description Bacterial cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes are versatile biocatalysts that are responsible for the biotransformation of diverse endogenous substances. CYP105A5 from <i>Streptomyces</i> sp. showed substrate flexibility with different flavonoids and was able to catalyze O-demethylation of biochanin A, regioselective C3′-hydroxylation of daidzein, genistein, and naringenin, and additional C8-hydroxylation for daidzein using heterologous redox partners putidaredoxin and putidaredoxin reductase. By rational design of substrate-binding pocket based on experimental data, homology modeling, and molecular docking analysis, we enhanced the product formation rate of flavonoids. The double mutant L100A/I302A and L100A/I408N exhibited greatly enhanced in vivo conversion rates for flavonoid hydroxylation. Particularly, the L100A/I302A mutant’s <i>k<sub>cat</sub>/K<sub>m</sub></i> values and in vivo conversion rate increased by 1.68-fold and 2.57-fold, respectively, for naringenin. Overall, our result might facilitate the potential use of CYP105A5 for future modification and application in whole-cell biocatalysts for the production of valuable polyphenols.
