| Abstract | The Birch reduction of aromatic rings to cyclohexadiene compounds is widely used in chemical synthesis and requires solvated electrons, the most potent reductants known in organic chemistry. Benzoyl-coenzyme A (CoA) reductases (BCR) are key enzymes in the anaerobic bacterial degradation of aromatic compounds and catalyze an analogous reaction under physiological conditions. Class I BCRs are FeS enzymes and couple the reductive dearomatization of benzoyl-CoA to cyclohexa-1,5-diene-1-carboxyl-CoA (dienoyl-CoA) to a stoichiometric ATP hydrolysis. Here, we report on a tungsten-containing class II BCR from Geobacter metallireducens that catalyzed the fully reversible, ATP-independent dearomatization of benzoyl-CoA to dienoyl-CoA. BCR additionally catalyzed the disproportionation of dienoyl-CoA to benzoyl-CoA/monoenoyl-CoA and the four- and six-electron reduction of benzoyl-CoA in the presence of a reduced low-potential bridged 2,2'-bipyridyl redox dye. Reversible redox titration experiments in the presence of this redox dye revealed a midpoint potential of E0'= -622 mV for the benzoyl-CoA/dienoyl-CoA couple, which is far below the values of other known reversible substrate/product redox couples in enzymology. This work demonstrates the efficiency of reversible metalloenzyme catalysis, which in chemical synthesis can only be achieved under essentially irreversible conditions. |
