Epoxidation of linear, branched and cyclic alkenes catalyzed by unspecific peroxygenase

Unspecific peroxygenases (EC 1.11.2.1) represent a group of secreted heme-thiolate proteins that are capable of catalyzing the mono-oxygenation of diverse organic compounds, using only H
2O
2 as a co-substrate. Here we show that the peroxygenase secreted by the fungus
Agrocybe aegerita catalyzed the oxidation of 20 different alkenes. Five branched alkenes, among them 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene and
cis-2-butene, as well as propene and butadiene were epoxidized with complete regioselectivity. Longer linear alkenes with a terminal double bond (e.g. 1-octene) and cyclic alkenes (e.g. cyclohexene) were converted into the corresponding epoxides and allylic hydroxylation products; oxidation of the cyclic monoterpene limonene yielded three oxygenation products (two epoxides and an alcohol). In the case of 1-alkenes, the conversion occurred with moderate stereoselectivity, in which the preponderance for the (
S)-enantiomer reached up to 72%
ee for the epoxide product. The apparent Michaelis–Menten constant (
Km) for the epoxidation of the model substrate 2-methyl-2-butene was 5 mM, the turnover number (
kcat) 1.3 × 10
3 s
−1 and the calculated catalytic efficiency,
kcat/
Km, was 2.5 × 10
5 M
−1 s
−1. As epoxides represent chemical building blocks of high relevance, new enzymatic epoxidation pathways are of interest to complement existing chemical and biotechnological approaches. Stable and versatile peroxygenases as that of
A. aegerita may form a promising biocatalytic platform for the development of such enzyme-based syntheses.
