Abstract

Chemical modification of small molecules is a key step for the development of pharmaceuticals. S ‐adenosyl‐ l ‐methionine (SAM) analogues are used by methyltransferases (MTs) to transfer alkyl, allyl and benzyl moieties chemo‐, stereo‐ and regioselectively onto nucleophilic substrates, enabling an enzymatic way for specific derivatisation of a wide range of molecules. l ‐Methionine analogues are required for the synthesis of SAM analogues. Most of these are not commercially available. In nature, O ‐acetyl‐ l ‐homoserine sulfhydrolases (OAHS) catalyse the synthesis of l ‐methionine from O ‐acetyl‐ l ‐homoserine or l ‐homocysteine, and methyl mercaptan. Here, we investigated the substrate scope of Sc OAHS from Saccharomyces cerevisiae for the production of l ‐methionine analogues from l ‐homocysteine and organic thiols. The promiscuous enzyme was used to synthesise nine different l ‐methionine analogues with modifications on the thioether residue up to a conversion of 75 %. Sc OAHS was combined with an established MT dependent three‐enzyme alkylation cascade, allowing transfer of in total seven moieties onto two MT substrates. For ethylation, conversion was nearly doubled with the new four‐enzyme cascade, indicating a beneficial effect of the in situ production of l ‐methionine analogues with Sc OAHS.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
