Abstrakt: Halogenation plays a unique role in the design of agrochemicals. Enzymatic halogenation reactions have attracted great attention due to their excellent specificity and mild reaction conditions. S -adenosyl-l-methionine (SAM)-dependent halogenases mediate the nucleophilic attack of halide ions (X - ) to SAM to produce 5'-XDA. However, only 11 SAM-dependent fluorinases and 3 chlorinases have been reported, highlighting the desire for additional halogenases. SAM-dependent hydroxide adenosyltransferase (HATase) has a similar reaction mechanism as halogenases but uses water as a substrate instead of halide ions. Here, we explored a HATase from the thermophile Thermotoga maritima MSB8 and transformed it into a halogenase. We identified a key dyad W8L/V71T for the halogenation reaction. We also obtained the best performing mutants for each halogenation reaction: M1, M2 and M4 for Cl - , Br - and I - , respectively. The M4 mutant retained the thermostability of HATase in the iodination reaction at 80 °C, which surpasses the natural halogenase SalL. QM/MM revealed that these mutants bind halide ions with more suitable angles for nucleophilic attack of C5' of SAM, thus conferring halogenation capabilities. Our work achieved the halide ion specificity of halogenases and generated thermostable halogenases for the first time, which provides new opportunities to expand the halogenase repertoire from hydroxylase.
