摘要
Deoxynivalenol (DON), the most widely distributed mycotoxin worldwide, causes severe health risks for humans and animals. Quinone-dependent dehydrogenase derived from Devosia strain A6–243 (DADH) can degrade DON into less toxic 3-keto-DON and then aldo-keto reductase AKR13B3 can reduce 3-keto-DON into relatively nontoxic 3-epi-DON. However, the poor catalytic efficiency of DADH made it unsuitable for practical applications, and it has become the rate-limiting step of the two-step enzymatic cascade catalysis. Here, structure-guided steric hindrance engineering was employed to enhance the catalytic efficiency of DADH. After the steric hindrance engineering, the best mutant, V429G/N431V/T432V/L434V/F537A (M5–1), showed an 18.17-fold increase in specific activity and an 11.04-fold increase in catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km) compared with that of wild-type DADH. Structure-based computational analysis provided information on the increased catalytic efficiency in the directions that attenuated steric hindrance, which was attributed to the reshaped substrate-binding pocket with an expanded catalytic binding cavity and a favorable attack distance. Tunnel analysis suggested that reshaping the active cavity by mutation might alter the shape and size of the enzyme tunnels or form one new enzyme tunnel, which might contribute to the improved catalytic efficiency of M5–1. These findings provide a promising strategy to enhance the catalytic efficiency by steric hindrance engineering.
