Engineering Enzyme Substrate Scope Complementarity for Promiscuous Cascade Synthesis of 1,2‐Amino Alcohols

Abstract: Biocatalytic cascades are uniquely powerful for the efficient, asymmetric synthesis of bioactive compounds. However, high substrate specificity can hinder the scope of biocatalytic cascades because the constituent enzymes may have non‐complementary activity. In this study, we implemented a substrate multiplexed screening (SUMS) based directed evolution approach to improve the substrate scope overlap between a transaldolase (ObiH) and a decarboxylase for the production of chiral 1,2‐amino alcohols. To generate a promiscuous cascade, we engineered a tryptophan decarboxylase to act efficiently on β‐OH amino acids while avoiding activity on l‐threonine, which is needed for ObiH activity. We leveraged this exquisite selectivity with matched substrate scope to produce a variety of enantiopure 1,2‐amino alcohols in a one‐pot cascade from aldehydes or styrene oxides. This demonstration shows how SUMS can be used to guide the development of promiscuous, C−C bond forming cascades.
