Abstract

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> An active site normally locates inside of enzymes, substrates should go through the tunnel to access the active site. Tunnel engineering is a powerful strategy for refining the catalytic properties of enzymes. Here, P450<jats:sub>Bsβ</jats:sub>HI (Q85H/ V170I) derived from hydroxylase P450<jats:sub>Bsβ</jats:sub> from <jats:italic>Bacillus subtilis</jats:italic> was chosen as study model, which is reported as a potential decarbonylase. However, this enzyme showed low decarboxylase activity towards long-chain fatty acids. Here, a tunnel engineering campaign was performed for modulating the substrate preference and improving the decarbonylase activity of P450<jats:sub>Bsβ</jats:sub>HI. The finally obtained BsβHI-F79A variant had a 15.2-fold improved conversion for palmitic acid; BsβHI-F173V variant had a 3.9-fold improved conversion for pentadecanoic acid. The study demonstrates how the substrate preference can be modulated by tunnel engineering strategy.
