The widespread use of organofuorines also leads to its accumulation in the environment, and two major questions arise: how to synthesize and how to degrade this type of compound efectively? In contrast to a considerable number of easy‑access chemical methods, milder and more efective enzymatic methods remain to be developed. In this review, we present recent progress on enzyme‑catalyzed C–F bond formation and cleav‑ age, focused on describing C–F bond formation enabled by fuorinase and C–F bond cleavage catalyzed by oxidase, reductase, deaminase, and dehalogenase.

    ENGINEERING BACTERIAL NITROREDUCTASES FOR ANTICANCER GENE THERAPY AND TARGETED CELL ABLATION Abigail Sharrock, School of Biological Sciences, Victoria University of Wellington, NZ [email protected] Elsie Williams, Department of Chemistry, Emory University, USA Kelsi Hall, School of Biological Sciences, Victoria University of Wellington, NZ Jeff Mumm, Wilmer Eye Institute, Johns Hopkins University, USA David Ackerley, School of Biological Sciences, Victoria University of Wellington, NZ Key Words: nitroreductase, prodrug, directed evolution, gene therapy, cell ablation Bacterial nitroreductases are members of a diverse family of oxidoreductase enzymes that can catalyse the bioreductive activation of nitroaromatic compounds, including anti-cancer and antibiotic prodrugs. Nitroreductases have diverse applications in medicine and research, including anti-cancer gene therapy and targeted ablation of nitroreductase-expressing cells in transgenic zebrafish to model degenerative diseases. Research in these fields to date has focused almost exclusively on the canonical nitroreductase NfsB from Escherichia coli (NfsB_Ec), which is a relatively inefficient choice for most applications. By exploring alternative nitroreductase candidates from a variety of bacterial species, in concert with enzyme engineering to fine-tune specific activities, we have generated improved prodrug-activating enzymes. The nitroreductase NfsB from Vibrio vulnificus (NfsB_Vv) has been central to our efforts, and following solution of its crystal structure, was selected as a scaffold for directed evolution via site-saturation mutagenesis. By applying library screening strategies that involved rounds of both positive and negative selection, several mutants that displayed improved activity with a promising next-generation cancer prodrug were identified. In parallel work, an engineered NfsB_Vv variant from the same library was found to be substantially improved in activation of the antibiotic prodrug metronidazole, which is widely used for targeted cell ablation in transgenic zebrafish.

However, fuorinated compounds do not easily break down in nature, which has resulted in their accumulation in the environment as well as the human body. Recently, the enzymatic defuorination of fuorine‑containing compounds has gained increasing attention. Here, we review the enzymatic defuorination reactions of fuorinated compounds. Furthermore, we review the enzyme engineering strategies for cleaving C–F bonds, which have the highest dissociation energy found in organic compounds.

Carvalho and Rui S.

They are employed in almost all areas of modern society. These compounds are all produced by chemical synthesis and their abundance highly contrasts with fluorinated molecules of natural origin. To date, only some plants and a handful of actinomycetes species are known to produce a small number of fluori- nated compounds that include fluoroacetate (FA), some x-fluorinated fatty acids, nucleocidin, 4-fluorothreonine (4-FT), and the more recently identified (2R3S4S)-5-fluoro-2,3,4-trihydroxypenta- noic acid. This largely differs from other naturally produced halogenated compounds, which totals more than 5000. The mechanisms underlying biological fluorination have been uncovered after discovering the first actinomycete species, Streptomyces cattleya, that is capable of produc- ing FA and 4-FT, and a fluorinase has been identified as the enzyme responsible for the forma- tion of the C–F bond. The discovery of this enzyme has opened new perspectives for the biotechnological production of fluorinated compounds and many advancements have been achieved in its application mainly as a biocatalyst for the synthesis of [18F]-labeled radiotracers for medical imaging.

Abstract: A strategy for last step [18F]-fluorination of bioconjugated peptides is reported that exploits an ‘Achilles heel’ in the substrate specificity of the fluorinase enzyme. An acetylene functionality at C-2 of the adenosine substrate projects from the active site into the solvent. The fluorinase catalyses a transhalogenation of 5’-chlorodeoxy-2-ethynyladenosine (ClDEA) to 5’-fluorodeoxy-2-ethynyladenosine [18F]-FDEA. Extending a polyethelene glycol linker from the terminus of the acetylene allows bio- conjugation cargo to be presented to the enzyme for [18F]-labeling. The method benefits from using an 18 18 aqueous (H2 O) solution of [ F]-fluoride, generated by the cyclotron and has the modular capacity

Pathways are colored according to their cellular function. Gcf_000317615Cyc: Dactylococcopsis salina PCC 8305 Cellular Overview Connections between pathways are omitted for legibility.
