Sumario:Abstract Enzymes with low regioselectivity of substrate reaction sites may produce multiple products from a single substrate. When a target product is produced industrially using these enzymes, the production of non-target products (byproducts) causes adverse effects such as increased processing costs for purification and the amount of raw material. Thus it is required the development of modified enzymes to reduce the amount of byproducts’ production. In this paper, we report a method called mutation site prediction for enhancing the regioselectivity of substrate reaction sites (MSPER). MSPER takes conformational data for docking poses of an enzyme and a substrate as input and automatically generates a ranked list of mutation sites to destabilize docking poses for byproducts while maintaining those for target products in silico. We applied MSPER to the enzyme cytochrome P450 CYP102A1 (BM3) and the two substrates to enhance the regioselectivity for four target products with different reaction sites. The 13 of the total 14 top-ranked mutation sites predicted by MSPER for the four target products succeeded in selectively enhancing the regioselectivity up to 6.4-fold. The results indicate that MSPER can distinguish differences of substrate structures and the reaction sites, and can accurately predict mutation sites to enhance regioselectivity without selection by directed evolution screening.
