Huge enhanced activity of the alditol oxidase by a novel method based on
the mechanically interlocked dimmer synthesized in vivo
Abstract
Topology engineering is an attractive approach for tailoring protein
properties without varying their native sequences. To explore whether
concatenation allow, Herein, we report a dramatic improvement of
catalytic efficiencies of alditol oxidase by catenanes assisted by
synergy between mechanically interlocking p53dim and highly efficient
SpyTag/SpyCathcher cyclization. Mechanical interlocking leads to
considerable activity enhancement than that achieved by point mutation.
Kinetic analysis demonstrates that the substrates affinity and catalytic
efficiency of alditol oxdiase catenanes(catAldO) towards glycerol
respectively have 6.7-fold and 5.5-fold improvement compared with the
wild-type AldO. We envisioned that mechanically interlocked alditol
oxidase may shorten the transfer distance of electrons between
subdormains and accelerate FAD cofactor redox regeneration, thus
improving enzyme catalytic activity. Surprisingly, concatenation of
alditol oxidase not only increase the catalytic efficiency towards
glycerol, but also exhibit a broad biocatalytic reinforcement.
Mechanical interlocking provides a convenient and efficient approach for
multi-domains enzyme concatenation, with potential to greatly enhance
the catalytic efficiency of biocatalysts. It needs more verification in
other enzymes.
