Cupin Variants as Macromolecular Ligand Library for Stereoselective Michael Addition of Nitroalkanes
2020
Cupin superfamily proteins (TM1459) work as a macromolecular ligand framework with a double-stranded beta-barrel structure ligating to a Cu ion through histidine side chains. Variegating the first coordination sphere of TM1459 revealed that H52A and H54A/H58A mutants effectively catalyzed the diastereo- and enantioselective Michael addition reaction of nitroalkanes to an alpha,beta-unsaturated ketone. Moreover, calculated substrate docking signified C106N and F104W single-point mutations, which inverted the diastereoselectivity of H52A and further improved the stereoselectivity of H54A/H58A, respectively.
