Publication Abstract from PubMed The non-natural alcohol 1,3-butanediol (1,3-BDO) is a valuable building block for the synthesis of various polymers. One of the potential pathways for the biosynthesis of 1,3-BDO includes the biotransformation of acetaldehyde to 1,3-BDO via 3-hydroxybutanal (3-HB) using aldolases and aldo-keto reductases. This pathway requires an aldo-keto reductase (AKR) selective for 3-HB, but inactive toward acetaldehyde, so it can be used for one pot synthesis. In this work, we screened over 20 purified uncharacterized AKRs for 3-HB reduction and identified 10 enzymes with significant activity and nine proteins with detectable activity. PA1127 from Pseudomonas aeruginosa showed the highest activity and was selected for comparative studies with STM2406 from Salmonella typhimurium, for which we have determined the crystal structure. Both AKRs used NADPH as cofactor, reduced a broad range of aldehydes, and showed low activity toward acetaldehyde. The crystal structures of STM2406 in complex with cacodylate or NADPH revealed the active site with bound molecules of a substrate mimic or cofactor. Site-directed mutagenesis of STM2406 and PA1127 identified the key residues important for activity against 3-HB and aromatic aldehydes, which include the residues of the substrate binding pocket and C-terminal loop. Our results revealed that the replacement of the STM2406 Asn65 by Met enhanced both activity and affinity of this protein toward 3-HB resulting in a seven-fold increase in kcat/Km Our work provided further insights into the molecular mechanisms of substrate selectivity of AKRs and rational design of these enzymes towards new substrates. IMPORTANCE: In this study, we identified several aldo-keto reductases with significant activity in the reduction of 3-hydroxybutanal to 1,3-BDO, an important commodity chemical. Biochemical and structural studies of these enzymes revealed the key catalytic and substrate binding residues including the two structural determinants necessary for high activity in the biosynthesis of 1,3-BDO. This work expands our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of substrate selectivity of AKRs and the potential for protein engineering of these enzymes for applications in the biocatalytic production of 1,3-BDO and other valuable chemicals.
