The identification of the formate dehydrogenase MeFDH1 from Methylorubrum extorquens represents a significant advance in sustainable CO₂ fixation and utilization. However, large-scale production of MeFDH1 is complicated by its dependence on the unique tungsto-bis-metalopterin guanine dinucleotide(W-bis-MGD) cofactor, which constrains its practical application. This study investigates Cupriavidus necator H16 as a viable host for the large-scale production of MeFDH1, leveraging fructose as a carbon source and the host's intrinsic cofactor synthesis capabilities. In minimal salt medium, C. necator H16 successfully produced active MeFDH1, achieving a specific activity of 80 to 100 U/㎎ for converting CO₂ to formate. Fed-batch bioreactor experiments yielded approximately 50g/L of cell dry weight(CDW) and 10,000U/L of MeFDH1 within 50 hours. These results establish C. necator H16 as a promising recombinant host for MeFDH1 production, offering a pathway to efficient and scalable methods for generating this vital enzyme.
Along with the host investigation, CnFDW from C. necator H16, similar to MeFDH1, was expressed in M. extorquens and characterized. The heterodimeric CnFDW exhibits high formate-forming activity(kcat=120 s⁻¹) when using reduced ethyl viologen. The presence of tungstate during cell growth was essential for activity, although inactive apo-CnFDW was completely synthesized in its absence. High-resolution inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry(HR-ICP-MS) was used to determine the maximal tungsten content at 0.56 ㏖/㏖ enzyme, implying that about 44% of the produced recombinant enzymes lack the cofactor. The optimal activity was observed at 30℃ and pH 6.0 for formate production, and pH 8.0 for oxidation. It remained stable in air without formate, yet displayed oxygen sensitivity, with a half-life of 3.0 h in the presence of both oxygen and formate. Docking studies, informed by the MeFDH1 structure, suggest that the reduced activity and W-content in CnFDW compared to MeFDH1 are likely due to steric hindrance in cofactor binding. This study presents CnFDW as a promising enzyme candidate for formate formation from CO₂ and provides valuable insights into enhancing the performance of this important enzyme.
In silico structural analysis of CnFDW was also conducted to get insight on how to improve its activity and stability. Using the known x-ray structure of MeFDH1 and the Alphafold program, the structure of CnFDW was predicted, and docking modes for cofactors and oxygen were determined using SITEID and SYBYL molecular modeling software. Potential amino acid residues for improving enzyme activity and stability were predicted based on simulation results, and initial wet experiments were conducted to validate in silico findings. Ongoing research will enhance the understanding of W-dependent FDH enzymes withexcellent performance in formate formation.*표시는 필수 입력사항입니다.
