The direct hydration of C[dbnd]C bonds to yield alcohols or the reverse dehydration is chemically challenging but highly sought after. Recently, oleate hydratases (OAHs) gained attention as biocatalytic alternatives capable of hydrating isolated, non-activated C[dbnd]C bonds. Their natural reaction is the conversion of oleic acid to (R)-10-hydroxystearic acid. In this work, we report the first comparative study of several OAHs. Therefore we established the Hydratase Engineering Database (HyED) comprising 2046 putative OAHs from eleven homologous families and selected nine homologs for cloning in E. coli. The heterologously expressed enzymes were evaluated concerning activity and substrate specificity. The enzymes have a broad substrate scope ranging from oleic acid (C18) to the novel synthetic substrate (Z)-undec-9-enoic acid (C11). The OAHs from Elizabethkingia meningoseptica and Chryseobacterium gleum showed the best expression, highest stability and broadest substrate scope, making them interesting candidates for directed evolution to engineer them for the application as general hydratase catalysts.
A self-sufficient peroxide-driven hydroxylation biocatalyst
Cirino, Patrick C.,Arnold, Frances H.
, p. 3299 - 3301 (2003)
Directed evolution of the heme domain of cytochrome P450 BM-3 has resulted in a versatile, highly active peroxide-driven hydroxylation catalyst (see picture) that requires neither NADPH nor reductase and functions in a cell-free reaction system. This simplified, biomimetic catalyst is amenable to further optimization, for example, to improve stability or alter its substrate range.

The ability to selectively react one functional group in the presence of another underpins efficient reaction sequences. Despite many designer catalytic systems being reported for hydroboration reactions, which allow introduction of a functional handle fo

A putative fatty acid hydratase gene from Macrococcus caseolyticus was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant enzyme was a 68 kDa dimer with a molecular mass of 136 kDa. The enzymatic products formed from fatty acid substrates by the putative enzyme were isolated with high purity (>99%) by solvent fractional crystallization at low temperature. After the identification by GC-MS, the purified hydroxy fatty acids were used as standards to quantitatively determine specific activities and kinetic parameters for fatty acids as substrates. Among the fatty acids evaluated, specific activity and catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km) were highest for oleic acid, indicating that the putative fatty acid hydratase was an oleate hydratase. Hydration occurred only for cis-9-double and cis-12-double bonds of unsaturated fatty acids without any trans-configurations. The maximum activity for oleate hydration was observed at pH 6.5 and 25 °C with 2% (v/v) ethanol and 0.2 mM FAD. Without FAD, all catalytic activity was abolished. Thus, the oleate hydratase is an FAD-dependent enzyme. The residues G29, G31, S34, E50, and E56, which are conserved in the FAD-binding motif of fatty acid hydratases (GXGXXG(A/S)X(15-21)E(D)), were selected by alignment, and the spectral properties and kinetic parameters of their alanine-substituted variants were analyzed. Among the five variants, G29A, G31A, and E56A showed no interaction with FAD and exhibited no activity. These results indicate that G29, G31, and E56 are essential for FAD-binding.

The first systematic study of the complete cytochrome P450 complement (CYPome) of Sorangium cellulosum So ce56, which is a producer of important secondary metabolites and has the largest bacterial genome sequenced to date, is presented. We describe the bioinformatic analysis of the So ce56 cytochrome P450 complement consisting of 21 putative P450 genes. Because fatty acids play a pivotal role during the complex life cycle of myxobacteria, we focused our studies on the characterization of fatty acid hydroxylases. Three novel potential fatty acid hydroxylases (CYP109D1, CYP264A1, and CYP266A1) were used for detailed characterization. One of them, CYP109D1 was able to perform subterminal hydroxylation of saturated fatty acids with the support of two autologous and one heterologous electron transfer system(s). The kinetic parameters for the product hydroxylation were derived.
Regioselectivity and Activity of Cytochrome P450 BM-3 and Mutant F87A in Reactions Driven by Hydrogen Peroxide

Cytochrome P450 BM-3 (EC 1.14.14.1) is a monooxygenase that utilizes NADPH and dioxygen to hydroxylate fatty acids at subterminal positions. The enzyme is also capable of functioning as a peroxygenase in the same reaction, by utilizing hydrogen peroxide i
