Class I benzoyl-CoA (BzCoA) reductases (BCRs) are key enzymes in the anaerobic degradation of aromatic compounds. They catalyze the ATP-dependent reduction of the central BzCoA intermediate and analogues of it to conjugated cyclic 1,5-dienoyl-CoAs probably by a radical-based, Birch-like reduction mechanism. Discovered in 1995, the enzyme from the denitrifying bacterium Thauera aromatica (BCRTar) has so far remained the only isolated and biochemically accessible BCR, mainly because BCRs are extremely labile, and their heterologous production has largely failed so far. Here, we describe a platform for the heterologous expression of the four structural genes encoding a designated 3-methylbenzoyl-CoA reductase from the related denitrifying species Thauera chlorobenzoica (MBRTcl) in Escherichia coli. This reductase represents the prototype of a distinct subclass of ATP-dependent BCRs that were proposed to be involved in the degradation of methyl-substituted BzCoA analogues. The recombinant MBRTcl had an αβγδ-subunit architecture, contained three low-potential [4Fe- 4S] clusters, and was highly oxygen-labile. It catalyzed the ATPdependent reductive dearomatization of BzCoA with 2.3-2.8 ATPs hydrolyzed per two electrons transferred and preferentially dearomatized methyl- and chloro-substituted analogues in meta- and para-positions. NMR analyses revealed that 3-methylbenzoyl-CoA is regioselectively reduced to 3-methyl- 1,5-dienoyl-CoA. The unprecedented reductive dechlorination of 4-chloro-BzCoA toBzCoAprobably via HCl elimination from a reduced intermediate allowed for the previously unreported growth of T. chlorobenzoica on 4-chlorobenzoate. The heterologous expression platform established in this work enables the production, isolation, and characterization of bacterial and archaeal BCR and BCR-like radical enzymes, for many of which the function has remained unknown.

A chemoenzymatic approach to generate fully functional acyl coenzyme A molecules that are then used as substrates to drive in situ acyl transfer reactions is described. Mass spectrometry based assays to verify the identity of acyl coenzyme A enzymatic products are also illustrated. The approach is responsive to a diverse array of carboxylic acids that can be elaborated to their corresponding coenzyme A thioesters, with potential applications in wide-ranging chemical biology studies that utilize acyl coenzyme A substrates.

The present invention relates to a novel synthesis method for acyl-pantetheine derivatives. The present invention further relates to the use of said synthesized acyl-pantetheine derivatives as a starting material in the enzymatic synthesis of acyl-coenzyme A derivatives. According to a first aspect thereof, the present invention provides a method for the synthesis of acyl-pantetheine derivatives, the method including the steps of: a) providing a source of pantetheine; b) providing a source of acyl ester; and c) contacting the source of pantetheine with the source of acyl ester to form the corresponding acyl-pantetheine derivative, having the general formula (I), wherein R is an acyl group.The present invention also provides a method for the synthesis of acyl-coenzyme A derivatives as well as the use of a source of pantetheine and a source of acyl ester in the preparation steps of these two methods.
