The structural bases for the substrate specificity of the enzyme's oxygenase component (BphAE(LB400)) are largely unknown. BphAE(p4), a variant previously obtained through directed evolution, transforms several chlorobiphenyls, including 2,6-dichlorobiphenyl, more efficiently than BphAE(LB400) yet differs from the parent oxygenase at only two positions: T335A/F336M. Herein, we compare the structure of BphAE(LB400) and BphAE(p4) and examine the biochemical properties of two BphAE(LB400) variants with single substitutions, T335A or F336M. Our data show that residue 336 contacts the biphenyl and influences the regiospecificity of the reaction, but does not enhance the enzyme's reactivity toward 2,6-dichlorobiphenyl. By contrast, residue 335 did not contact biphenyl, but contributed significantly to expansion of the enzyme's substrate range. Crystal structures indicate that Thr335 imposes constraints through hydrogen bonds and non-bonded contacts to the segment from Val320 to Gln322. These contacts are lost when Thr is replaced by Ala, relieving intramolecular constraints and allowing for significant movement of this segment during binding of 2,6-dichlorobiphenyl, increasing the space available to accommodate the doubly-ortho-chlorinated congener 2,6-dichlorobiphenyl. This study provides important insight about how ROs can expand substrate range through mutations that increase the plasticity and/or mobility of protein segments lining the catalytic cavity.
