Abstract
A novel biocatalytic oxidative alkene cleavage activity was identified in protein TM1459 from Thermotoga maritima,
a so far uncharacterised metalloprotein with a cupin fold, which
preferentially binds manganese (over iron and zinc). Various styrene
derivatives were converted with high chemoselectivity to the
corresponding carbonyl compounds by the manganese-containing protein,
using organic hydroperoxide and molecular oxygen as oxidant.
4-Chloroacetophenone could be obtained in 40% conversion from
4-chloro-α-methylstyrene (50 mM) in a biphasic system using ethyl
acetate as organic cosolvent (5% v/v), while 76% conversion was obtained
at a lower substrate concentration (10 mM). This novel biocatalyst can
be easily over-expressed in Escherichia coli in exceptionally high yield and purified, and thus may offer a valuable and safer alternative in oxidative CC bond cleavage reactions for synthetic applications.
