Résumé

C2'-halogenation has been recognized as an essential modification to enhance the drug-like properties of nucleotide analogs. The direct C2'-halogenation of the nucleotide 2'-deoxyadenosine-5'-monophosphate (dAMP) has recently been achieved using the Fe(II)/α-ketoglutarate-dependent nucleotide halogenase AdaV. However, the limited substrate scope of this enzyme hampers its broader applications. In this study, we report two halogenases capable of halogenating 2'-deoxyguanosine monophosphate (dGMP), thereby expanding the family of nucleotide halogenases. Computational studies reveal that nucleotide specificity is regulated by the binding pose of the phosphate group. Based on these findings, we successfully engineered the substrate specificity of these halogenases by mutating second-sphere residues. This work expands the toolbox of nucleotide halogenases and provides insights into the regulation mechanism of nucleotide specificity.
