Protein Engineering for Enhanced Acyltransferase Activity, Substrate Scope, and Selectivity of the Mycobacterium smegmatis Acyltransferase MsAcT

Abstract: The highly efficient and versatile acyltransferase MsAcT from Mycobacterium smegmatis catalyzes aqueous acyl transfer reactions, enabling applications in environmentally friendly processes and enzyme cascades. We rationally designed several variants with up to 30-fold increased acyl transfer to hydrolysis ratios while mostly retaining initial activity. Variants exhibiting broader acyl-donor substrate scope and higher or inverted enantioselectivity were also designed. Alterations of the catalytic His-Asp pair d… Show more

“…In that respect, variants with 30‐fold improved AT/H ratio (keeping the original enzymatic activity) have been reported [16b] . Likewise, other variants have shown an extended substrate scope (e. g., accepting acyl donors larger than acetate or butyrate), which can definitely broaden the range of future reactions [16b] . Notably, variants that harbor single and double mutations have been specially developed for asymmetric synthesis, given the fact that MsAcT wild‐type displays, in general, a modest stereoselectivity [10,16] .…”

“…An important aspect is to enhance the acyl transfer to hydrolysis ratio (AT/H) to diminish unwanted hydrolytic reactions, which are inevitably observed when an excess of ester accumulates. In that respect, variants with 30‐fold improved AT/H ratio (keeping the original enzymatic activity) have been reported [16b] . Likewise, other variants have shown an extended substrate scope (e. g., accepting acyl donors larger than acetate or butyrate), which can definitely broaden the range of future reactions [16b] .…”

“…Abgesehen von zwei Ausnahmen zeigten alle untersuchten Carboxylesterasen in Gegenwart von Benzylalkohol signifikant hçhere relative Aktivitäten als MsAcT und die zuvor charakterisierten bHSLs. [6,8] EstCE1 katalysiert den Acetyltransfer zu Benzylalkohol 66-mal schneller als die Hydrolyse des Acyldonors und übertrifft damit sogar eine der effizientesten MsAcT-Varianten (K97A; 50-mal schneller), über die unsere Gruppe kürzlich berichtete. [6] Bemerkenswert ist, dass EstM2 [15] die Acetylierung von Benzylalkohol sogar 149-mal schneller katalysiert als die Donor-Hydrolyse und damit etwa 20-mal effizienter als MsAcT ist.…”

“…Umfangreiches Protein-Engineering war im Falle von MsAcT notwendig, um das Substratspektrum für C8-Ketten zu erweitern, wobei selbst die beste Variante (F154A/I194V) ein AT/H-Verhältnis von unter 3 aufweist. [6] 3ZYT zeigt zwar keine Transacetylase-Aktivität, dafür aber moderate Acyltransferase-Aktivität in Reaktionen mit Acyldonoren zunehmender Kettenlängen (Tabelle S3). Dies kann durch die hydrophoben aliphatischen Ketten erklärt werden, die Wasser aus der Bindungstasche ausschließen und dadurch die Hydrolyse erschweren sowie die Bindung organischer Akzeptoren begünstigen.…”
