Isopenicillin N

Isopenicillin N synthase (IPNS) is a non-haem iron oxidase that catalyses the formation of bicyclic isopenicillin N from δ-(L-α-aminoadipoyl)-L-cysteinyl-D-valine (ACV). In this study we report a novel activity for the iron of the IPNS active site, which behaves as a Lewis acid to catalyse the elimination of HF from the fluorinated substrate analogue, δ-(L-α-aminoadipoyl)-L-cysteinyl-D-β-fluorovaline (ACβFV). X-Ray crystallographic studies of IPNS crystals grown anaerobically with ACβFV reveal that the valinyl β-fluorine is missing from the active site region, and suggest the presence of the unsaturated tripeptide δ-(L-α-aminoadipoyl)-L-cysteinyl-D-isodehydrovaline in place of substrate ACβFV. 19F NMR studies confirm the release of fluoride from ACβFV in the presence of the active IPNS enzyme. These results suggest a new mode of reactivity for the IPNS iron centre, a mechanism of action that has not previously been reported for any of the iron oxidase enzymes.

Isopenicillin N

Isopenicillin N synthase (IPNS) is a non-haem iron(II) oxidase which catalyses the biosynthesis of isopenicillin N from the tripeptide δ-(l-α-aminoadipoyl)-l-cysteinyl-d-valine (ACV). Herein we report crystallographic studies to investigate the reaction of IPNS with the truncated substrate analogue δ-(l-α-aminoadipoyl)-l-cysteinyl-d-α-aminobutyrate (ACAb). It has been reported previously that this analogue gives rise to three β-lactam products when incubated with IPNS: two methyl penams and a cepham. Crystal structures of the IPNS–Fe(II)–ACAb and IPNS–Fe(II)–ACAb–NO complexes have now been solved and are reported herein. These structures and modelling studies based on them shed light on the diminished product selectivity shown by IPNS in its reaction with ACAb and further rationalize the presence of certain key residues at the IPNS active site.

Abstract Radical cyclizations are essential reactions in the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites and the chemical synthesis of societally valuable molecules. In this review, we highlight the general mechanisms utilized in biocatalytic radical cyclizations. We specifically highlight cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s) involved in the biosynthesis of mycocyclosin and vancomycin, non-heme iron- and α-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases (Fe/αKGDs) used in the biosynthesis of kainic acid, scopolamine, and isopenicillin N, and radical S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) enzymes that facilitate the biosynthesis of oxetanocin A, menaquinone, and F420. Beyond natural mechanisms, we also examine repurposed flavin-dependent ‘ene’-reductases (ERED) for non-natural radical cyclization. Overall, these general mechanisms underscore the opportunity for enzymes to augment and enhance the synthesis of complex molecules using radical mechanisms.
