报告摘要：
Actinobacteria are treasure box of P450s, dioxygenases and tyrosinases which can perform various oxidation reactions. Using the regiospecific hydroxylation of (iso)flavonoids( e.g. daidzein, genistein, apigenin etc.) as a model system, we have identified that both tyrosinase and P450s are greatly involved in the hydroxylation. Removal of tyrosinase activity is critical to the reduction in the degradation of (iso)flavonoids and maintain the regiospecific hydroxylation exerted by P450s. It will be discussed that how we can improve various reaction parameters of P450, such as oxygen and substrate transfer rate, electron transfer efficiency, and reaction rate constants, hence reaction productivity and yields by using protein engineering as well as host cell development. In addition, it will be discussed that how we can reduce the degradation of (iso)flavonoids using various strategies, such as deletion of dioxygenase and/or tyrosinase, metal ion limitation, introduction of reversible inhibitors, etc.
