Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 264:130612. [PMID: 38447845 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.130612] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2023] [Revised: 02/18/2024] [Accepted: 03/02/2024] [Indexed: 03/08/2024]
Abstract
Effective photolytic regeneration of the NAD(P)H cofactor in enzymatic reductions is an important and elusive goal in biocatalysis. It can, in principle, be achieved using a near-infrared light (NIR) driven artificial photosynthesis system employing H2O as the sacrificial reductant. To this end we utilized TiO2/reduced graphene quantum dots (r-GQDs), combined with a novel rhodium electron mediator, to continuously supply NADPH in situ for aldo-keto reductase (AKR) mediated asymmetric reductions under NIR irradiation. This upconversion system, in which the Ti-O-C bonds formed between r-GQDs and TiO2 enabled efficient interfacial charge transfer, was able to regenerate NADPH efficiently in 64 % yield in 105 min. Based on this, the pharmaceutical intermediate (R)-1-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)ethan-1-ol was obtained, in 84 % yield and 99.98 % ee, by reduction of the corresponding ketone. The photo-enzymatic system is recyclable with a polymeric electron mediator, which maintained 66 % of its original catalytic efficiency and excellent enantioselectivity (99.9 % ee) after 6 cycles.

Abstract
Biodegradation of insoluble biomass such as cellulose via carbohydrase enzymes is an effective approach to break down plant cell walls and extract valuable materials therein. Yet, the high cost and poor reusability of enzymes are practical concerns. We recently proved that immobilizing multiple digestive enzymes on metal-organic materials (MOMs) allows enzymes to be reused via gravimetric separation, improving the cost efficiency of cereal biomass degradation [ACS Appl. Mater. Interfaces 2021, 13, 36, 43085-43093]. However, this strategy cannot be adapted for enzymes whose substrates or products are insoluble (e.g., cellulose crystals). Recently, we described an alternative approach based on magnetic metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) using model enzymes/substrates [ACS Appl. Mater. Interfaces 2020, 12, 37, 41794-41801]. Here, we aim to prove the effectiveness of combining these two strategies in cellulose degradation. We immobilized multiple carbohydrase enzymes that cooperate in cellulose degradation via cocrystallization with Ca2+, a carboxylate ligand (BDC) in the absence and presence of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). We then compared the separation efficiency and enzyme reusability of the resultant multienzyme@Ca-BDC and multienzyme@MNP-Ca-BDC composites via gravimetric and magnetic separation, respectively, and found that, although both composites were effective in cellulose degradation in the first round, the multienzyme@MNP-Ca-BDC composites displayed significantly enhanced reusability. This work provides the first experimental demonstration of using magnetic solid supports to immobilize multiple carbohydrase enzymes simultaneously and degrade cellulose and promotes green/sustainable chemistry in three ways: (1) reusing the enzymes saves energy/sources to prepare them, (2) the synthetic conditions are "green" without generating unwanted wastes, and (3) using our composites to degrade cellulose is the first step of extracting valuable materials from sustainable biomasses such as plants whose growth does not rely on nonregeneratable resources.

Abstract
One-pot cascade reactions of coupled disaccharide phosphorylases enable an efficient transglycosylation via intermediary α-d-glucose 1-phosphate (G1P). Such transformations have promising applications in the production of carbohydrate commodities, including the disaccharide cellobiose for food and feed use. Several studies have shown sucrose and cellobiose phosphorylase for cellobiose synthesis from sucrose, but the boundaries on transformation efficiency that result from kinetic and thermodynamic characteristics of the individual enzyme reactions are not known. Here, we assessed in a step-by-step systematic fashion the practical requirements of a kinetic model to describe cellobiose production at industrially relevant substrate concentrations of up to 600 mM sucrose and glucose each. Mechanistic initial-rate models of the two-substrate reactions of sucrose phosphorylase (sucrose + phosphate → G1P + fructose) and cellobiose phosphorylase (G1P + glucose → cellobiose + phosphate) were needed and additionally required expansion by terms of glucose inhibition, in particular a distinctive two-site glucose substrate inhibition of the cellobiose phosphorylase (from Cellulumonas uda). Combined with mass action terms accounting for the approach to equilibrium, the kinetic model gave an excellent fit and a robust prediction of the full reaction time courses for a wide range of enzyme activities as well as substrate concentrations, including the variable substoichiometric concentration of phosphate. The model thus provides the essential engineering tool to disentangle the highly interrelated factors of conversion efficiency in the coupled enzyme reaction; and it establishes the necessary basis of window of operation calculations for targeted optimizations toward different process tasks.

Abstract
Phenyllactic acid (PLA), a natural antimicrobial substance, has many potential applications in the food, animal feed, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. However, its production is limited by the complex reaction steps involved in its chemical synthesis. Through advances in metabolic engineering and synthetic biology strategies, enzymatic or whole-cell catalysis was developed as an alternative method for PLA production. Herein, we review recent developments in metabolic engineering and synthetic biology strategies that promote the microbial production of high-value PLA. Specially, the advantages and disadvantages of the using of the three kinds of substrates, which includes phenylpyruvate, phenylalanine and glucose as starting materials by natural or engineered microbes is summarized. Notably, the bio-conversion of PLA often requires the consumption of expensive coenzyme NADH. To overcome the issues of NADH regeneration, efficiently internal cofactor regeneration systems constructed by co-expressing different enzyme combinations composed of lactate dehydrogenase with others for enhancing the PLA production, as well as their possible improvements, are discussed. In particular, the construction of fusion proteins with different linkers can achieve higher PLA yield and more efficient cofactor regeneration than that of multi-enzyme co-expression. Overall, this review provides a comprehensive overview of PLA biosynthesis pathways and strategies for increasing PLA yield through biotechnology, providing future directions for the large-scale commercial production of PLA and the expansion of downstream applications.

Abstract
Biofilms are promising candidates for sustainable bioprocessing applications. This work presents a rational design of biofilm catalysts by integrating extra- and intracellular catalysis systems with optimized substrate channeling to realize efficient multistep biosynthesis. An assembly of four enzymes in a "three-in-one" structure was achieved by rationally placing the enzymes on curli nanofibers, the cell surface, and inside cells. The catalytic efficiency of the biofilm catalysts was over 2.8 folds higher than that of the control whole-cell catalysis when the substrate benzaldehyde was fed at 100 mm. The highest yield of d-phenyllactic acid catalyzed by biofilm catalysts under optimized conditions was 102.19 mm, also much higher than that of the control catalysis test (52.29 mm). The results demonstrate that engineered biofilms are greatly promising in integrating extra- and intracellular catalysis, illustrating great potentials of rational design in constructing biofilm catalysts as sustainable supports for whole-cell catalysis.

Abstract
The biosynthetic production of D-penyllactic acid (D-PLA) is often affected by insufficient supply and regeneration of cofactors, leading to high production cost, and difficulty in industrialization. In this study, a D-lactate dehydrogenase (D-LDH) and glycerol dehydrogenase (GlyDH) co-expression system was constructed to achieve coenzyme NADH self-sufficiency and sustainable production of D-PLA. Using glycerol and sodium phenylpyruvate (PPA) as co-substrate, the E. coli BL21 (DE3) harboring a plasmid to co-express LfD-LDH and BmGlyDH produced 3.95 g/L D-PLA with a yield of 0.78 g/g PPA, similar to previous studies. Then, flexible linkers were used to construct fusion proteins composing of D-LDH and GlyDH. Under the optimal conditions, 5.87 g/L D-PLA was produced by expressing LfD-LDH-l3-BmGlyDH with a yield of 0.97 g/g PPA, which was 59.3% increased compared to expression of LfD-LDH. In a scaled-up reaction, a productivity of 5.83 g/L/h was reached. In this study, improving the bio-catalytic efficiency by artificial redox self-equilibrium system with a bifunctional fusion protein could reduce the bio-production cost of D-PLA, making this bio-production of D-PLA a more promising industrial technology.

Abstract
Multiple-enzyme cooperation simultaneously is an effective approach to biomass conversion and biodegradation. The challenge, however, lies in the interference of the involved enzymes with each other, especially when a protease is needed, and thus, the difficulty in reusing the enzymes; while extracting/synthesizing new enzymes costs energy and negative impact on the environment. Here, we present a unique approach to immobilize multiple enzymes, including a protease, on a metal-organic material (MOM) via co-precipitation in order to enhance the reusability and sustainability. We prove our strategy on the degradation of starch-containing polysaccharides (require two enzymes to degrade) and food proteins (require a protease to digest) before the quantification of total dietary fiber. As compared to the widely adopted "official" method, which requires the sequential addition of three enzymes under different conditions (pH/temperature), the three enzymes can be simultaneously immobilized on the surface of our MOM crystals to allow for contact with the large substrates (starch), while MOMs offer sufficient protection to the enzymes so that the reusability and long-term storage are improved. Furthermore, the same biodegradation can be carried out without adjusting the reaction condition, further reducing the reaction time. Remarkably, the simultaneous presence of all enzymes enhances the reaction efficiency by a factor of ∼3 as compared to the official method. To our best knowledge, this is the first experimental demonstration of using aqueous-phase co-precipitation to immobilize multiple enzymes for large-substrate biocatalysis. The significantly enhanced efficiency can potentially impact the food industry by reducing the labor requirement and enhancing enzyme cost efficiency, leading to reduced food cost. The reduced energy cost of extracting enzymes and adjusting reaction conditions minimize the negative impact on the environment. The strategy to prevent protease damage in a multi-enzyme system can be adapted to other biocatalytic reactions involving proteases.

Abstract
Capsule polymers are crucial virulence factors of pathogenic bacteria and are used as antigens in glycoconjugate vaccine formulations. Some Gram-negative pathogens express poly(glycosylglycerol phosphate) capsule polymers that resemble Gram-positive wall teichoic acids and are synthesized by TagF-like capsule polymerases. So far, the biotechnological use of these enzymes for vaccine developmental studies was restricted by the unavailability of enantiopure CDP-glycerol, one of the donor substrates required for polymer assembly. Here, we use CTP:glycerol-phosphate cytidylyltransferases (GCTs) and TagF-like polymerases to synthesize the poly(glycosylglycerol phosphate) capsule polymer backbones of the porcine pathogen Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, serotypes 3 and 7 (App3 and App7). GCT activity was confirmed by high-performance liquid chromatography, and polymers were analyzed using comprehensive nuclear magnetic resonance studies. Solid-phase synthesis protocols were established to allow potential scale-up of polymer production. In addition, one-pot reactions exploiting glycerol-kinase allowed us to start the reaction from inexpensive, widely available substrates. Finally, this study highlights that multidomain TagF-like polymerases can be transformed by mutagenesis of active site residues into single-action transferases, which in turn can act in trans to build-up structurally new polymers. Overall, our protocols provide enantiopure, nature-identical capsule polymer backbones from App2, App3, App7, App9, and App11, Neisseria meningitidis serogroup H, and Bibersteinia trehalosi serotypes T3 and T15. IMPORTANCE Economic synthesis platforms for the production of animal vaccines could help reduce the overuse and misuse of antibiotics in animal husbandry, which contributes greatly to the increase of antibiotic resistance. Here, we describe a highly versatile, easy-to-use mix-and-match toolbox for the generation of glycerol-phosphate-containing capsule polymers that can serve as antigens in glycoconjugate vaccines against Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae and Bibersteinia trehalosi, two pathogens causing considerable economic loss in the swine, sheep, and cattle industries. We have established scalable protocols for the exploitation of a versatile enzymatic cascade with modular architecture, starting with the preparative-scale production of enantiopure CDP-glycerol, a precursor for a multitude of bacterial surface structures. Thereby, our approach not only allows the synthesis of capsule polymers but might also be exploitable for the (chemo)enzymatic synthesis of other glycerol-phosphate-containing structures such as Gram-positive wall teichoic acids or lipoteichoic acids.

Hybrid chemoenzymatic heterogeneous catalyst prepared in one step from zeolite nanocrystals and enzyme-polyelectrolyte complexes. NANOSCALE ADVANCES 2021; 3:1646-1655. [PMID: 36132563 PMCID: PMC9417918 DOI: 10.1039/d0na00834f] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2020] [Revised: 03/25/2021] [Accepted: 01/30/2021] [Indexed: 05/04/2023]
Abstract
The combination of inorganic heterogeneous catalysts and enzymes, in so-called hybrid chemoenzymatic heterogeneous catalysts (HCEHCs), is an attractive strategy to effectively run chemoenzymatic reactions. Yet, the preparation of such bifunctional materials remains challenging because both the inorganic and the biological moieties must be integrated in the same solid, while preserving their intrinsic activity. Combining an enzyme and a zeolite, for example, is complicated because the pores of the zeolite are too small to accommodate the enzyme and a covalent anchorage on the surface is often ineffective. Herein, we developed a new pathway to prepare a nanostructured hybrid catalyst built from glucose oxidase and TS-1 zeolite. Such hybrid material can catalyse the in situ biocatalytic formation of H2O2, which is subsequently used by the zeolite to trigger the epoxidation of allylic alcohol. Starting from an enzymatic solution and a suspension of zeolite nanocrystals, the hybrid catalyst is obtained in one step, using a continuous spray drying method. While enzymes are expectedly unable to resist the conditions used in spray drying (temperature, shear stress, etc.), we leverage on the preparation of "enzyme-polyelectrolyte complexes" (EPCs) to increase the enzyme stability. Interestingly, the use of EPCs also prevents enzyme leaching and appears to stabilize the enzyme against pH changes. We show that the one-pot preparation by spray drying gives access to hybrid chemoenzymatic heterogeneous catalysts with unprecedented performance in the targeted chemoenzymatic reaction. The bifunctional catalyst performs much better than the two catalysts operating as separate entities. We anticipate that this strategy could be used as an adaptable method to prepare other types of multifunctional materials starting from a library of functional nanobuilding blocks and biomolecules.

Abstract
A new example of the reactivity of enals with benzoylnitromethane was studied in a Michael-Michael-Aldol-Dehydration quadruple organocascade reaction. The reaction unexpectedly yielded a tetrasubstituted cyclohexene carbaldehyde with excellent enantiomeric excess when crotonaldehyde was used as the Michael-acceptor, whereas using (E)-Hex-2-enal as the Michael-acceptor formed a cyclic hemiacetal by steering the reaction into the intramolecular formation of the same intermediate via a Michael-Heterocyclization domino reaction.

Abstract
The integration of biocatalysis with chemocatalysis combines the excellent selectivity of the former with the robust reactivity of the latter and offers many advantages, such as lower cost, higher yield, enhanced selectivity, as well as less waste generation. In spite of the challenge of incompatibilities between different classes of catalysts, recent advances in synthetic chemistry and biology provide ample opportunities for multistep cascade transformations that combine biocatalysis and chemocatalysis. Herein, we review recent progress in merging biocatalysis with chemocatalysis, highlighting selected examples of photo-/electricity-driven biotransformations and recently developed strategies for addressing the catalyst incompatibility issue.

Cu(II) and magnetite nanoparticles decorated melamine-functionalized chitosan: A synergistic multifunctional catalyst for sustainable cascade oxidation of benzyl alcohols/Knoevenagel condensation.

Abstract
The uniform decoration of Cu(II) species and magnetic nanoparticles on the melamine-functionalized chitosan afforded a new supramolecular biopolymeric nanocomposite (Cs-Pr-Me-Cu(II)-Fe3O4). The morphology, structure, and catalytic activity of the Cs-Pr-Me-Cu(II)-Fe3O4 nanocomposite have been systematically investigated. It was found that Cs-Pr-Me-Cu(II)-Fe3O4 nanocomposite can smoothly promote environmentally benign oxidation of different benzyl alcohol derivatives by tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) to their corresponding benzaldehydes and subsequent Knoevenagel condensation with malononitrile, as a multifunctional catalyst. Interestingly, Fe3O4 nanoparticles enhance the catalytic activity of Cu(II) species. The corresponding benzylidenemalononitriles were formed in high to excellent yields at ambient pressure and temperature. The heterogeneous Cs-Pr-Me-Cu(II)-Fe3O4 catalyst was also very stable with almost no leaching of the Cu(II) species into the reaction medium and could be easily recovered by an external magnet. The recycled Cs-Pr-Me-Cu(II)-Fe3O4 was reused at least four times with slight loss of its activity. This is a successful example of the combination of chemo- and bio-drived materials catalysis for mimicing biocatalysis as well as sustainable and one pot multistep synthesis.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to develop an environmentally safe and efficient method for phenyllactic acid (PLA) production using whole-cell cascade catalysis with l-amino acid deaminase (l-AAD), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and formate dehydrogenase (FDH). The PPA titer was low due to relatively low expression of LDH, intermediate accumulation, and lack of cofactors. To address this issue, ribosome binding site regulation, gene duplication, and induction optimization were performed to increased the PLA titer to 43.8 g/L. Then co-substrates (glucose, yeast extract, and glycerol) were used to increase NADH concentration and cell stability, resulting that the PLA titer was increased to 54.0 g/L, which is the highest reported production by biocatalyst. Finally, glucose was replaced with wheat straw hydrolysate as co-substrate to decrease the cost. Notably, the strategies reported herein may be generally applicable to other whole-cell cascade biocatalysts.

Abstract
Electrostatic channeling is a naturally occurring approach to control the flux of charged intermediates in catalytic cascades. Computational techniques have enabled quantitative understanding of such mechanisms, augmenting experimental approaches by modeling molecular interactions in atomic detail. In this work, we report the first utilization of a Markov-state model (MSM) to describe the surface diffusion of a reaction intermediate, glucose 6-phosphate, on an artificially modified cascade where hexokinase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase are covalently conjugated by a cationic oligopeptide bridge. Conformation space networks are used to represent intermediate transport on enzyme surfaces, along with committor probabilities that assess the desorption probability of the intermediate on each segment of the channeling pathway. For the region between the peptide bridge and downstream active site, the ionic strength dependence of desorption probability by MSM agreed well with that by transition state theory. A kinetic Monte Carlo model integrates parameters from different computational methods to evaluate the contribution of desorption during each step. The approach is validated by calculation of kinetic lag time, which agrees well with experimental results. These results further demonstrate the applicability of molecular simulations and advanced sampling techniques to the design of chemical networks.

Abstract
![]()
A unique P450 monooxygenase–peroxygenase
mutual benefit
system was designed as the core element in the construction of a biocatalytic
cascade reaction sequence leading from 3-phenyl propionic acid to
(R)-phenyl glycol. In this system, P450 monooxygenase
(P450-BM3) and P450 peroxygenase (OleTJE) not only function
as catalysts for the crucial initial reactions, they also ensure an
internal in situ H2O2 recycle mechanism that
avoids its accumulation and thus prevents possible toxic effects.
By directed evolution of P450-BM3 as the catalyst in the enantioselective
epoxidation of the styrene-intermediate, formed from 3-phenyl propionic
acid, and the epoxide hydrolase ANEH for final hydrolytic ring opening,
(R)-phenyl glycol and 9 derivatives thereof were
synthesized from the respective carboxylic acids in one-pot processes
with high enantioselectivity.

Abstract
Biocatalysis is emerging as an alternative approach to chemical synthesis of industrially relevant complex molecules. To obtain suitable yields of compounds in a cost-effective manner, biocatalytic reaction cascades must be efficient, robust, and self-sufficient. One approach is to immobilize biocatalysts on a solid support, stabilizing the enzymes and providing optimal microenvironments for reaction sequences. Protein-based scaffolds can be designed as immobilization platforms for biocatalysts, enabling the genetically encoded spatial organization of single enzymes and multistep enzyme cascades. Additionally, protein scaffolds are versatile, are easily adapted, and remain robust under different reaction conditions. In this chapter, we describe methods for the design and production of a self-assembling protein scaffold system for in vitro coimmobilization of biocatalytic cascade enzymes. We provide detailed methods for the characterization of the protein scaffolds, as well as approaches to load biocatalytic cargo enzymes and test activity of immobilized cascades. In addition, we also discuss methods for the development of a scaffold building block toolbox with different surface properties, which could be adapted for a diversity of biocatalysts requiring alternative microenvironments for function.

Abstract
Artificial cascade reactions involving biocatalysts have demonstrated a tremendous potential during the recent years. This review just focuses on selected examples of the last year and putting them into context to a previously published suggestion for classification. Subdividing the cascades according to the number of catalysts in the linear sequence, and classifying whether the steps are performed simultaneous or in a sequential fashion as well as whether the reaction sequence is performed in vitro or in vivo allows to organise the concepts. The last year showed, that combinations of in vivo as well as in vitro are possible. Incompatible reaction steps may be run in a sequential fashion or by compartmentalisation of the incompatible steps either by using special reactors (membrane), polymersomes or flow techniques.

Abstract
Living organisms rely on simultaneous reactions catalysed by mutually compatible and selective enzymes to synthesize complex natural products and other metabolites. To combine the advantages of these biological systems with the reactivity of artificial chemical catalysts, chemists have devised sequential, concurrent, and cooperative chemoenzymatic reactions that combine enzymatic and artificial catalysts1-9. Cooperative chemoenzymatic reactions consist of interconnected processes that generate products in yields and selectivities that cannot be obtained when the two reactions are carried out sequentially with their respective substrates2,7. However, such reactions are difficult to develop because chemical and enzymatic catalysts generally operate in different media at different temperatures and can deactivate each other1-9. Owing to these constraints, the vast majority of cooperative chemoenzymatic processes that have been reported over the past 30 years can be divided into just two categories: chemoenzymatic dynamic kinetic resolutions of racemic alcohols and amines, and enzymatic reactions requiring the simultaneous regeneration of a cofactor2,4,5. New approaches to the development of chemoenzymatic reactions are needed to enable valuable chemical transformations beyond this scope. Here we report a class of cooperative chemoenzymatic reaction that combines photocatalysts that isomerize alkenes with ene-reductases that reduce carbon-carbon double bonds to generate valuable enantioenriched products. This method enables the stereoconvergent reduction of E/Z mixtures of alkenes or reduction of the unreactive stereoisomers of alkenes in yields and enantiomeric excesses that match those obtained from the reduction of the pure, more reactive isomers. The system affords a range of enantioenriched precursors to biologically active compounds. More generally, these results show that the compatibility between photocatalysts and enzymes enables chemoenzymatic processes beyond cofactor regeneration and provides a general strategy for converting stereoselective enzymatic reactions into stereoconvergent ones.
