Abstract

Arsinothricin (AST) is a broad-spectrum arsenic-containing antibiotic with promising pharmaceutical properties. In this study, we report the one-pot chemoenzymatic synthesis of AST starting from methylarsenate, a commonly used agricultural herbicide. Although a single point mutation in the C-terminal region of ArsL completely abolished its activity toward the natural substrate inorganic arsenite, this mutation unexpectedly enhanced its activity toward methylarsenate by over 50-fold, enabling subgram scale production of AST in a cell-free system. These findings offer valuable mechanistic insights into ArsL and highlight the significant potential of manipulating the radical SAM superfamily enzymes in synthetic applications.

Arsinothricin (AST) 是一种广谱含砷抗生素，具有广阔的药用前景。在本研究中，我们报告了以常用的农用除草剂甲胂酸为原料，一步化学合成 AST 的过程。虽然 ArsL C 端区域的单点突变完全取消了其对天然底物无机亚砷酸盐的活性，但这一突变却意外地将其对甲砷酸盐的活性提高了 50 倍以上，从而实现了在无细胞系统中亚克规模生产 AST。这些发现为 ArsL 提供了宝贵的机理启示，并凸显了在合成应用中操纵自由基 SAM 超家族酶的巨大潜力。
