35 Doctoral School Chemistry Abstracts - Evaluations Applying circular permutation to strictosidine synthase Eva Fischereder, Desiree Pressnitz, Horst Lechner and Wolfgang Kroutil Department of organic and bioorganic chemistry, University of Graz evamaria.fischereder@edu.uni-graz.at Keywords: Strictosidine synthase, Pictet-Spengler reaction, circular permutation, monoterpenoid-indole alkaloids, non-natural aldehydes Abstract: Strictosidine synthase (STR) has been recognized as a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of indole alkaloids, including highly therapeutically valuable derivatives, via a Pictet Spengler reaction. 1 STR from Rauvolfia serpentina was subjected to an enzyme engineering technique called circular permutation (cp). 2 Traditionally engineering techniques rely on amino acid substitution to alter enzyme properties, instead circular permutation benefits of reorganizing a poly peptide chain. Conceptually cp of a protein involves the covalent linkage of the native C- and N-termini by a peptide linker, followed by the cleavage of specific peptide bonds elsewhere in the peptide chain. 3 Based on the crystal structure of the enzyme which resembles a six bladed β-propeller fold, two areas where chosen to be permuted. On the one hand a α-helix in blade three and a loop in blade five which together form a cap over the active side. In total eleven permutants where synthesized whereby eight were able to convert the natural substrates tryptamine and secologanine to form stereospecifically (S)-strictosidine. Since not much is known about non-natural substrates transformed by this enzymes the cp library as well as a set of strictosidine synthases from naturalsources were tested against the chiral aldehyde R/S-citronellal. Unexpectedly the non-natural aldehyde showed promising results and was transformed by some natural synthases as well as by candidates of the permutation library.
