Article Abstract
Most natural formate dehydrogenases (FDHs) exhibit NAD specificity, making it imperative to explore the engineering of FDH cofactor specificity for NADPH regeneration systems. The endogenous FDH of Komagataella phaffii (K. phaffii), termed KphFDH, is a typical NAD -specific FDH. However, investigations into engineering the cofactor specificity of KphFDH have yet to be conducted. To develop an NADP -specific variant of KphFDH, we selected D195, Y196, and Q197 as mutation sites and generated twenty site-directed variants. Through kinetic characterization, KphFDH/V19 (D195Q/Y196R/Q197H) was identified as the variant with the highest specificity towards NADP , with a ratio of catalytic efficiency (k /K ) /(k /K ) of 129.226. Studies of enzymatic properties revealed that the optimal temperature and pH for the reduction reaction of NADP catalyzed by KphFDH/V19 were 45 °C and 7.5, respectively. The molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was performed to elucidate the mechanism of high catalytic activity of KphFDH/V19 towards NADP . Finally, KphFDH/V19 was applied to an in vitro NADPH regeneration system with Meso-diaminopimelate dehydrogenase from Symbiobacterium thermophilum (StDAPDH/H227V). This study successfully created a KphFDH variant with high NADP specificity and demonstrated its practical applicability in an in vitro NADPH regeneration system.

Bilirubin, a heme-derived metabolite with pronounced bioactivity, exhibits significant potential for pharmaceutical applications. This study developed a recombinant Escherichia coli-based biliverdin biotransformation system, enabling efficient bilirubin synthesis via heterologous expression of a novel biliverdin reductase (BvdR', XP_032760038.1) from Rattus norvegicus and a glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) from Priestia megaterium.

Although nanozyme-mediated chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has been extensively investigated, its therapeutic efficacy is hindered by tumor microenvironment (TME), which features low endogenous HO level and high glutathione (GSH) concentration. In this work, PtFeCoMoMn high-entropy intermetallic alloy/N-doped carbon nanoflowers (HEIA/NCNFs) was synthesized by a one-step pyrolysis. The HEIA/NCNFs exhibited multiple peroxidase (POD)-, catalase (CAT)-, oxidase (OXD)-, glutathione oxidase (GSHOx)-, and NADPH oxidase (NOX)-like activities, which were integrated with glucose oxidase (GOx) and doxorubicin (DOX) to establish a cascade nanotherapeutic platform (termed HEIA/NCNFs-GOx/DOX).

Despite remarkable progress achieved in biomimetic catalysis, the majority of studies have primarily concentrated on mimicking the structures of catalytic sites in metalloenzymes, while frequently neglecting the crucial roles of multifunctional coenzymes therein. In this study, the coenzyme mimics of nicotinic acid (NA) and 3-carboxy-1-methylpyridinium iodide (NA-Me, simply denoted as NM) have been modified onto the metal-organic framework UiO-66-NH, affording UiO-66-X (X═NA, NM) with varying the degree of mimicry for the nicotinamide nucleotide coenzyme. Remarkably, UiO-66-NM showcases approximately five- and seven-fold activity higher than UiO-66-NA and the pristine UiO-66-NH, respectively, in the photocatalytic hydrogen production.

D-pantothenic acid (D-PA) is a vital water-soluble vitamin with diverse industrial applications, driving the demand for efficient microbial production. Here, we rationally engineered an Escherichia coli strain to enhance D-PA production through metabolic engineering. First, to enhance carbon utilization efficiency, competing byproduct pathways were deleted and the pentose phosphate pathway was downregulated.
