Notably, approximately a quarter of current pharmaceuticals are halogenated. While chemical halogenation remains the most widely employed method for producing halogenated molecules, it has significant drawbacks, including extreme reaction conditions, heavy pollution, and the use of toxic reagents. In contrast, bio-halogenation offers a \"greener\" approach to generating halogenated compounds. However, its industrial application is limited due to the low activity and stability of naturally occurring halogenase enzymes.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>In this study, we identified a novel tryptophan halogenase, SsDiHal, from Saccharothrix sp. NRRL B-16348 through genome mining. We found that SsDiHal catalyzes a two-step chlorination of tryptophan to sequentially yield 7-chlorotryptophan and 6,7-dichlorotryptophan, making SsDiHal the first naturally occurring tryptophan dihalogenase to be identified. Using a strcutral model of SsDiHal to guide mutagensis, several SsDiHal mutants were generated and tested for improved catalytic efficiency and altered regioselectivity. Compared to the halogenation activity of the wild type SsDiHal, the V53I, V53I/I83V and N470S mutants demonstrated significantly enhanced catalytic efficiency, with 7.7-, 4.16-, and 7.4-fold increases respectively, for the L-tryptophan substrate. While no change in regioselectivity was observed for the V53I, I83V, F112Y, and V53I/I83V mutants, a notable regioselectivity shift was found in the N470S mutant. Specifically, this mutant synthesized 6-chlorotryptophan as the first product, rather than the canonical 7-chlorotryptophan that is synthesized by wild type SsDiHal with no effect in its dihlogenation function.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Overall, this work not only adds a novel dihalogenase to the growing field of halogenating enzymes but also demonstrates that leveraging a structrual model to guide engineering of halogenases can both enhance the catalytic efficiency and modify regioselectivity of the wild type enzyme.

In the article, the word 'fossil' refers to all forms of mined carbon and minerals from the Earth, including water from aquafers, which cannot be replenished at the rate that will maintain their capacity to provide for the future. The natural world through its many circular systems uses energy and renewable resources to perform functions that produce zero waste. One organism's waste becomes another organism's food, material, and energy, forming a circular loop (take-make-use-decay-reuse). Over the past 4 years, deliberate engagements with leaders of multiple disciplines and stakeholders resulted in conclusions that the problems of the complex biologically active systems (biosystems) that are intertwined with natural systems and socio-economic systems can only be addressed by having a robust culture of convergent science and engineering and systems-thinking for transitioning from linear fossil-based to circular bioeconomy systems. We present the need and propose forming a multidisciplinary professional society alliance to promote and support networks of multidisciplinary teams to address problems of complex, intertwined bio-natural-socio-economic systems of systems.

Furthermore, histological analysis revealed that cell sheets generated under SFM conditions were more compact and uniform, exhibiting superior structural organization.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>SFM facilitates the generation of cell sheets that exhibit structural and functional properties analogous to those cultured in FBS. Additionally, SFM promotes cellular phenotype transition and ECM deposition. Consequently, SFM provides a safer, more controllable, and clinically translatable solution for cell sheet construction.</p>","PeriodicalId":15053,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biological Engineering","volume":"19 1","pages":"51"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12121044/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144173859","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
