teaching lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases to do cytochrome p450 catalysis

lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases lpmo and cytochrome p450 cyp are copper and irondependent respectivelyenzymatic systems that perform regio and stereospecific oxidation of nonactivated hydrocarbons in nature to control suchreactions in modern industry and biotechnology is of utmost importance in creating products of value such as secondgenerationbioethanol and products of value for ie the pharmaceutical industry due to the major drawbacks of using cypsincluding their partially membrane bound nature and the requirement of a reductase in combination with reducing agentssuch as nadph to transfer electrons to the active site for oxygen activation it is highly desirable to develop new type ofcatalyst that can perform the same type of reactions an attractive alternative strategy is to engineer lpmos to perform cypcatalysis lpmos are small robust easy to produce in large scale and rigid watersoluble proteins with a plethora ofelectron donors the extended flat lpmo surface with huge natural sequence variation and thus likely mutability providesa fantastic scaffold for engineering access to the active site as well as substrate affinity we propose to use lpmosengineered to accommodate typical cyp substrates and immobilize this on solid supports to provide confinement necessaryin bringing the oxygen species together with the ch bond to be oxidized in a tailored closed environment moreover therate of lpmo catalysis can be greatly enhanced compared to traditional cyp catalysis by the addition h2o2 in the presenceof low priming concentrations of an external reductant to achieve efficiency constants kcatkm in the order of 106 m1s1which is typical for peroxygenases the proposed groundbreaking research fits excellently well with the work programfuture and emerging technologies where the goal is to challenge current thinking
characterization of the mobility and evolution of nontransmissible plasmids

bacteria are extraordinarily adaptive organisms spread all over the globe and making up about half of the cells in our bodies their main source of novel functions is horizontal gene transfer usually prompted by mobile genetic elements such as plasmids that provide them with a wide range of traits plasmid conjugation is the main mechanism of dissemination of antimicrobial resistance amr an increasingly important health problem however more than half of the plasmids found in bacterial genomes lack genes encoding conjugation functions and it is not known how they are transferred between cells since extensive data shows that many of these plasmids are transferred it is important and urgent to study how this takes place to understand and predict their epidemiological patterns evoplas has two main objectives first to unravel the mechanisms by which the putatively nontransmissible plasmids are transferred between cells thereby showing the actual ability of plasmids to spread within populations second to identify the evolutionary origins of nontransmissible plasmids and understand their stability in bacterial lineagesevoplas will use bioinformatics and experimental biology to leverage massive genomic data in order to unravel key aspects of bacterial evolution by horizontal gene transfer it will additionally provide cuttingedge knowledge on the evolution of bacterial conjugation novel insights into integrative mobile genetic elements and provide major advances on the understanding of how amr spreads at the later stages of evoplas we will develop machine learning models of plasmid mobility to anticipate the dissemination of antimicrobial resistance genes hence by combining my expertise in plasmid biology with the host labs expertise in big data and computational biology evoplas has the potential to uncover new insights into bacterial and plasmid evolution and provide novel approaches to fight against the spread of amr
