Cloning, expression and characterisation of P450-Hal1 (CYP116B62) from Halomonas sp NCIMB 172: A self-sufficient P450 with high expression and diverse substrate scope
Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases are able to catalyse a range of synthetically challenging reactions ranging from hydroxylation and demethylation to sulfoxidation and epoxidation. As such they have great potential for biocatalytic applications but are underutilised due to often-poor expression, stability and solubility in recombinant bacterial hosts. The use of self-sufficient P450 s with fused haem and reductase domains has already contributed heavily to improving catalytic efficiency and simplifying an otherwise more complex multi -component system of P450 and redox partners. Herein, we present a new addition to the class VII family with the cloning, sequencing and characterisation of the self-sufficient CYP116B62 Hall from Halomonas sp. NCIMB 172, the genome of which has not yet been sequenced. Hall exhibits high levels of expression in a recombinant E. coil host and can be utilised from cell lysate or used in purified form. Hall favours NADPH as electron donor and displays a diverse range of activities including hydroxylation, demethylation and sulfoxidation. These properties make Hall suitable for future biocatalytic applications or as a template for optimisation through engineering.
