Insight into the broadened substrate scope of nitrile hydratase by static and dynamic structure analysis.
Chem Sci, 13:8417-8428, 2022

PubMed Abstract: The narrow substrate scope limits the wide industrial application of enzymes. Here, we successfully broadened the substrate scope of a nitrile hydratase (NHase) through mutation of two tunnel entrance residues based on rational tunnel calculation. Two variants, with increased specific activity, especially toward bulky substrates, were obtained. Crystal structure analysis revealed that the mutations led to the expansion of the tunnel entrance, which might be conducive to substrate entry. More importantly, molecular dynamics simulations illustrated that the mutations introduced anti-correlated movements to the regions around the substrate tunnel and the active site, which would promote substrate access during the dynamic process of catalysis. Additionally, mutations on the corresponding tunnel entrance residues on other NHases also enhanced their activity toward bulky substrates. These results not only revealed that residues located at the enzyme surface were a key factor in enzyme catalytic performance, but also provided dynamic evidence for insight into enzyme substrate scope broadening.
