The Fe- and 2-oxoglutarate-dependent oxygenase SptF is a promising powerful biocatalys with unusual catalytic versatility and promiscuity. The site-specific random substitution of N150, I63, and N65, which are involved in substrate interactions, generated three compounds that were not produced by the SptF wild type. The substrate binding mode was dramatically altered by the introduction of only one or two substitutions. These results provide insights into the engineering of Fe- and 2-oxoglutarate-dependent oxygenases for chemoenzymatic syntheses of bioactive compounds.
