Enzyme redesign guided by cancer-derived IDH1 mutations

Abstract: Mutations in an enzyme can result in a neomorphic catalytic activity in cancers. We applied cancer-associated mutations from isocitrate dehydrogenases (IDHs) to homologous residues in the active sites of homoisocitrate dehydrogenases (HIDHs) to derive enzymes that catalyze the conversion of 2-oxoadipate to (R)-2-hydroxyadipate, a critical step for adipic acid production. Thus, we provide a prototypic example of how insights from cancer genome sequencing and functional studies can aid in enzyme redesign.

“…Indeed, mammalian carboxylation needs ATP and biotin for the CO 2 activation, and carboxylation of 2-oxoglutarate by the recombinant tumor mutants of isocitrate dehydrogenase has never been observed, even if the mutants do reduce 2-oxoglutarate to 2-hydroxyglutarate [ 26 ]. Analogous mutants of the isocitrate dehydrogenase homolog oxidizing homoisocitrate did not catalyze the carboxylation reaction either [ 64 ]. Our findings provide experimental evidence for the functional importance of the OGDH-dependent turnover of the TCA cycle in cancer cells, clearly showing that homeostasis of different types of tumor cells, including the most malignant glioblastoma cells, is significantly perturbed upon inhibition of oxidative decarboxylation of 2-oxoglutarate.…”

“…170 However, several enzymatic transformations are currently being developed that could pave the way towards a completely biological synthesis method. [171][172][173] A consideration of the biotechnological production of AA, as well as the metabolic pathways leading to its precursors, has recently been reviewed by Polen et al 174…”

“…However, the effi cient production of a key enzyme activity, 2-hydroxyadipate dehydrogenase, required for this process has been lacking. By translating the cancer-associated gain-of-function mutations in the IDH enzymes to the related Saccharomyces cerevisiae homoisocitrate dehydrogenase enzyme, investigators were able to reengineer this protein to catalyze the required reaction and produce chirally pure (R)-2-hydroxyadipic acid ( 15 ). It remains to be seen whether this approach will enable the cost-effective and scalable fossil fuel-independent production of this key chemical.…”
