- W3207425904 abstract "<div><div><div><p>We previously engineered the tryptophan synthase beta-subunit (TrpB), which catalyzes the condensation reaction between L-serine and indole to form L-tryptophan, to synthesize a range of modified tryptophans from serine and indole derivatives. In this study, we used directed evolution to engineer TrpB to accept 3-substituted oxindoles and form C–C bonds leading to new quaternary stereocenters. At first, the TrpBs that could use 3-substituted oxindoles preferentially formed N–C bonds by attacking the oxindole N<sub>1 </sub>atom. We found, however, that protecting the nitrogen encouraged evolution towards C-alkylation, which persisted even when this protection was removed. After seven rounds of evolution leading to a 400-fold improvement in activity, variant <i>Pf</i><sub>quat</sub> efficiently alkylates 3-substituted oxindoles to selectively form new stereocenters at the γ-position of the amino acid products. The configuration of the new γ-stereocenter of one of the products was determined from the crystal structure obtained by microcrystal electron diffraction (MicroED). Substrates structurally related to 3-methyloxindole such as lactones and ketones can also be used by the enzyme for quaternary carbon bond formation, where the biocatalyst exhibits excellent regioselectivity for the tertiary carbon atom. Highly thermostable and expressed at > 500 mg/L <i>E. coli</i> culture, TrpB <i>Pf</i><sub>quat </sub>provides an efficient and environmentally-friendly platform for the preparation of noncanonical amino acids bearing quaternary carbons.</p></div></div></div>" @default.
