Improving the Cβ Stereoselectivity of L-Threonine Aldolase for the Synthesis of L-threo-4-Methylsulfonylphenylserine by Modulating the Substrate-Binding Pocket To Control the Orientation of the Substrate Entrance

Lichao Wang et al.

Summary: l-Threonine aldolase from Actinocorallia herbida (AhLTA) is an ideal catalyst for producing l-threo-4-methylsulfonylphenylserine, and engineering the enzyme through a combinatorial active-site saturation test (CAST) and sequence conservatism analysis has successfully improved the C-beta stereoselectivity. The mutant Y314R demonstrated higher diastereomeric excess (de) in asymmetric synthesis, showcasing the potential of directly controlling substrates in the active pocket for industrial applications.

Cβ-Selective Aldol Addition of D-Threonine Aldolase by Spatial Constraint of Aldehyde Binding

Sung-Hyun Park et al.

Summary: The study introduces a D-Threonine aldolase (DTA) from Filomicrobium marinum (FmDTA) with higher activity and C beta-stereoselectivity than other known DTAs. Through rational protein engineering based on the reaction mechanism, a variant enzyme with nearly perfect D-threonine production is developed. This demonstrates how understanding the reaction mechanism can lead to effective protein engineering for improved specificity and activity.
