Specific production of γ-polypodatetraene or 17-isodammara-20(21),24-diene by squalene–hopene cyclase mutant
摘要:
Amino acids lining the catalytic cavity of squalene-hopene cyclase of Alicyclobacillus acidocaldarius were mutated to investigate their catalytic functions. Mutagenesis of Leu607 to Lys in the central part of the cavity resulted in the production of the bicyclic gamma -polypodatetraene (1) as main product, while the mutation of Phe605 to Lys near the deprotonation site of the cavity led mainly to the formation of tetracyclic 17-isodammara-20(21),24-diene (2).

Three triterpenes having the 6/6/5-fused tri- and 6/6/6/5-fused tetracyclic skeletons were isolated from an incubation mixture of the mutated F601A enzyme, these products being in accordance with a Markovnikov closure. Successful trapping of the tricyclic cationic intermediate by using the squalene analog having a highly nucleophilic hydroxyl group leads us to propose that the ring expansion process
Site-directed mutagenesis experiments with W169F, W169H and W489F for the squalene-hopene cyclase, and the formation of 10 possessing the five-membered D-ring and a tetrahydrofuran moiety as the enzyme product of the analogue 8 with a hydroxy group, strongly suggest that a ring expansion reaction from the five- to the six-membered ring is responsible for the D-ring formation of hopene.
用 W169F、W169H 和 W489F 对角鲨烯-罂粟碱环化酶进行定点诱变实验,并在带有羟基的类似物 8 的酶产物中形成了具有五元 D 环和四氢呋喃分子的 10,这有力地表明,从五元环到六元环的扩环反应是形成罂粟碱 D 环的原因。

Squalene‐Hopene Cyclase: The Critical Role of Steric Bulk at Ala306 and the First Enzymatic Synthesis of Epoxydammarane from 2,3‐Oxidosqualene
SHC is widely conserved in known SHCs. Increases in steric bulk (A306T and A306V) led to the accumulation of 6,6,6,5‐fused tetracyclic scaffolds with 20R stereochemistry. This indicates folding of squalene in a chair‐chair‐chair‐boat conformation. The stereochemical fate in polycyclization is thus governed by the bulk at this position.

Incubation of squalene with the site-directed mutant F605A of
squaleneâhopene cyclase from Alicyclobacillus acidocaldarius
yielded many triterpenes consisting of the 6/6/5-fused tri-, 6/6/6/5-fused
tetra-, and 6/6/6/6/5-fused pentacyclic skeletons, the function of F605
being assignable for facilitating the ring expansion and for stabilizing
the hopanyl C22-cation, possibly via cation-Ï interactions.
