Styrene monooxygenases (SMOs) are two-component enzymes known to catalyze the epoxidation of styrene to (S)-styrene oxide. In this work, we identified a new oxygenase component, named StStyA, from the genome of Streptomyces sp. NRRL S-31. StStyA displayed complementary stereoselectivity to all of the known SMOs when coupled with a known reductase component (PsStyB), which made it the first natural SMO that produces (R)-styrene oxide. Accordingly, a plasmid co-expressing StStyA and PsStyB was constructed, which led to an artificial two-component SMO, named StStyA/B. When applied in the bio-epoxidation of nine aromatic alkenes, the enzyme showed activity toward five alkenes, and consistently displayed (R)-selecti... More
