Nature’s two redox cofactors, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+), are held at different reduction potentials, driving catabolism and anabolism in opposite directions. In biomanufacturing, there is a need to flexibly control redox reaction direction decoupled from catabolism and anabolism. We established nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN+) as a noncanonical cofactor orthogonal to NAD(P)+. Here we present the development of Nox Ortho, a reduced NMN+ (NMNH)-specific oxidase, that completes the toolkit to modulate NMNH:NMN+ ratio together with an NMN+-specific glucose dehydrogenase (GDH Ortho). The design principle discovered from Nox Ortho engineering and modeling is facilely translated onto six different enzymes to create NMN(H)-orthogonal biocatalysts with a consistent ~103–106-fold cofactor specificity switch from NAD(P)+ to NMN+. We assemble these enzymes to produce stereo-pure 2,3-butanediol in cell-free systems and in Escherichia coli, enabled by NMN(H)’s distinct redox ratio firmly set by its designated driving forces, decoupled from both NAD(H) and NADP(H).

使用正交氧化还原辅因子按需改变氧化还原反应平衡
自然界的两种氧化还原辅因子,烟酰胺腺嘌呤二核苷酸 (NAD+) 和烟酰胺腺嘌呤二核苷酸磷酸 (NADP+),保持不同的还原电位,驱动分解代谢和合成代谢向相反的方向发展。在生物制造中,需要灵活控制与分解代谢和合成代谢解耦的氧化还原反应方向。我们将烟酰胺单核苷酸 (NMN+) 确定为与 NAD(P)+ 正交的非经典辅因子。在这里,我们介绍了 Nox Ortho 的开发,这是一种还原的 NMN + (NMNH) 特异性氧化酶,它完成了调节 NMNH:NMN + 比率以及 NMN + 特异性葡萄糖脱氢酶 (GDH Ortho) 的工具包。从 Nox Ortho 工程和建模中发现的设计原理很容易地转化为六种不同的酶,以产生 NMN(H) -正交生物催化剂,具有从 NAD(P)+ 到 NMN+ 的一致 ~103-10 6 倍辅因子特异性转换。我们将这些酶组装起来,在无细胞系统和大肠杆菌中产生立体纯的 2,3-丁二醇,这得益于 NMN(H) 独特的氧化还原比率,该比率由其指定的驱动力牢牢设定,与 NAD(H) 和 NADP(H) 解耦。
