E. coli Nickel-Iron Hydrogenase 1 Catalyses Non-native Reduction of Flavins: Demonstration for Alkene Hydrogenation by Old Yellow Enzyme Ene-reductases*.

ABSTRACT: A new activity for the [NiFe] uptake hydrogenase 1 of Escherichia coli (Hyd1) is presented. Direct reduction of biological flavin cofactors FMN and FAD is achieved using H₂ as a simple, completely atom-economical reductant. The robust nature of Hyd1 is exploited for flavin reduction across a broad range of temperatures (25-70 °C) and extended reaction times. The utility of this system as a simple, easy to implement FMNH₂ or FADH₂ regenerating system is then demonstrated by supplying reduced flavin to Old Yellow Enzyme "ene-reductases" to support asymmetric alkene reductions with up to 100 % conversion. Hyd1 turnover frequencies up to 20.4 min^-1 and total turnover numbers up to 20 200 were recorded during flavin recycling.

Alkene hydrogenation activity of enoate reductases for an environmentally benign biosynthesis of adipic acid.

Project description:Adipic acid, a precursor for Nylon-6,6 polymer, is one of the most important commodity chemicals, which is currently produced from petroleum. The biosynthesis of adipic acid from glucose still remains challenging due to the absence of biocatalysts required for the hydrogenation of unsaturated six-carbon dicarboxylic acids to adipic acid. Here, we demonstrate the first enzymatic hydrogenation of 2-hexenedioic acid and muconic acid to adipic acid using enoate reductases (ERs). ERs can hydrogenate 2-hexenedioic acid and muconic acid producing adipic acid with a high conversion rate and yield in vivo and in vitro. Purified ERs exhibit a broad substrate spectrum including aromatic and aliphatic 2-enoates and a significant oxygen tolerance. The discovery of the hydrogenation activity of ERs contributes to an understanding of the catalytic mechanism of these poorly characterized enzymes and enables the environmentally benign biosynthesis of adipic acid and other chemicals from renewable resources.

Alkene Metalates as Hydrogenation Catalysts.

Project description:First-row transition-metal complexes hold great potential as catalysts for hydrogenations and related reductive reactions. Homo- and heteroleptic arene/alkene metalates(1-) (M=Co, Fe) are a structurally distinct catalyst class with good activities in hydrogenations of alkenes and alkynes. The first syntheses of the heteroleptic cobaltates [K([18]crown-6)][Co(η4 -cod)(η2 -styrene)2 ] (5) and [K([18]crown-6)][Co(η4 -dct)(η4 -cod)] (6), and the homoleptic complex [K(thf)2 ][Co(η4 -dct)2 ] (7; dct=dibenzo[a,e]cyclooctatetraene, cod=1,5-cyclooctadiene), are reported. For comparison, two cyclopentadienylferrates(1-) were synthesized according to literature procedures. The isolated and fully characterized monoanionic complexes were competent precatalysts in alkene hydrogenations under mild conditions (2 bar H2 , r.t., THF). Mechanistic studies by NMR spectroscopy, ESI mass spectrometry, and poisoning experiments documented the operation of a homogeneous mechanism, which was initiated by facile redox-neutral π-ligand exchange with the substrates followed by H2 activation. The substrate scope of the investigated precatalysts was also extended to polar substrates (ketones and imines).

Selectivity through discriminatory induced fit enables switching of NAD(P)H coenzyme specificity in Old Yellow Enzyme ene-reductases.

Project description:Most ene-reductases belong to the Old Yellow Enzyme (OYE) family of flavin-dependent oxidoreductases. OYEs use nicotinamide coenzymes as hydride donors to catalyze the reduction of alkenes that contain an electron-withdrawing group. There have been many investigations of the structures and catalytic mechanisms of OYEs. However, the origin of coenzyme specificity in the OYE family is unknown. Structural NMR and X-ray crystallographic data were used to rationally design variants of two OYEs, pentaerythritol tetranitrate reductase (PETNR) and morphinone reductase (MR), to discover the basis of coenzyme selectivity. PETNR has dual-specificity and reacts with NADH and NADPH; MR accepts only NADH as hydride donor. Variants of a β-hairpin motif in an active site loop of both these enzymes were studied using stopped-flow spectroscopy. Specific attention was placed on the potential role of arginine residues within the β-hairpin motif. Mutagenesis demonstrated that Arg130 governs the preference of PETNR for NADPH, and that Arg142 interacts with the coenzyme pyrophosphate group. These observations were used to switch coenzyme specificity in MR by replacing either Glu134 or Leu146 with arginine residues. These variants had increased (~15-fold) affinity for NADH. Mutagenesis enabled MR to accept NADPH as a hydride donor, with E134R MR showing a significant (55-fold) increase in efficiency in the reductive half-reaction, when compared to the essentially unreactive wild-type enzyme. Insight into the question of coenzyme selectivity in OYEs has therefore been addressed through rational redesign. This should enable coenzyme selectivity to be improved and switched in other OYEs.

Cobalt-catalyzed alkene hydrogenation by reductive turnover.

Project description:Earth abundant metal catalysts hold advantages in cost, environmental burden and chemoselectivity over precious metal catalysts. Differences in reactivity for a given metal center result from ligand field strength, which can promote reaction through either open- or closed-shell carbon intermediates. Herein we report a simple protocol for cobalt-catalyzed alkene reduction. Instead of using an oxidative turnover mechanism that requires stoichiometric hydride, we find a reductive turnover mechanism that requires stoichiometric proton. The reaction mechanism appears to involve coordination and hydrocobaltation of terminal alkenes.

Asymmetric Reductive Carbocyclization Using Engineered Ene Reductases.

Project description:Ene reductases from the Old Yellow Enzyme (OYE) family reduce the C=C double bond in α,β-unsaturated compounds bearing an electron-withdrawing group, for example, a carbonyl group. This asymmetric reduction has been exploited for biocatalysis. Going beyond its canonical function, we show that members of this enzyme family can also catalyze the formation of C-C bonds. α,β-Unsaturated aldehydes and ketones containing an additional electrophilic group undergo reductive cyclization. Mechanistically, the two-electron-reduced enzyme cofactor FMN delivers a hydride to generate an enolate intermediate, which reacts with the internal electrophile. Single-site replacement of a crucial Tyr residue with a non-protic Phe or Trp favored the cyclization over the natural reduction reaction. The new transformation enabled the enantioselective synthesis of chiral cyclopropanes in up to >99 % ee.

Amidine dications: isolation and [Fe]-hydrogenase-related hydrogenation.

Project description:This communication demonstrates the preparation, isolation, and full characterization of superelectrophilic salts based on amidine dications in organic solvent, as their triflate salts. These dications are highly activated toward regiospecific reaction with hydrogen gas under mild conditions in the presence of a metal catalyst (Pd/C), mimicking the behavior of the natural substrate, N(5),N(10)-methenyltetrahydromethanopterin, in the iron-sulfur cluster-free [Fe]-hydrogenase.

Protonation of nickel-iron hydrogenase models proceeds after isomerization at nickel.

Project description:Theory and experiment indicate that the protonation of reduced NiFe dithiolates proceeds via a previously undetected isomer with enhanced basicity. In particular, it is proposed that protonation of (OC)3Fe(pdt)Ni(dppe) (1; pdt(2-) = (-)S(CH2)3S(-); dppe = Ph2P(CH2)2PPh2) occurs at the Fe site of the two-electron mixed-valence Fe(0)Ni(II) species, not the Fe(I)-Ni(I) bond for the homovalence isomer of 1. The new pathway, which may have implications for protonation of other complexes and clusters, was uncovered through studies on the homologous series L(OC)2Fe(pdt)M(dppe), where M = Ni, Pd (2), and Pt (3) and L = CO, PCy3. Similar to 1, complexes 2 and 3 undergo both protonation and 1e(-) oxidation to afford well-characterized hydrides ([2H](+) and [3H](+)) and mixed-valence derivatives ([2](+) and [3](+)), respectively. Whereas the Pd site is tetrahedral in 2, the Pt site is square-planar in 3, indicating that this complex is best described as Fe(0)Pt(II). In view of the results on 2 and 3, the potential energy surface of 1 was reinvestigated with density functional theory. These calculations revealed the existence of an energetically accessible and more basic Fe(0)Ni(II) isomer with a square-planar Ni site.

A biocompatible alkene hydrogenation merges organic synthesis with microbial metabolism.

Project description:Organic chemists and metabolic engineers use orthogonal technologies to construct essential small molecules such as pharmaceuticals and commodity chemicals. While chemists have leveraged the unique capabilities of biological catalysts for small-molecule production, metabolic engineers have not likewise integrated reactions from organic synthesis with the metabolism of living organisms. Reported herein is a method for alkene hydrogenation which utilizes a palladium catalyst and hydrogen gas generated directly by a living microorganism. This biocompatible transformation, which requires both catalyst and microbe, and can be used on a preparative scale, represents a new strategy for chemical synthesis that combines organic chemistry and metabolic engineering.

Design of a minimal di-nickel hydrogenase peptide.

Project description:Ancestral metabolic processes involve the reversible oxidation of molecular hydrogen by hydrogenase. Extant hydrogenase enzymes are complex, comprising hundreds of amino acids and multiple cofactors. We designed a 13-amino acid nickel-binding peptide capable of robustly producing molecular hydrogen from protons under a wide variety of conditions. The peptide forms a di-nickel cluster structurally analogous to a Ni-Fe cluster in [NiFe] hydrogenase and the Ni-Ni cluster in acetyl-CoA synthase, two ancient, extant proteins central to metabolism. These experimental results demonstrate that modern enzymes, despite their enormous complexity, likely evolved from simple peptide precursors on early Earth.
