Structure-guided engineering of α-ketoisocaproate dioxygenase increases isobutene production in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803
Conrad Schumann, Amit Kugler, Bhavik Shah…·Karin Stensjö
This paper improves isobutene production in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 by engineering the promiscuous RnKICD enzyme to enhance its selectivity for KIC over HPP, resulting in a 4-fold increase in isobutene yield.
