Abstract The development of hydrogenases capable of operating under oxygenic photosynthetic conditions remains a key challenge for sustainable biohydrogen production. In this study, we developed a series of chimeric NAD(+)-reducing [NiFe]-hydrogenases (SH) combining structural elements from the O-2-tolerant SH of Cupriavidus necator (CnSH) and the ferredoxin-interacting SH of Synechocystis sp. PCC6803 (SynSH). By engineering chimeric HoxU and HoxF subunits, we developed constructs-MixSH, Ch-HoxEF(Syn)+U-Cn, and Ch-HoxU(swapCTD)-that successfully couple the CnHoxYH hydrogenase module to the SynHoxEFU reductase module while retaining O-2 tolerance and enhancing interaction with reduced ferredoxin. The lithoautotrophic growth of C. necator confirmed the tolerance of these variants to O-2, while activity assays in Synechocystis demonstrated partial hydrogenase function, including H-2 consumption and fermentative H-2 production. Notably, Ch-HoxEF(Syn)+U-Cn retained ferredoxin interaction despite lacking the [4Fe4S](U4) cluster, showing [2Fe2S](F2) in HoxF as a functional ferredoxin-binding site. Moreover, we achieved the artificial integration of a [2Fe2S] cluster into CnHoxF and identified the CnHoxF N-terminal domain as structurally and functionally analogous to SynHoxE. Although electron transfer efficiency and activity in Synechocystis remained limited, this work validates the modular engineering of [NiFe]-hydrogenases, uniting O-2-tolerance with ferredoxin interaction and offering a foundational step toward photosynthesis-coupled H-2 production.
