Popis: The enzyme ZHD101 from Clonostachys rosea hydrolyzes and deactivates the mycotoxin zearalenone (ZEN) and its zearalenol (ZOL) derivatives. ZHD101 prefers ZEN to ZOL as its substrate, but ZOL, especially the α-form, shows higher estrogenic toxicity than ZEN. To enhance α-ZOL selectivity, we solved the complex structures of ZHD101 with both ZOLs and modified several lactone-surrounding residues. Among the mutants, V153H maintained activity for ZEN but showed a 3.7-fold increase in specific activity against α-ZOL, with an ∼2.7-fold reduction in substrate affinity but a 5.2-fold higher turnover rate. We then determined two V153H/ZOL complex structures. Here, the α-ZOL lactone ring is hydrogen-bonded to the H153 side chain, yielding a larger space for H242 to reconstitute the catalytic triad. In conclusion, structure-based engineering was successfully employed to improve the ZHD101 activity toward the more toxic α-ZOL, with great potential in further industrial applications.
