Abstract
AbstractCofactor regeneration systems are of major importance for the applicability of oxidoreductases in biocatalysis. Previously, geranylgeranyl reductases have been investigated for the enzymatic reduction of isolated C=C bonds. However, an enzymatic cofactor‐regeneration system for in vitro use is lacking. In this work, we report a ferredoxin from the archaea Archaeoglobus fulgidus that regenerates the flavin of the corresponding geranylgeranyl reductase. The proteins were heterologously produced, and the regeneration was coupled to a ferredoxin reductase from Escherichia coli and a glucose dehydrogenase from Bacillus subtilis, thereby enabling the reduction of isolated C=C bonds by purified enzymes. The system was applied in crude, cell‐free extracts and gave conversions comparable to those of a previous method using sodium dithionite for cofactor regeneration. Hence, an enzymatic approach to the reduction of isolated C=C bonds can be coupled with common systems for the regeneration of nicotinamide cofactors, thereby opening new perspectives for the application of geranylgeranyl reductases in biocatalysis.
