Abstract
AbstractThe use of gaseous and air-captured CO2 for technical biosynthesis is highly desired, but elusive so far due to several obstacles including high energy (ATP, NADPH) demand, low thermodynamic driving force and limited biosynthesis rate. Here, we present an ATP and NAD(P)H-free chemoenzymatic system for amino acid and pyruvate biosynthesis by coupling methanol with CO2. It relies on a re-engineered glycine cleavage system with the NAD(P)H-dependent L protein replaced by biocompatible chemical reduction of protein H with dithiothreitol. The latter provides a higher thermodynamic driving force, determines the reaction direction, and avoids protein polymerization of the rate-limiting enzyme carboxylase. Engineering of H protein to effectively release the lipoamide arm from a protected state further enhanced the system performance, achieving the synthesis of glycine, serine and pyruvate at g/L level from methanol and air-captured CO2. This work opens up the door for biosynthesis of amino acids and derived products from air.
