Development and integration of stable aldolases in the synthesis of enantiopure functionalized nitrogen heterocyclesMaud CABRIÈRES, Maurice FRANSSEN
IBOS PROJECT: 5 partners • IBOS: Integration of Biosynthesis and Organic Synthesis Program • Dr. Franssen/Prof. Sudhölter (Org. Chem. WU) • Dr. van der Oost/Prof. de Vos (Microbiology WU) • Prof. Kieboom, University of Leiden (Bio-org. Chem. UL) • Prof. Rutjes, University of Nijmegen (Org. Chem. KUN) • Industrial partner: DSM
General framework of IBOS project • Schematic overview of the project: • Final goal: integration of new generation of Aldolases in a cascade of biocatalytic conversions, aiming at the synthesis of novel nitrogen heterocyclic compounds: Aldehyde Hydroxynitrile Lyase (HNL) Cyanohydrin
C-C bond formation relevance “ Carbon- carbon bond formation lies at the heart of many organic synthesis ” Today’s fine chemistry challenge: forming building blocks with complete control of the stereochemistry of stereogenic centres Aldol reaction: one of the most powerful and famous method to enlarge carbon skeleton
Aldol condensation reaction • Racemic mixture!
Aldol condensation: Nature uses aldolases • Specific group of lyases, very stereoselective • Nearly 30 natural aldolases identified (2000) • Broad range of acceptors • Stringent requirement for donors
Type I Aldolase: Donor activation Imine intermediate Type II Aldolase: Donor activation Metal-dependent (Zn2+ cofactor) Aldolase classification based on catalytic mechanism
Volcano • Themotoga • Pacific • Pyrococcus • Yellowstone • Sulfolobus Aldolases from (hyper)thermophilic microorganisms • Archaea and bacteria with Toptimum > 80 ° C • Deep sea smokers: Pyrococcus • Shallow marine vents: Thermotoga (DHPS) • Acidic hot spring: Sulfolobus (KDG)
Relevant Aldolases involved in this project • KDG (2-keto-3-deoxy gluconate aldolase): • DHPS (2,3-dihydrodipicolinate synthase): • DERA (2-deoxyribose-5-phosphate aldolase):
