l-DOPA-2,3-dioxygenase from Streptomyces lincolnensis is a single domain type I extradiol dioxygenase of the vicinal oxygen chelate superfamily and catalyzes the second step in the metabolism of the propylhygric acid moiety of the antibiotic, lincomycin. In this report, the kinetic mechanism of l-DOPA dioxygenase is interrogated using stopped-flow in order to determine microscopic rate constants. Pre-steady state, progress curve and steady-state data were combined in a global kinetic analysis using KinTek Explorer in order to define and constrain a kinetic model for the type I l-DOPA dioxygenase. The data are best described by a four step mechanism, in which the cyclization of the enzymatic product is not enzyme catalyzed.

Background: Dopaxanthin is a natural pigment betaxanthins family member with the highest antioxidant and free radical scavenging activities. However, its relatively low content in plants limited the wide range of applications. Cost-efficient microbial production, therefore, showed an attractive alternative.

Extradiol dioxygenases are a class of non-heme iron-dependent enzymes found in eukaryotes and prokaryotes that play a vital role in the aerobic catabolism of aromatic compounds. They are generally divided into three evolutionarily independent superfamilies with different protein folds. Our recent studies have shed light on the catalytic mechanisms and structure-function relationships of two specific extradiol dioxygenases: 3-hydroxyanthranilate-3,4-dioxygenase, a Type III enzyme essential in mammals for producing a precursor for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, and L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine dioxygenase, an uncommon form of Type I enzymes involved in natural product biosynthesis.

The largest natural reservoir of untapped carbon can be found in the cell-wall strengthening, plant woody-tissue polymer, lignin - a polymer of catechols or 1,2-dihydroxybenzene monomers. The catecholic carbon of lignin could be valorized into feedstocks and natural products by way of catabolic and biosynthetic transformations, including the oxygen-dependent cleavage reaction of extradiol dioxygenase (EDX) enzymes. The EDX l-DOPA 2,3-dioxygenase was first discovered as part of a biosynthetic gene cluster to the natural product antibiotic, lincomycin, and also contributes to the biosyntheses of anthramycin, sibiromycin, tomaymycin, porothramycin and hormaomycin.

Synthetic biology provides emerging tools to produce valuable compounds in plant hosts as sustainable chemical production platforms. However, little is known about how supply and utilization of precursors is coordinated at the interface of plant primary and specialized metabolism, limiting our ability to efficiently produce high levels of target specialized metabolites in plants. L-Tyrosine is an aromatic amino acid precursor of diverse plant natural products including betalain pigments, which are used as the major natural food red colorants and more recently a visual marker for plant transformation.
