ABSTRACT
Increasing demands for efficient and versatile chemical reactions have prompted innovations in enzyme engineering. A major challenge in engineering α-ketoglutarate-dependent oxygenases is to develop a rational strategy which can be widely used for directly evolving the desired mutant to generate new products. Herein, we report a strategy for rational redesign of a model enzyme, 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD), based on quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) calculation and molecular dynamic simulations. This strategy enriched our understanding of the HPPD catalytic reaction pathway and led to the discovery of a series of HPPD mutants producing hydroxyphenylacetate (HPA) as the alternative product other than the native product homogentisate. The predicted HPPD-Fe(IV)âO-HPA intermediate was further confirmed by the crystal structure of Arabidopsis thaliana HPPD/S267W complexed with HPA. These findings not only provide a good understanding of the structure-function relationship of HPPD but also demonstrate a generally applicable platform for the development of biocatalysts.
