CYP152 peroxygenases catalyze decarboxylation and hydroxylation of fatty acids using H2O2 as cofactor. To understand the molecular basis for the chemo- and regioselectivity of these unique P450 enzymes, we analyze the activities of three CYP152 peroxygenases (OleTJE, P450SPα, P450BSβ) towards cis- and trans-dodecenoic acids as substrate probes. The unexpected 6S-hydroxylation of the trans-isomer and 4R-hydroxylation of the cis-isomer by OleTJE, and molecular docking results suggest that the unprecedented selectivity is due to OleTJE’s preference of C2?C3 cis-configuration. In addition to the common epoxide products, undecanal is the unexpected major product of P450SPα and P450BSβ regardless of the cis/trans-configuration of substrates. The combined H218O2 tracing experiments, MD simulations, and QM/MM calculations unravel an unusual mechanism for Compound I-mediated aldehyde formation in which the active site water derived from H2O2 activation is involved in the generation of a four-membered ring lactone intermediate. These findings provide new insights into the unusual mechanisms of CYP152 peroxygenases.
