome P450s for steroid hydroxylation is presented.

Abstract
The cytochrome P450 enzymes are ubiquitous heme-thiolate proteins performing regioselective and stereoselective oxygenation reactions in cellular metabolism. Due to their broad substrate scope and catalytic versatility, P450 enzymes are also attractive candidates for many industrial and biopharmaceutical applications. For particular uses, enzyme properties of P450s can be further optimized through directed evolution, rational, and semi-rational engineering approaches, all of which introduce mutations within the P450 structures. In this review, we describe the recent applications of these P450 engineering approaches and highlight the key regions and residues that have been identified using such approaches. These “hotspots” lie within critical functional areas of the P450 structure, including the active site, the substrate access channel, and the redox partner interaction interface.

Structural insights into oxidation of medium-chain fatty acids and flavanone by myxobacterial cytochrome P450 CYP267B1. Biochem J 2018; 475:2801-2817.

Abstract
Oxidative biocatalytic reactions performed by cytochrome P450 enzymes (P450s) are of high interest for the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. CYP267B1 is a P450 enzyme from myxobacterium Sorangium cellulosum So ce56 displaying a broad substrate scope. In this work, a search for new substrates was performed, combined with product characterization and a structural analysis of substrate-bound complexes using X-ray crystallography and computational docking. The results demonstrate the ability of CYP267B1 to perform in-chain hydroxylations of medium-chain saturated fatty acids (decanoic acid, dodecanoic acid and tetradecanoic acid) and a regioselective hydroxylation of flavanone. The fatty acids are mono-hydroxylated at different in-chain positions, with decanoic acid displaying the highest regioselectivity towards ω-3 hydroxylation. Flavanone is preferably oxidized to 3-hydroxyflavanone. High-resolution crystal structures of CYP267B1 revealed a very spacious active site pocket, similarly to other P450s capable of converting macrocyclic compounds. The pocket becomes more constricted near to the heme and is closed off from solvent by residues of the F and G helices and the B-C loop. The crystal structure of the tetradecanoic acid-bound complex displays the fatty acid bound near to the heme, but in a nonproductive conformation. Molecular docking allowed modeling of the productive binding modes for the four investigated fatty acids and flavanone, as well as of two substrates identified in a previous study (diclofenac and ibuprofen), explaining the observed product profiles. The obtained structures of CYP267B1 thus serve as a valuable prediction tool for substrate hydroxylations by this highly versatile enzyme and will encourage future selectivity changes by rational protein engineering.

Abstract
Engineering high chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivity is a prerequisite for enzyme usage in organic synthesis. Cytochromes P450 can oxidize a broad range of substrates, including macrocycles, which are becoming popular scaffolds for therapeutic agents. However, a large conformational space explored by macrocycles not only reduces the selectivity of oxidation but also impairs computational enzyme design strategies based on docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. We present a novel design workflow that uses enhanced-sampling Hamiltonian replica exchange (HREX) MD and focuses on quantifying the substrate binding for suggesting the mutations to be made. This computational approach is applied to P450 BM3 with the aim to shift regioselectively toward one of the numerous possible positions during β-cembrenediol oxidation. The predictions are experimentally tested and the resulting product distributions validate our design strategy, as single mutations led up to 5-fold regioselectivity increases. We thus conclude that the HREX-MD-based workflow is a promising tool for the identification of positions for mutagenesis aiming at P450 enzymes with improved regioselectivity.

Abstract
The stereoselective oxidation of hydrocarbons is an area of research where enzyme biocatalysis can make a substantial impact. The cyclic ketone isophorone was stereoselectively hydroxylated (≥95%) by wild-type CYP102A1 to form (R)-4-hydroxyisophorone, an important chiral synthon and flavour and fragrance compound. CYP102A1 variants were also selective for 4-hydroxyisophorone formation and the product formation rate increased over the wild-type enzyme by up to 285-fold, with the best mutants being R47L/Y51F/I401P and A74G/F87V/L188Q. The latter variant, which contained mutations in the distal substrate binding pocket, was marginally less selective. Combining perfluorodecanoic acid decoy molecules with the rate accelerating variant R47L/Y51F/I401P engendered further improvement with the purified enzymes. However when the decoy molecules were used with A74G/F87V/L188Q the amount of product generated by the enzyme was reduced. Addition of decoy molecules to whole-cell turnovers did not improve the productivity of these CYP102A1 systems. WT CYP101A1 formed significant levels of 7-hydroxyisophorone as a minor product alongside 4-hydroxyisophorone. However the F87W/Y96F/L244A/V247L CYP101A1 mutant was ≥98% selective for (R)-4-hydroxyisophorone. A comparison of the two enzyme systems using whole-cell oxidation reactions showed that the best CYP101A1 variant was able to generate more product. We also characterised that the further oxidation metabolite 4-ketoisophorone was produced and then subsequently reduced to levodione by an endogenous Escherichia coli ene reductase.

Abstract
An enantioselective total synthesis of the norditerpenoid alkaloid nigelladine A is described. Strategically, the synthesis relies on a late-stage C-H oxidation of an advanced intermediate. While traditional chemical methods failed to deliver the desired outcome, an engineered cytochrome P450 enzyme was employed to effect a chemo- and regioselective allylic C-H oxidation in the presence of four oxidizable positions. The enzyme variant was readily identified from a focused library of three enzymes, allowing for completion of the synthesis without the need for extensive screening.

Abstract
The search of new substrates with pharmaceutical and industrial potential for biocatalysts including cytochrome P450 enzymes is always challenging. Cytochrome P450 BM3 mutant 139-3, a versatile biocatalyst, exhibited hydroxylation activities towards fatty acids and alkanes. However, there were limited reports about its hydroxylation activity towards steroids. Herein, an Escherichia coli–based whole-cell extract containing the recombinant 139-3 protein was used as the biocatalyst to screen 13 steroids. Results revealed that 139-3 was able to specifically hydroxylate androstenedione (1) at 1α-position, generating a hydroxylated steroid 1α-OH-androstenedione (1a). To investigate whether C-1α hydroxylation catalyzed by BM3 mutant 139-3 could be industrially used, an optimization of catalyzing conditions was performed. Accordingly, the BM3 mutant 139-3 enzyme was observed to display maximum activity at 37 °C, under pH 7.0 for 4 h, with 37% transformation rate. Moreover, four 139-3 variants were generated by random mutagenesis with the aim of improving its activity and expanding substrate scope. Surprisingly, these mutants, sharing a common mutated site R379S, lost their activities towards androstenedione (1). These data clearly indicated that arginine residue located at site 379 played key role in the hydroxylation activities of 139-3. Overall, these new findings broadened the substrate scope of 139-3 enzyme, thereby expanding its potential applications as a biocatalyst on steroids hydroxylation in pharmaceutical industry.

Abstract
Bioconjugation, defined as chemical modification of biomolecules, is widely employed in biological and biophysical studies. It can expand functional diversity and enable applications ranging from biocatalysis, biosensing and even therapy. This review summarizes how chemical modifications of cytochrome P450 enzymes (P450s or CYPs) have contributed to improving our understanding of these enzymes. Genetic modifications of P450s have also proven very useful but are not covered in this review. Bioconjugation has served to gain structural information and investigate the mechanism of P450s via photoaffinity labeling, mechanism-based inhibition (MBI) and fluorescence studies. P450 surface acetylation and protein cross-linking have contributed to the investigation of protein complexes formation involving P450 and its redox partner or other P450 enzymes. Finally, covalent immobilization on polymer surfaces or electrodes has benefited the areas of biocatalysis and biosensor design. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Cytochrome P450 biodiversity and biotechnology, edited by Erika Plettner, Gianfranco Gilardi, Luet Wong, Vlada Urlacher, Jared Goldstone.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 BM3 monooxygenases are able to catalyze the regio- and stereoselective oxygenation of a broad range of substrates, with promising potential for synthetic applications. To study the suitability of P450 BM3 variants for stereoselective benzylic hydroxylation of 2-alkylated benzoic acid esters, the biotransformation of methyl 2-ethylbenzoate, resulting in both enantiomeric forms of 3-methylphthalide, was investigated. In the case of methyl 2-propylbenzoate as a substrate the regioselectivity of the reaction was shifted towards β-hydroxylation, resulting in the synthesis of enantioenriched R- and S-configured 3-methylisochroman-1-one. The potential of P450 BM3 variants for regio- and stereoselective synthesis of phthalides and isocoumarins offers a new route to a class of compounds that are valuable synthons for a variety of natural compounds.

Abstract
A self-sufficient CYP102 family encoding gene (Krac_9955) has been identified from the bacterium Ktedonobacter racemifer DSM44963 which belongs to the Chloroflexi phylum. The characterisation of the substrate range of this enzyme was hampered by low levels of production using E. coli. The yield and purity of the Krac9555 enzyme was improved using a codon optimised gene, the introduction of a tag and modification of the purification protocol. The heme domain was isolated and in vitro analysis of substrate binding and turnover was performed. Krac9955 was found to preferentially bind alkyl- and alkyloxy-benzoic acids (≥95% high spin, Kd < 3 μM) over saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. Unusually for a self-sufficient CYP102 family member Krac9955 showed low levels of NAD(P)H oxidation activity for all the substrates tested though product formation was observed for many. For nearly all substrates the preferred site of hydroxylation of Krac9955 was eight carbons away from the carboxylate group with certain reactions proceeding at ≥ 90% selectivity. Krac9955 differs from CYP102A1 (P450Bm3), and is the first self-sufficient member of the CYP102 family of P450 enzymes which is not optimised for fast fatty acid hydroxylation close to the ω-terminus.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diols are important monomers for the production of plastics and polyurethanes, which are widely used in our daily life. The medium-chain diols with one hydroxyl group at its subterminal end are able to confer more flexibility upon the synthesized materials. But unfortunately, this type of diols has not been synthesized so far. The strong need for advanced materials impelled us to develop a new strategy for the production of these novel diols. In this study, we use the remodeled P450BM3 for high-specificity production of 1,7-decanediol. RESULTS The native P450BM3 was capable of converting medium-chain alcohols into corresponding α, ω1-, α, ω2- and α, ω3-diols, with each of them accounting for about one third of the total diols, but it exhibited a little or no activity on the short-chain alcohols. Greatly improved regiospecificity of alcohol hydroxylation was obtained by laboratory evolution of P450BM3. After substitution of 12 amino acid residues (J2-F87A), the ratio of 1,7-decanediol (ω-3 hydroxylation) to total decanediols increased to 86.8 % from 34.0 %. Structure modeling and site-directed mutagenesis demonstrated that the heme end residues such as Ala(78), Phe(87) and Arg(255) play a key role in controlling the regioselectivity of the alcohol hydroxylation, while the residues at the mouth of substrate binding site is not responsible for the regioselectivity. CONCLUSIONS Herein we employ an engineered P450BM3 for the first time to enable the high-specificity biosynthesis of 1,7-decanediol, which is a promising monomer for the development of advanced materials. Several key amino acid residues that control the regioselectivity of alcohol hydroxylation were identified, providing some new insights into how to improve the regiospecificity of alcohol hydroxylation. This report not only provides a good strategy for the biosynthesis of 1,7-decanediol, but also gives a promising approach for the production of other useful diols.

Abstract
This paper reports the structure of the double mutant Asp251Gly/Gln307His (named A2) generated by random mutagenesis, able to produce 4'-hydroxydiclofenac, 2-hydroxyibuprofen and 4-hydroxytolbutamide from diclofenac, ibuprofen and tolbutamide, respectively. The 3D structure of the substrate-free mutant shows a conformation similar to the closed one found in the substrate-bound wild type enzyme, but with a higher degree of disorder in the region of the G-helix and F-G loop. This is due to the mutation Asp251Gly that breaks the salt bridge between Aps251 on I-helix and Lys224 on G-helix, allowing the G-helix to move away from I-helix and conferring a higher degree of flexibility to this element. This subtle structural change is accompanied by long-range structural rearrangements of the active site with the rotation of Phe87 and a reorganization of catalytically important water molecules. The impact of these structural features on thermal stability, reduction potential and electron transfer is investigated. The data demonstrate that a single mutation far from the active site triggers an increase in protein flexibility in a key region, shifting the conformational equilibrium toward the closed form that is ready to accept electrons and enter the P450 catalytic cycle as soon as a substrate is accepted.

Abstract
As a single polypeptide, cytochrome P450 BM3 fuses oxidase and reductase domains and couples each domain's function to perform catalysis with exceptional activity upon binding of substrate for hydroxylation. Mutations introduced into the enzyme to change its substrate specificity often decrease coupling efficiency between the two domains, resulting in unproductive consumption of cofactors and formation of water and/or reactive species. This phenomenon can correlate with leakage, in which P450 BM3 uses electrons from NADPH to reduce oxygen to water and/or reactive species even without bound substrate. The physical basis for leakage is not yet well understood in this particular member of the cytochrome P450 family. To clarify the relationship between leakage and coupling, we used simulations to illustrate how different combinations of kinetic parameters related to substrate-free consumption of NADPH and substrate hydroxylation can lead to either minimal effects on coupling or a dramatic decrease in coupling as a result of leakage. We explored leakage in P450 BM3 by introducing leakage-enhancing mutations and combining these mutations to assess whether doing so increases leakage further. The variants in this study provide evidence that while a transition to high spin may be vital for coupled hydroxylation, it is not required for enhanced leakage; substrate binding and the consequent shift in spin state are not necessary as a redox switch for catalytic oxidation of NADPH. Additionally, the variants in this study suggest a tradeoff between leakage and stability and thus evolvability, as the mutations we investigated were far more deleterious than other mutations that have been used to change substrate specificity.

Abstract
There is intense interest in late-stage catalytic C-H bond functionalization as an integral part of synthesis. Effective catalysts must have a broad substrate range and tolerate diverse functional groups. Drug molecules provide a good test of these attributes of a catalyst. A library of P450BM3 mutants developed from four base mutants with high activity for hydrocarbon oxidation produced human metabolites of a panel of drugs that included neutral (chlorzoxazone, testosterone), cationic (amitriptyline, lidocaine) and anionic (diclofenac, naproxen) compounds. No single mutant was active for all the tested drugs but multiple variants in the library showed high activity with each compound. The high conversions enabled full product characterization that led to the discovery of the new P450 reaction type of oxidative decarboxylation of an α-hydroxy carboxylic acid and the formation a protected imine from an amine, offering a novel route to α-functionalization of amines. The substrate range and varied product profiles suggest that this library of enzymes is a good basis for developing late-stage C-H activation catalysts.
