Unspecific peroxygenase (UPO) is a heme-thiolate peroxidase capable of performing with high-selectivity C-H oxyfunctionalizations of great interest in organic synthesis through its peroxygenative activity. However, the convergence of such activity with an unwanted peroxidative activity encumbers practical applications. In this study, we have modified the peroxygenative:peroxidative activity ratio (P:p ratio) of UPO from Agrocybe aegerita by structure-guided evolution. Several flexible loops (Glu1-Pro35, Gly103-Asp131, Ser226-Gly243, Gln254-Thr276 and Ty293-Arg327) were selected on the basis on their B-factors and ΔΔG values. The full ensemble of segments (43% of UPO sequence) was subjected to focused evolution by the Mutagenic Organized Recombination Process by Homologous IN vivo Grouping (MORPHING) method in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Five independent mutant libraries were screened in terms of P:p ratio and thermostability. We identified several variants that harbored substitutions at positions 120 and 320 with a strong enhancement in the P:p ratio albeit at the cost of stability. The most thermostable mutant of this process (S226G with an increased T50 of 2°C) was subjected to further combinatorial saturation mutagenesis on Thr120 and Thr320 yielding a collection of variants with modified P:p ratio and recovered stability. Our results seem to indicate the coexistence of several oxidation sites for peroxidative and peroxygenative activities in UPO.

D006899 Mixed Function Oxygenases Widely distributed enzymes that carry out oxidation-reduction reactions in which one atom of the oxygen molecule is incorporated into the organic substrate; the other oxygen atom is reduced and combined with hydrogen ions to form water. They are also known as monooxygenases or hydroxylases. These reactions require two substrates as reductants for each of the two oxygen atoms. There are different classes of monooxygenases depending on the type of hydrogen-providing cosubstrate (COENZYMES) required in the mixed-function oxidation.
