However, the development of robust and versatile biocatalytic systems for this purpose remains a significant challenge. In this study, we report a hybrid electrochemical-biochemical cell-free system for the conversion of C1 substrates into the universal biological building block acetyl-CoA. The synthetic reductive formate pathway (ReForm) consists of five core enzymes catalyzing non-natural reactions that were established through a cell-free enzyme engineering platform. We demonstrate that ReForm works in a plug-and-play manner to accept diverse C1 substrates including CO equivalents. We anticipate that ReForm will facilitate efforts to build and improve synthetic C1 utilization pathways for a formate-based bioeconomy. |
